I thought the $623k that he made in the past was more than reasonable; I just hope that the $1.2mil was a one time "Happy Retirement" increase, and will not carry on to the new President. Of course, if he can make RIT stand along with MIT, CalTech, et al.- then pay him as much as he wants :) This is true; and I can’t really complain because Al increased the value of an RIT degree a lot, but I guess I just think that the head of a non-profit organization shouldn’t make as much as their counterpart in a for-profit organization.
