Fox in the Golden State
No wonder N.C. State lost Chancellor Marye Anne Fox to the University of California-San Diego a couple of years ago.
She found gold out there on the Left Coast.
Fox was mentioned in an op-ed by Jennifer Washburn that we ran today. It seems her outside business interests have paid her $339,260 in the last year.
Her many outside commitments have drawn criticism. The fact that she's well paid for some of them also has led to concerns about outside influences on university policy.
Not that her official salary is shabby. It's $350,000 -- compared to the $248,000 she was paid at State.
In addition, UCSD paid her $248,000 that she would have gotten at State if she'd stayed. She was owed a year's sabbatical in Raleigh, but her new employers picked up the cost -- although that was not publicly disclosed until earlier this year.
All in all, she made a lucrative move out West.

"MOST OF US place enormous faith in our universities. We trust that they are autonomous, independent institutions committed to education, scholarship, academic freedom and the production of knowledge free from the influence of special interest groups. Right?"
"Current academic conflict-of-interest policies are weak and vary enormously from one institution to the next. Each university is afraid to tighten its rules for fear that this might drive talented faculty (and industry dollars) to other schools with more lax policies. But until the top U.S. research universities collectively adopt one rigorous, uniform policy, their autonomy will continue to erode."
These comments from the article could easily be made about our public schools and Tery Grier. Haven't MOST of us believed until recently that our schools were committed to improving education for our children? events over the past two years tell us different. And, talk about weak conflict of interest policies, how about GCS unable and unwilling to deal with such issues with Terry Grier and Deena Hayes?
People, take a look around. Public Education is a cash cow and big business. Who's making all of the money?
