But who's to say that 1M$ isn't also 2.2%? Did you even consider that‽

I mean it's got previous salary right there it was a ~56% raise. Fucking bonkers.
I take it your depression is not from a PhD in math. If that were a 2.2% raise, then they'd (who am I kidding, he'd) be paid 45.5 million before.
It literally has his previous salary of 1.8M and the new salary of 2.8M in the blurb, don't even have to click the article...I calculated his actual raise not a made up one. Logi certainly isn't shorthand for logic is it?
We not doing /s anymore or...?
No /s, only math
Did a class on working with big data sets. The university payroll from the previous year is publicly available, so I did your standard crunching. Even talking the chairwoman and the assistant position she set up for her husband into account (the two highest individual wages), the biggest wage cost was facilities (physical plant). This is all the non-admin staff that maintain buildings, grounds, and all the amenities that made the campus run as a public facing entity.
I assume he's got at least a $4mil golden parachute severance guarantee in that contract.
