The Shame of CoSIDA Continues

The Chronicle of Higher Education issues its annual median salaries of college administrators, and once again, sports information directors are on average the lowest paid athletics administrators -- better than $10,000 less than the next administrator group.

In the survey, only six other administrative positions in academia paid less; only two of them weren't assistant or associate positions to a head administrator.

$46,965 is the all-division median; $59,258 for doctoral, $45,423 for master's degree institutions and $41,672 for BA-granting schools.

The six below: director of Greek life, assistant/associate women's center director, asst. director of student activities, asst. director campus intermurals, housing officer/residence life and assistant registrar.

I guess we can be happy that last year there were only four positions as the SIDs have passed the assistant intermural directors and the women's center directors.

Says more about those jobs than the jump up from $46,020. You can read my longer rant on same survey from 2009 by jumping here.
