A survey of the most recent salaries of college presidents found that Suffolk University's David Sargent was the highest paid university president in the country in the 2006-2007 year at $2.8 million. The hefty figure was published in most major newspapers Monday morning and raised criticism over the perceived increase in university spending, in spite of a declining economy. On Monday, Suffolk's Director of Public Affairs Greg Gatlin explained that Sargent's salary was a unique case - meant to recognize that Sargent, 77, had been "woefully underpaid" over his 52-year tenure at the school. Suffolk's Board of Directors granted him the pay raise in 2006, to make up for years of being paid less than was standard for college presidents with his seniority.
