The Florida State College at Jacksonville Board of Trustees has approved more than $200,000 in
raises, some as high as 30 percent, for some senior administrators and professional staff members.
The raises were recommended by President Steven Wallace during the college's August board
meeting, The decision closely follows an earlier board meeting where trustees unanimously approved
an 8 percent tuition hike for students — the rnaximum allowed in the state budget.
Florida State Collage spokeswoman Celine McArthur said the raises were modeled on salaries for
similar positions at comparable schools, such as Broward College and Daytona State College, in the
Florida College System. The main goal was to ensure the salaries were competitive with other
institutions, which is especially important for a schoo! working through the transitional period from
community to state college.
McArthur said Wallace first discussed pay increases for senior administrators two years ago after he
realized some of his campus leaders were underpaid in comparison to their regional counterparts.
But the country’s financial crisis and the state's tight budget led him to shelve the proposed raises.
The need for the increase became even more clear earlier this year when two campus leaders took
positions elsewhere, said Christine Arab, vice president of human resources. Arab said when they
‘were searching for replacement candidates, the approved salaries they posted on the job listings
lagged far behind other schools.
"We weren't competitive on a national front, and we weren't even able to meet our in-state
comparables," Arab said. "It was clear that we needed to increase those salaries fo attract and then
retain the best possible candidates."
The raises will be rolled out over the next two years. Arab said it's highly unlikely another set of
raises of this magnitude will be needed in the next five years.
Don Green, executive vice president for instruction and student services, received the largest bump.
His current annual salary is about $145,000, and the approved increases would boost that to
$166,000 this academic year and $189,000 in 2011-2012,McArthur, Celine
