Big pay raise for Michigan State president. By The Associated Press â¢ Dec 13, 2014. EAST LANSING (AP) - The president of Michigan State University is getting a raise - whether she likes it or not. Trustees raised Lou Anna Simon's salary by 44 percent Friday to $750,000 and awarded her a $100,000 bonus. Simon has declined raises since 2007 and donated bonuses back to the university. Trustees say they greatly appreciate Simon's modesty and generosity.
Simon will complete her 10th year as Michigan Stateâs president at the end of December. Sheâs the second-longest serving university leader among the 14 Big Ten schools. Simon previously made $520,000 per year, amounting to a 44 percent increase. The announcement of Simonâs salary seemed to upset one student in the gallery. The student stood up before trustees were to vote and said the university uses adjunct professors to save costs and should use an adjunct president.
