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, who has been president of MSU since 2005, had a base salary of $750,000 and had $100,000 in bonus pay. Mark Schlissel, the president of the University of Michigan, lands in the top 10 for base salary, ranking No. 5, with his $772,500 salary, but didn't make the top 10 for total compensation. He did not get a bonus in 2015, the survey said, but did get $100,000 set aside in deferred compensation.
