You think Barron could be a hedge fund manager? Somebody's been hitting the bong.
A collection room? I didn't know there was going to be a sperm donation center combined with the museum. I cannot think of a university facility more fitting to be emblazoned with the name "Barren".

He could have been. Had he been as successful at that as he has been as a college president, he would have starved.
I'm going for the "Art Family Vice President of Intercollegiate Athletics" at PSU. Going rate is $4.12.
Where does barren‘s salary rank against other presidents of public universities?

From Pennlive today -
"Barron, 69, was awarded an increase of 2.5 percent for 2021-22, which resets his base salary to $876,612. Barron’s total compensation - including a scheduled $200,000 retention bonus and other perks - will be above $1.1 million. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, Barron was the 7th-highest paid public college leader in America in 2020."
I know he was third one year. That was when he got that $1 million performance bonus. I think he made $1.8 million + in total compensation that year. Was it 2018 or 2019? Can't remember which.
Would you have used the word “reset” in the first sentence? Where do they find these people?
That‘s disappointing. PSU is the worst value in the b1g, meaning PSU is expensive and poor people need not apply. Given that, barren should be the highest-paid. 😕
And yet students still want to go there. Go figure.
per Onward State:
Over the past year, the coronavirus pandemic has altered nearly every aspect of our lives, and college admissions are no different. Despite a lot of colleges reporting a decrease in applications, Penn State’s pool is only growing.
According to the university, Penn State as a whole has seen an increase of applicationsin the current cycle by 8% compared to last year by January 19. University Park has an even higher rate of applicants — an 11% increase from 2019-20.
Why are more high school seniors interested in Dear Old State than usual? According to researchers, adaptations made to the application process due to the coronavirus is actually to thank for this phenomenon.
Of this year’s prospective incoming freshmen, 58% chose not to submit their test scores, a first for Penn State amid the pandemic. According to the Washington Post, the allure of keeping the test score out of the application is the main reason so many high school seniors are willing to apply to “tougher” schools.
The same has happened with other elite universities, most notably in the Ivy League and UCLA. After suspending ACT and SAT requirements, Harvard received a record-high 57,000 applicants and delayed its admissions deadline by a week.
Unfortunately for the rest of the nation, it is a case of the rich getting richer. College Board announced that Common App submissions were down 2% this year across the United States.
The increase in Penn State applications may continue for the near future after the university announced it would continue its test score suspension through 2023

You should expand the question to include how much does Gray also receive for the consulting work he does for PSU. Look at it this way: someone has to do Sara Thorndike's job.
