Indiana State’s president gets contract extension

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — Indiana State University’s trustees have given the school president a new contract that runs until 2016.

The contract approved by the Board of Trustees on Tuesday keeps President Dan Bradley’s base salary at about $271,000 and calls for him to receive raises similar to those given other university employees.

Board President Mike Alley tells the Tribune-Star that an outside consultant who reviewed Bradley found widespread support for the work he’s done since taking the school’s top job in 2008.

Alley says that the university’s budget includes a possible 3 percent pay increase for employees later this year. Such a raise for Bradley would be less than the 12 percent raise going to Indiana University President Michael McRobbie and the 10 percent increase for Ball State President Jo Ann Gora.
