The article on the retirement in today’s print edition states that Pres. Sargent’s “salary is said to be approximately $800,000 a year” (p. 3).
There is no need to rely on hearsay. The salaries of the University’s highest paid employees are reported in IRS Form 990, a public document. You can download a copyfrom Guidestar.com – you have to create an account on the site, but it’s free.
