Yeah, flawed reporting on real numbers. Real #fakenews, if you will.
I would imagine that not many university presidents remain at a school for 10 years.
How would you propose they report his salary ? Should they go back and revise the list for the past 10 years, spreading the $3 million out over those years ?
did they include the $3 million on previous versions of this report/story?
Ultimately it's all semantics- the paper said "Highest Paid" ... but it's not exactly his pay (which most people infer to be 'salary'). It's his compensation, which includes his base pay and bonuses. Yes, that's what the article goes on to say, but in the Twitter universe I think it matters how you title your articles. Otherwise you end up with a whole bunch of misinformed people getting upset that we pay him $4mil a year (we don't) because they didn't actually read the article.
