Last week, the Government of Ontario issued its report disclosing all salaries of public officials greater than $100,000, including the salaries of Ontario university faculty and staff. U of T, by far the largest university in the province, was once again leading the pack, with more than 1,500 faculty and staff earning more than $100,000. The top spot went to outgoing U of T VP and Chief Advancement Officer Jon Dellandrea, whose pre-tax salary for 2004 was $376,523.46 (Dellandrea is taking a job at Oxford University in July). Robert Birgeneau, former president of U of T, took home $398,104 in 2004 but dropped to tenth place this year after quitting in August to take up the chancellorship of the University of California at Berkeley, thus forgoing his last $90,000.
U of T’s $100K-and-over club grew to 1508 members in 2004, up from 1443 the year before. The full list of professors and staff earning at least $100,000 last year is available at www.gov.on.ca/FIN/english/salarydisclosure/2005/univer05.pdf
