For at least the third year in a row, the men's basketball coach makes the most money out of any St. Bonaventure University employee, according to the 2007-2008 form 990 completed April 14.
The Internal Revenue Service doesn't require the university to file the forms until the following school year, rather than on a year-by-year basis, according to Tom Missel, director of media relations, in an April 25, 2008, issue of The Bona Venture.
For the 2007-2008 school year, men's basketball head coach Mark Schmidt made $277,500, which is $100,000 more than any other employee and $100,000 more than former men's basketball coach Anthony Solomon made in the 2005-2006 school year, according to the form.
When considering salaries, the university looks at the market and salary ranges at similar schools with similar programs.
"From a university-wide perspective, I can tell you that we consider market factors when developing salary ranges for positions on campus," Brenda Snow, vice president for business and finance, wrote in an e-mail. "That particular position is unique and directly related to the athletic competition at the Division I level in the Atlantic 10 league."
From the 2006-2007 to the 2007-2008 school years, deans of three of the four schools received about a 4 percent increase in their salaries, and the dean of the school of business received about a 9 percent pay increase, moving from $109,337 in 2006-2007 to 119,700 in 2007-2008, according to the form.
Stephen Stahl, dean of the school of arts and sciences, made $114,078 in 2007-2008 and $118,980 in 2007-2008. Lee Coppola, dean of the Russell J. Jandoli School of Journalism and Mass Communication, made $110,737 in 2006-2007 and $115,223 in 2007-2008 and Peggy Burke, dean of the school of education, made $103, 161 in 2006-2007 and $108,069 in 2007-2008.
The form also listed 140 other employees at the university who made more than $50,000 in 2007-2008, up from 135 in 2006-2007.
