In the article, "Dodds, Plonsky get raises", is very interesting considering Austin Independent School District is considering slashing over 1,000 jobs and many other cutbacks. DeLoss Dodds, the men's athletic director at the University of Texas, will be receiving a raise of $72,891 making his salary $700,000. His current contract also states that he will be receiving a $750,000 annuity payment this year. It gets even better, if Dodds is still employed by the University of Texas in August 31, 2014, he will be receiving a $1 million annuity payment.
As for Ms. Plonsky, although her salary will stay the same at a meer $265,848, her contract will be extended til 2017. Her pay will also jump from $40,000 to $90,000 for her work in the men's program. While our educators are suffering from job losses, these two have it made. It is nice to know we have our priorities in order.
