As St. Louis Community College Trustees Weigh Budget Fix, Critics Eye Overspending Posted - Sarah Fenske, Riverfront Times

Some members of the STLCC community are questioning whether there might be another way. They argue that reckless spending by the administration got the college into its budget jam — and until that's addressed, it doesn't make sense to eliminate instructors. For just one example: the compensation package enjoyed by Chancellor Jeffrey Pittman, who came to St. Louis to take the job in the summer of 2015. The Missouri Department of Higher Education's "president and chancellor's compensation survey" has the details. It shows Pittman makes $260,000 as a base salary, which doesn't include the amount paid toward his retirement fund or his insurance. He also gets a housing allowance ($29,000 annually in FY 2016) and automobile allowance ($11,100 last year). https://www.riverfronttimes.com/newsblog/2017/11/30/as-st-louis-community-college-trustees-weigh-budget-fix-critics-eye-overspending
