"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

I GOTTA CROW!



The Arizona Board of Regents on Thursday gave a 25 percent raise in pay and benefits to Arizona State University President Michael Crow.

The board voted unanimously on the unprecedented five-year contract, which raises Crow's annual salary and benefits to more than $720,000 a year. He also gets a one-time bonus of $600,000, paid with private funds, if he remains president for five years.

"I view this as sort of 'carry on and work harder,'" Crow said...

Crow can earn a bonus of up to $150,000, approved in March, if he meets 10 performance goals next year.

... "He's worth every dollar he gets paid because he delivers," DeConcini said.

... His aggressive approach has been unpopular with some faculty, who feel business values have intruded too much on the university's core academic mission.
