Monterey Peninsula College trustees unanimously approved a 3.5 year contract for incoming president Walter Tribley. He's scheduled to begin service Dec. 17.
His annual salary will be $205,000, minus a 2 percent wage concession for 2012-13, for a total of $200,859. He'll receive similar health and other benefits as other administrators, a $625 monthly expense allowance and $625 monthly car allowance.
Tribley will be earning considerably less than his predecessor, who was hired at $215,000 in 2008 and has earned a 5 percent increase every year minus wage concessions like all the rest of the staff.
Willard Lewellyn, hired to lead Hartnell College in the summer, has a yearly salary of $225,000 plus benefits, a $450 monthly allowance for use of his personal car for college businesses and $5,000 for moving expenses.

CSU trustees to vote on pay for Dianne Harrison, Eduardo Ochoa
California State University trustees will discuss what to do if Gov. Brown's tax measure fails in November -- raise tuition, cut employees compensation.
They'll also vote on how much to pay newly appointed campus presidents. Dianne Harrison, who was appointed to lead CSU Northridge, would receive the same annual salary of her predecessor ($295,000) but receive an annual supplement provided by the university's private foundation of $29,500.
Incoming interim president Eduardo Ochoa would receive the same annual salary Harrison was receiving, $270,315.

Of Hartnell and MPC presidents...
As figure heads, college presidents evoke lots of emotion. Whether it is about how they're hired or how much they make, all involved want to have a say on their college leaders.
No, MPC's Doug Garrison did not get a raise, as a student had heard. He's still making about $240,000 a year, even after taking a pay cut like the rest of the college personnel. A reader who identified himself/herself as "lrelgart" wrote on my blog:
"Ah. Good to know. As a student at MPC and a parent of a child here, I think he should reduce his salary by a $100,000 a year so that school programs can have the funding to continue our education."
Trustees will tell you it's probably impossible to hire a college president in California for $140,000 a year. Why would anybody want to come to Monterey, one of the most expensive areas in the state, to earn that much to lead a 10,000 student organization, when they could go elsewhere and make almost twice as much? It's not going to happen. And I understand the feelings behind it -- heck, I'd love to make $140,000, but unfortunately, my credentials would not be sufficient to lead an organization like MPC.
But precisely because they make so much money, and have such a strong influence in the destinies of their institutions, is why people get so emotionally involved with the process to select them. As well they should.
Hartnell faculty say the process to hire a new president has become tainted, after they found out the consultant retained to find candidates helped place a controversial educator at San Joaquin Delta College. At Delta, teachers and employees are terribly upset with the tenure of Jeff Marsee, who was placed on leave last week after only nine months on the job.
"I am upset at the fact that the Trustees chose Dr. Marsee and didn't do their own research aside from obtaining information from the consultant(s) who recommended him," wrote Claudia Navarro, an office assistant at Delta, in an email.
The moral of the story? No matter how Hartell decides to go about finding its new president, it'd be much better if an independent investigation is conducted on the final candidates. That would be a lot better than ending up with a bad president and nine months down the drain.
