Letters: High-paying education jobs

Re “School posts may be tough to fill,” June 11

Regarding the search to replace three chancellors of public colleges and universities, The Times quotes Scott Himelstein, president of the community colleges Board of Governors, as saying, “I think the governor and Legislature are very clear in not wanting to consider any raises in executive compensation.”

It’s a great sentiment but I have zero confidence that it will happen. There will be extensive national searches, and when the final candidates are selected, the public statements will say that the salaries offered were justified and necessary to attract the best person for each of these exceedingly difficult and complex positions.

I’d like to apply for the job writing that press release.
