Question is in the title. Some other states have an easy way to find out what individual faculty members make in their public universities (broken down by name), and some universities even have it on their websites.

Is there a central repository for Louisiana Public University faculty salaries that lists individual salaries by name?

I'd like to find out salaries of LSU, Louisiana Tech, and University of Louisiana Lafayette faculty members. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes and you'll be shocked at how much football coaches get paid!

No wonder he's not putting in the full effort.

(Edit: Are we sure that there's not some sort of accounting frickery going on? Like $500,000 comes from LSU, a state entity. But the other $6,000,000 comes from the Athletic Department, which might be incorporated as a private entity? Just wondering.)

There has to be. Public employee salaries are monstrous. Especially at public universities.

F. Alexander

List seems a little old.

non-athletic positions really don't pay that well apparently.

He did get a raise in 2020, but something is wrong with that list...

quote:

Orgeron signed a six-year, $42 million extension after LSU went 15-0 in 2019 and won the national championship. He was scheduled to make nearly $9 million in 2020 and his contract calls for a base salary of $6 million. A 5 percent cut means that Orgeron will make $300,000 less than he was scheduled to in 2021.

They got the number right for Saban at Alabama.

quote:

Nick Saban L in 2020 was employed in University of Alabama and had a reported pay of $9,127,934 according to public records. This pay is 15,647 percent higher than average and 21,099 percent higher than median salary in University of Alabama.

They only report tax payer funded salaries. The vast majority of his salary isn't paid by the university.

Yes that is exactly how it works.

The school pays $500K. The rest of his money is paid in bonuses, endorsements, etc, by the TAF and their partners.

Does anyone know how to find the one for Louisiana Tech in Ruston? It seems to be missing.

It's not all faculty but if you want to see LSU coaches' salaries for all sports, you can start here: Contracts

I appreciate the responses but not really what I was looking for. Other universities/states have every faculty member’s salary listed. Many even show it per month (faculty are on 9-month contracts and you’ll see their monthly pay. I just haven’t found that for the Louisiana system. I’d probably have to put in a public records request to get the info.
