The Wright State Board of Trustees on Friday extended President Sue Edwards’s contract for another year.
Edwards’s contract now extends through June 30, 2026. Her base salary is $450,000.
“I’m humbled by the confidence the Wright State Board of Trustees have placed in me,” Edwards said in a statement. “My passion, focus and commitment is to our students. They are the reason I come to work every day. Wright State University is here to strengthen the region and the foundation of that mission is seated in helping students reach their educational and professional goals. We will remain focused on recruitment, retention and relationships while continuing to build an environment where students thrive because they are our number one priority!”
Board of Trustees chair Tom Gunlock said in introducing the motion at the board’s meeting, he wished to make clear the board’s approval of Edwards. The Wright State faculty recently voted “no confidence” in President Edwards.
“Let me be clear, Sue does an amazing job and it is clear that the vast majority of faculty, as well as all of our staff in the student body embrace her leadership,” Gunlock said Friday.
At the meeting, Gunlock applauded the student government for passing a resolution of confidence in Edwards.
