On Friday, April 26, the Wright State Board of Trustees met to discuss end-of-year evaluations and resolutions. The board approved a 25% base salary bonus for President Sue Edwards, Student Government Association resolution 24-08 and an enhanced Premier Health affiliation agreement.
At the February meeting, trustees Dawn Conway, Jared Ebbing and Vice Chair Andrew Platt were appointed to a committee to evaluate the president and make recommendations for the board to vote on in the public session.
The committee determined that President Edwards had met her goals for the year and recommended the board award her a bonus of 25% of her base salary.
“President Edwards has implemented a student first model at Wright State University, prioritizing student success over a variety of initiatives,” the resolution reads.
The board unanimously approved the bonus.
“By awarding this bonus the board of trustees is affirming her leadership as our president,” Conway said.
In 2022, President Edwards made $512,879.04, according to The Buckeye Institute, an independent research and educational institution. Based on this salary, the 25% bonus would be about $128,219.
