Big pay raise for Michigan State president. By The Associated Press â¢ Dec 13, 2014. EAST LANSING (AP) - The president of Michigan State University is getting a raise - whether she likes it or not. Trustees raised Lou Anna Simon's salary by 44 percent Friday to $750,000 and awarded her a $100,000 bonus. Simon has declined raises since 2007 and donated bonuses back to the university. Trustees say they greatly appreciate Simon's modesty and generosity.
Since Lou Anna K. Simon became MSU's 20th president in 2005, the couple's annual giving from net income, of cash or current gifts, has totaled more than $700,000. That includes a recent $50,000 donation to the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum.
