CWU president to get $500,000 incentive pay

Central Washington University President James Gaudino will earn $500,000 in incentive pay if he stays with the university for five more years, under a contract renewal approved this month by the school's trustees.

The decision has upset faculty, students and staff members at the Ellensburg campus. Public School Employees of Washington, a union that represents support staff working at CWU, has asked Gov. Chris Gregoire to declare the contract infeasible.
