Thumbs Up: To University of Wisconsin System President Kevin Reilly, for his generosity to help students in need.
The UW Board of Regents last week voted Reilly a huge raise, from $341,864 a year to $414.593. The increase was in part to put him closer to the middle of the pay range for leaders at peer public universities and part because new UW-Madison Chancellor Carolyn Martin is going to make $437,000.
