Wright State has been working since 2017 to dig itself out of a near financial crisis, and payroll data shows the university has continued to cut spending.
The university paid out about $154.6 million in payroll last year, which is about $10 million less than in 2018, according to payroll data analyzed by the Dayton Daily News.
Compensation is 70% of Wright State’s budget, said university spokesman Seth Bauguess.
Raiders Basketball Coach Scott Nagy made $523,533 in 2019, making him the highest-paid person at Wright State. This is about $23,000 less than he made in 2018.
With his bonus, Nagy made $546,477 in 2018.
Nagy received a bonus for making the NCAA Tournament in 2018, Bauguess said. That bonus was larger than the $22,283 bonus he received in 2019 for playing in the National Invitation Tournament.
