Public records show the salaries of the two highest-ranking police officers on the campus of the University of Connecticut have more than doubled in the last 10 years, The Associated Press reports.
The Hartford Courant reports that UConn Chief Robert Hudd has received nine pay raises worth more than $135,000 over that 10-year period, bringing his annual salary as of last August to more than $255,000.
The records show Major Ronald Blicher’s salary has increased from $92,000 in 2001 to nearly $202,000.
UConn trustees voted last month to set up a committee to review salaries of non-faculty employees after the newspaper reported that Hudd was earning more money than many big-city police chiefs — including those in Hartford and even New York City.
