A national report shows tuition at Washington’s public universities increased more during the recession than in any state except Arizona.

According to the College Board’s report on “Trends in College Pricing,” from 2008 to 2014, Washington’s average in-state tuition increased by $4,085 in inflation-adjusted dollars.

The national average increased by $1,885 during that time.

Meanwhile, Dori found that 2,960 UW employees made over $100,000 in 2011, 401 of which made over $200,000.

According to data.spokesman.com, head football coach Steve Sarkisian made $2.5 million in 2011 as the highest paid UW employee, but several professors without tenure made over $350,000. An acting associate professor made $229,848. The dean of libraries made $217,668. A research scientist/engineer-Sr principal made $194,272. A full time lecturer made $170,004.
