Time names Gee one of top 10 university presidents
In an issue due out Friday, Nov. 13, Time magazine paints Ohio State University President E. Gordon Gee as a tireless fund-raiser, a cunning political operator, and a man pushing for dramatic change in higher education.
Gee tops Time’s list of 10 Best College Presidents. The magazine names the bow-tie wearing Gee as the “big man on campus” while the others on the list are “nine presidents to watch.”
Among the nine to watch is University of Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman. Absent from the list are any Ivy Leaguers.
Gee, 65, oversees an enterprise with a $4.4 billion annual budget, 39,987 employees, and 63,217 students. He is paid $802,125 a year as a base salary and this year Gee elected to donate his $220,584 bonus and raise to student scholarships.
Gee led OSU between Sept. 1990 and Jan. 1998 and returned to the president’s job in 2007.
