Several top officials for the city university system have been awarded substantial raises.

Chancellor Matthew Goldstein is said to have gotten a $40,000 pay increase, bringing his total salary to $580,000. This comes after an increase of $66,000 just over a year ago.

Seven other officials now have salaries over a quarter-million dollars.

A CUNY spokesman tells the paper the average salary increase was on pace with the four percent given to the faculty unions. He adds that almost half of Goldstein's raise is from private funds.

The raises come as tuition for four-year CUNY colleges rose by $600 this year to $4,600 per year.

Another two-percent hike has already been approved for next year, and is pending approval from the state Legislature.
