Documents provided by the University of Cincinnati show the highest paid employees are composed of mostly white males holding dean, administrative, coaching and medical faculty positions. In 2014, the top 80 earners made over $200,000 in pay, according to public university records. Males made up 77 percent of the top paid employees and 73 percent of the top 80 being white. The average pay for an UC employee is $62,317 plus bonuses. Male athletic coaches are often the highest paid employees at universities across the nation. In 2014, football coach Tommy Tuberville made nearly double UC President Santa Ono’s salary. Tuberville’s base salary was $300,000, but the coach made an additional $600,000 in bonuses. Head basketball coach Mick Cronin also received a $90,000 bonus, earning $490,000 in 2014. In 2013, Cronin’s salary was $300,000 with a $30,000 bonus at the end of the year. The large gap between Ono and Tuberville’s salary was made larger after Ono’s rejection of a $100,000 bonus. In 2015, Ono rejected a bonus for the third time. UC paid its coaches and athletic staff $19.9 million, which account for 36 percent of the $55.4 million athletic budget in 2014. Over $1,000 of a full-time student’s tuition goes to athletics per semester. SEE TOP PAID PG 2

Bearcats stand in solidarity for mental health HUY NGUYEN | CHIER REPORTER

The Cincinnati Bearcats versus Miami Hurricanes football game Thursday concluded Mental Health Awareness Week with the student section standing together in solidarity. It was 7:52 a.m. at Nippert Stadium and the Bearcats were winning 14-3 with nine minutes left for the first quarter when the football public announcer called for University of Cincinnati students to stand together for the 20,000 Bearcats campaign. Nearly every student was waving a bright yellow flyer that said, “I stand up for 20,000 Bearcats living with mental illnesses.” “It wasn’t really about teaching, it was just more about these people are here, let’s start the conversation out,” said Hannah Kenny, Student Government executive director of Mental Health Services. “I think it was really cool, it was good to know that everyone was in there for the same purpose,” said second-year biology student Maria Munoz, who was at the football game. During the stand, UC President Santa Ono walked onto the field to commend SG President Andrew Naab for SG’s work on improving mental health awareness and student services. SG had previously increased funding for UC Counseling and Psychological Services by $400,000 to increase staff, give students five free individual counseling sessions per semester and decrease the cost of additional sessions from $60 to $25. The 20,000 Bearcats campaign comes after recent studies have found that about half of all university students suffer from some form of mental illness, meaning that over 20,000 UC students must suffer from mental illness.

UC WINS AGAINST UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1947 CLAUDE THOMPSON | STAFF REPORTER

Defending their home turf in front of a record-setting Nippert Stadium crowd, the University of Cincinnati’s football team calmed the University of Miami Hurricanes in a 34-23 victory. UC marked its first victory against the Hurricanes since 1947 by holding the Hurricanes to only one field goal in the second half. The field goal came late in the fourth quarter and was answered by UC with a touchdown with just under seven minutes left, ensuring the Bearcat victory. “Huge win for our football team and a huge win for our American Athletic Conference,” said UC head coach Tommy Tuberville. “When you play out of conference, you want to play well and show up well. I thought our football team and our coaching did a heck of a job tonight. Two pretty evenly matched teams.” The game had a defensive shift in the second half with both teams adjusting well to their opponent’s offense. “[Miami] did an excellent job in the first half running the football and making us miss,”Tuberville said. “We probably had around 12 missed tackles. We got the defense together

and told them to just slow down. We try to play too fast sometimes, we get out of control, and we were just missing tackles. In the second half, our guys settled down on defense and didn’t panic. We gave up one long pass and we had a heck of a goal-line stand. It takes a team effort.”

and set the precedent,”Tuberville said. “We went three-and-out twice and then we made one first down, but then we had to punt. That was huge for them. They were trying to get the ball back, but we won the game on defense. Our defense grew up a little bit tonight.” A few key-offensive plays in the game ended up making the difference for the Bearcats. SEE FOOTBALL PG 5
