IUP President Dr. Tony Atwater's contract and salary

Dear blogger,
Our class underwent a secret agent experiment to eek out little known information from the state system testing its availability for the public eye. Being a student attending college at IUP I thought it prudent to get an idea how long our president will be with us and what exactly goes on between his cabinet members and staff in Sutton Hall.
To begin to get an understanding I decided I would ask the university "Right-to-Know" officer on campus for a copy of the current president's contract and salary information.
The process was simple. I wrote a formal business letter to Michelle Fryling (said Right-to-Know officer) asking for the required documents on October 24th. On October 29th I assumed she would have gotten the letter so I called her office and left a voicemail asking if she received the letter and asking if she could get back to me soon. The very next day she called my cell phone and asked me if I wanted to pick up the information at her office or receive it in the mail because it was ready for me. I opted for the mail and it arrived on November 8th. It was listed as certified mail which I had to sign for and show identification to receive.
The information she sent me was not a full contract but it does include the president's annual salary of $239,083.00 and includes information about his term which goes until June 30, 2010. It goes into his duties and the relationships between cabinet members, vice presidents and provosts. I gleaned a lot of knowledge from this project which I highly value being a student here. I did not have any trouble getting the information and Fryling even inserted a little note into my letter wishing me luck on my project.
Since this was a secret agent project and all, I hadn't intended she find out I am a student but with a mailing address of 'Crimson Hawk' I guess it is hard to misinterpret.
While doing this project I felt as though I was doing something that was wrong. Even though everyone knows how much the president of the United States makes in a year it somehow felt impolite to try and weasel out the contract. I felt as though I was going behind the president's back by seeking this information. Now I realize that those feelings need to be checked. There is nothing sneaky or wrong about being aware of this information. Now I have a better understanding of my surroundings and can nip lame rumors about the university higher-ups in the bud. It is amazing how unaware people are of these real figures.

The information I sought was given to me. The system works.
