Across Idaho, 271 college and university employees earn more than Gov. Brad Little.

And almost half of these highest paid higher ed employees work at Boise State University.

Transparent Idaho, the state’s online checkbook, posts a running list of state employees who make more than Little’s $151,400-a-year salary.

Idaho Education News added to this list by requesting similar data from the state’s community colleges. (Transparent Idaho does not track community college salaries.)

Salaries don’t always come from state taxes, however. Coaches’ salaries, for example, may come partially or entirely from athletic program revenues.

Here’s a breakdown of the number of higher ed employees who make more than $151,400 per year.
