Aaron Taylor+FollowUM’s top earners: Coaches outpace doctorsUM’s highest-paid employees this year are mostly coaches, not doctors or professors. Dusty May, the men’s basketball coach, tops the list with a $4.6 million salary—almost $1 million more than last year. Football assistants and athletic leaders fill out much of the top 10, while the new Michigan Medicine CEO and a few top administrators round out the rest.
