FORT WORTH?Southwestern Seminary trustees met April 8-9 before the press deadline for last issue of the TEXAN, which included news of theirbrief business session with the election of three new faculty, several promotions, and a slight increase for next year’s budget. Missing, however, was a reference to adiscussion in the informal forum held prior to the plenary sessions that became available after the TEXAN’s deadline.
Details were provided in a laterSouthwestern news release, indicating that “thetrustees received a report from the president where he provided his annual disclosure of his compensation information and entertained questions related to it and the same information for the rest of the seminary’s senior administration.” In his comment to Southwestern’s reporter, outgoing trustee chairman Van McClain said, “Since Southern Baptists expect that their entities supported by the Cooperative Program will be governed with integrity and accountability, I am glad the salary of the president of Southwestern has been fully and willingly disclosed to all of the trustees of the seminary, even though Dr. Patterson has refused an increase in compensation since his arrival in 2003.”
