As you may know, in Ontario, Canada, there is an act, called “The Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act”, under which the salaries of ALL public sector employees, including UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS, who were paid C$100,000 or more, are required to be disclosed to the public. Since one of the ‘guest’ professors, Zhu, Xiaodong (Associate Professor, University of Toronto), happens to be in Ontario, I checked the Government of Ontario website and found that his name was not on the list. Based on this, it is quite certain that this professor’s salary in 2001 was definitely less than C$100,000, not to mention U$100,000. So, when one of the ‘guest’ professors claimed that they all had salaries of more than U$100,000, he was definitely telling a lie. He, as a Chinese, no matter what his citizenship may be, should not have treated China like this, especially in the name of loving China. The information I found is included below, but you can easily verify it yourself at: http://www.gov.on.ca/FIN/english/psecteng.htm. Best. Alan.

Disclosure Act Introduction Each year, since the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act was passed in 1996, the Ontario Government has published a compendium on public sector employees who were paid a salary of $100,000 or more. Organizations that receive public funding from the Province of Ontario are required to disclose the names, positions, salaries and taxable benefits of these employees. The purpose of this law is to provide a more open and accountable system of government. It lets taxpayers compare the performance of an organization with the compensation given to the people running it. People paid $100,000 or more a year are usually the senior employees in an organization. It also provides taxpayers with more details on how their tax dollars are spent. Public Sector salaries disclosed The Act covers city and other local governments, universities and colleges, school boards, hospitals, and Crown agencies such as Ontario Place. It also applies Provincial Government ministries and members of the Assembly. Other non-profit organizations that receive a large share of their funding from the provincial government are covered as well. To determine if an organization is covered by the Act, contact the organization or the Ministry that funds it. ... Whats included in the salary disclosure The $100,000 figure means salary before taxes, and does not include taxable benefits. However, for those who are paid $100,000 or more, the total value of these taxable benefits must be disclosed. To make it easy for organizations to comply, the definition of salary paid and taxable benefits is identical to that on the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency T4 slip. The Act does not authorize employers to disclose what the specific benefits are. Compliance All organizations that are covered by this Act must prepare a list each year of the employees who were paid $100,000 or more the year before, with their names, positions, salaries and the value of their taxable benefits. Each organization must make the list available on their premises, in a place where any member of the public can easily see and review it. The list must be available for inspection without charge between March 31 and December 31 of the year it is disclosed. ... A compendium of the lists of all organizations disclosing salaries, as well as organizations stating they have no employee salaries at $100,000 or more, is also available on the Ministry of Finance web site. The complete report, or sections thereof, can be easily printed from the web site.
