The president of Tallahassee Community College is celebrating more than just his seventh year this month.

TCC President Bill Law says he's fought hard to keep faculty pay where he thinks it needs to be.

In data recently compiled by the college, TCC is the second highest paying two-year college in Florida, with its average full time faculty member making more than $70,000.

41% of 180 faculty members made $80,000 or more last year, which is compared to 12% of 140 faculty making that much in 2003.

The top ranking college is Indian River Community College in Fort Pierce, Florida.

Law says the college's focus has always been students first, but he says the best way to do that is with top notch professors.

Board members say this data will be beneficial in their future recruiting efforts.
