Brian Schrader, tenured professor of psychology, is being paid $73,735 this year, despite not teaching any classes this fall, according to his contract received through an open records request. This is more than his contract last year, in which he was paid $71,937.
Schrader was the center of The Bulletin’s investigation last semester, which told the story of an undergraduate international student—called “Jane” in the stories—who said she had been left feeling “hopeless” by the university’s response to her sexual assault complaint.
Jane alleged that Schrader had attempted to kiss her after taking her to a storage room on campus. Jane also said she was required by the university to sign an agreement that forbid her from talking to others about the case, or face discipline.
Schrader has not been on campus since March when administration said that he was on administrative leave after a second investigation was announced.
He is being paid an average of $8,192.77 a month or $32,771.08 for the fall semester, according to The Bulletin’s calculations.
The course schedules for the Spring are not released yet, and it is unclear if he will be teaching then.
Schrader is still considered an employee of Emporia State, according to human resources.
Schrader did not respond to The Bulletin’s requests for comment.
