Ethics Board Docket No. 2021-889 <br /> Page 4 of13 <br /> assets governed by the Board of Supervisors and specifically includes LSUHSC-NO. <br /> 11. <br /> Mr. Schroth's receipt of supplemental compensation from LSUHSC-NO while employed <br /> as Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance was not approved by then LSU President <br /> Thomas Galligan, Jr. <br /> 12. <br /> By letter dated May 10, 2021, Chancellor Hollier formally requested that Mr. Schroth <br /> continue receiving $7,692 per month in supplemental compensation. LSU President Thomas <br /> Galligan Jr. did not provide LSUHSC-NO with formal approval for the request. <br /> 13. <br /> If called to testify, Keith Schroth would testify that: <br /> (a) He served in dual roles at LSUHSC-NO beginning in June 2016, when he was <br /> appointed to take on additional responsibilities as Associate Vice Chancellor for Business <br /> Development while continuing to serve as Associate Dean of Fiscal Affairs. This dual-role <br /> arrangement, which included supplemental compensation of$7,692 per month for the business <br /> development duties, was formally approved by then-LSU President King Alexander. <br /> (b) The supplemental compensation structure was established to compensate him for <br /> actual, non-gratuitous services rendered to LSUHSC-NO in the business development role, <br /> which were duties outside his base position as Associate Dean of Fiscal Affairs. These additional <br /> responsibilities delivered substantial and measurable value to the institution through business <br /> development services. <br /> (c) When he was promoted to Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance on <br /> November 1, 2020, his base salary increased to reflect his new executive-level position. <br />
