In recent times the media has been doing a lot more of that, spurred likely by social media.
However, in this case, what do you suppose they can do? autopsy the guy or get more unsubstantiated claims from social media?
As another blogger pointed out in the Tribune, this candidate needs the position to salvage his academic career, derailed by two plagiarism brouhaha. Surely, he can consider a lower salary.
Besides, everything is relative. But I can see Uteb agreeing to it for selfish reasons: the president gets 400,000, we need now $100,000 to teach 6 classes, or about 150 students for a whole academic year-- and then print opinion polls as research.
The salary scale in the Bahamas cannot be compared to that in the US, so he has to make adjustments.
As for qualifications, Phd in education is not good for anything, especially raising funds.
I would just pay him whatever the other person was getting and then pay him bonus based on his ability to bring private money to the institution.

only in the Bahamas these university lecturers get free and clear things without having to produce anything.
in the us, the college presidents have to manage millions of dollars in endowment funds and and raise millions of dollars for the schools,
As a percentage of these sums, their salaries are not that much.
