her presidency has not been without conflict, Martin has been "seen by many as a stabilizing force on the Ypsilanti campus" at a time when the university had four presidents in five years, and scandals forced her two immediate predecessors from office. Reflecting on her oversight to date, EMU has seen enrollment increases, new campus buildings and new faculty hires. When her contract was renewed in 2013, the EMU Board of Regents chairwoman Francine Parker described Martin as having the board’s full support. Martin’s compensation was increased in 2011 by nearly $25,000, with performance bonuses of up to $17,500, which placed her salary in the mid-range of Michigan’s 15 public universities. Her renewed contract in 2013 increased her annual salary by 2.7 percent to $300,000. When her contract was renewed in 2014, the extension included a $40,000 raise, bringing her annual salary to $340,000. In several past years, Martin has returned her pay raises to support the University. According to AnnArbor.com, "Martin's personnel file, obtained though a FOIA request, reveals that her support among the board appears to have grown from 2008 to 2011." When her contract was extended in 2010, then-Chair of the Board of Regents Roy Wilbanks said in a press release, “President Martin has led Eastern and provided EMU with a stability unmatched during this decade. It’s been a time of significant growth in terms of enrollment and facilities...despite a challenging economy.” In a December 15, 2011 review, regent Beth Fitzsimmons wrote, "For the past decade I have never seen such positive discussion about and support for EMU." At the time of her 2014 contract extension, The Detroit News summarized her tenure as one “marked by enrollment gains, a successful fundraising campaign and several building projects...and [that] led the state in tuition restraint.” Tuition Restraint In Spring 2010, under the guidance of Martin, the EMU Board of Regents approved a plan to freeze tuition, room and board costs and mandatory fees for the following academic year. The initiative became known as “0,0,0” and was enacted with the goal of boosting enrollment and positively affecting the university’s revenues, offsetting a 3.1 percent education funding cut by the Michigan Legislature. The 2010 freeze marked the first time in 30 years the university did not increase tuition costs, after the university made one of the lowest increases among Michigan’s 15 public universities with a 3.8 percent increase in 2009.
