In case it wasn't clear what they're being paid for. Sheesh
I hate the color choice for the graph, I literally cannot tell which line is which. At least the data was down there.

This graph makes it look like increasing the salary of the chair significantly slowed down the loss of their users, was this what you intended by it?
From a page about geometric percent decreases, explaining that that kind of graph represents an unchanging loss of a percentage of the measured value every interval:
The sequence 100, 50, 25, 12.5, … is a geometric sequence. The common ratio is 1/2. To go from term to term, you keep multiplying by 1/2 (i.e., dividing by 2).
The graph of the sequence 100, 50, 25, 12.5, … is shown below:
