Universities of Wisconsin leaders have approved pay raises for eight of the system's 13 chancellors as well as bonuses for chancellors that retain freshmen students.
MADISON, Wis. — Universities of Wisconsin leaders approved pay raises Friday for more than half of the system’s chancellors, annual bonuses for chancellors that retain freshmen students and six-figure payouts to UW- Madison Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin every year she stays at the flagship university.
The regents approved basic wage increases totaling $155,201 for eight of the system’s 13 chancellors. Mnookin will get the largest raise at 10%, bumping her salary from $811,512 annually to $892,663. Also included in the new pay plan are bonuses of up to 15% of their salary for chancellors who hit goals for retaining freshmen into their sophomore year. This year’s goals will be set following the release of enrollment numbers after the first 10 days of the fall semester.
Democratic Gov. Tony Evers has said he plans to ask the Legislature for $800 million for the system in his next budget and Pitsch said regents will seek pay raises for all UW employees through that budget. The request will be finalized at the regents’ August meeting.
