Survey: UMinn President Ranks 30th in Pay Nationally
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A survey of salaries and benefits for public college leaders shows University of Minnesota President Eric Kahler is paid well above the national average compared to his counterparts.
The report by the Chronicle of Higher Education compares pay for more than 200 colleges and university leaders. Kahler receives $610,000 a year. The national average is $428,000.
Minnesota State Colleges & Universities Chancellor Steve Rosenstone receives a base pay of about $380,000, plus $58,000 for housing and personal expenses.
Rosenstone ranks 122 in a field of 227 nationwide. Kahler ranks 30th among public college presidents.
The survey also found that at more than half of the schools, the president was not the highest-paid person on campus. In Minnesota, Gophers head football coach Jerry Kill was paid about $2 million last season.
