University presidents given raises by the Board of Regents

June 6, 2014 By Dar Danielson

The Board of Regents approved raises for each of the three state university presidents Thursday. Iowa State University president Steven Leath received a $33,000 raise. Leath’s increase of more than seven-percent moves his salary to $500,000.

He was also given a 5-year contract and is eligible for tenure and deferred compensation of $500,000 if he stays until 2019. Leath took over in Ames in January of 2012 and the school has seen record enrollment.

The Regents approved a 2.5 percent increase in salary for University of Iowa president Sally Mason, and UNI president Bill Ruud. Mason was making $513,000 and Ruud $340,000. Both also will continue to receive deferred compensation packages.

Mason and Leath each received a 4 percent raise last year. Ruud did not get a raise at that time since he had just started in the job at UNI.
