Statewide Iowa — The presidents of the University of Iowa and Iowa State University are each getting a 50-thousand dollar increase in their annual salaries, but the salary for the University of Northern Iowa’s president will remain the same after July 1st.
The Board of Regents approved the salary hikes late Thursday morning, along with deferred compensation packages for ISU president Wendy Winterstein, Iowa president Barbara Wilson and for UNI president Mark Nook.
That’s Board of Regents president Michael Richards. He suggests the extra compensation sends a signal.
The board has also approved a 20-thousand dollar performance incentive for the superintendent of the Iowa School for the Deaf in Council Bluffs. Mark Braun the executive director of the Board of Regents, will be getting a 50-thousand dollar retention bonus on July 1st and if Braun stays in the job for the next year he’ll get another 50- thousand dollar retention bonus on July 1st of 2023.
Mark Nook has been UNI’s leader for over five years. Wendy Winterstein has been ISU’s president since November of 2017. Barbara Wilson was hired last year to lead the University of Iowa.
