The presidents of Iowa's public universities are in for a pay raise. The board on Friday approved a two percent increase for the presidents at the University of Iowa, Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa.
UI President Sally Mason will earn about $493,000, Iowa State President Steven Leath, who started his job in January, will earn $448,000 and retiring UNI President Ben Allen will earn about $340,000. Allen will step down by July 1, 2013 after six years at the helm of the Cedar Falls school.
Last year, the regents approved four percent pay increases for the presidents.
