UNC Board of Governors approved 2016-2017 salary increases for 16 UNC-System chancellors raises ranging from 1.5 to 16.1 percent.

 

UNC-Charlotte Chancellor Philip Dubois will be paid $450,000. His 16.1 percent pay raise amounts to $56,688.

 

The Raleigh News and Observer reports Randy Woodson of N.C. State and Carol Folt of UNC-Chapel Hill rank first and second in overall salary. They received the second highest raises at 4.6 percent, along with N.C. Central Chancellor Debra Saunders-White. With the raises, 14 of 17 chancellors fit within the market range for their position, while a market range for one was not determined. That leaves Folt and Woodson as the only chancellors still shy of their desired ranges. Woodson’s final approved salary is $617,376, while Folt’s is $596,448.

 

Though more chancellors are getting raises this year, the majority are exclusively through the 1.5 percent state lawmakers allocated in the state budget. Seven chancellors received additional salary increases.
