UW-Madison’s chancellor is going to make more than a million-dollars next year.
University regents yesterday approved raises for eight of the UW’s 13 chancellors. UW-Madison Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin is getting a 10 percent raise for next year, which will bring her base salary up to 892 thousand-dollars. She is then in line for a 150 thousand-dollar retention bonus next year. That will push her paycheck to just over a million-dollars. Mnookin will then get 50 thousand-dollar retention bonuses in 2026, 2027, 2028, and 2029. The university says Mnookin is getting the bonuses simply for not leaving the school.
