According to a compensation survey conducted by The Chronicle of Higher Education, University of Texas system chancellor Francisco Cigarroa earned $750,000 and University of Texas at Austin President William Powers earned $746,738 during fiscal year 2009-2010, making them number two and three respectively in the top 10 highest compensated public university administrative chiefs.
We were interested in taking a look at the data from a Texas perspective, and The Chronicle generously provided The Texas Tribune with the list of all Texas public university administrators included in its survey, which we have compiled and visualized here. Ten of the 13 administrators included in the list earned more than the nationwide average compensation rate, $375,442.
