A salary survey prepared by North Dakota University System Chancellor Bill Goetz recommends the presidents of UND and North Dakota State University each receive between $300,000 and $325,000 annually.
That's an increase of between 41 percent and 53 percent over the presidents' current salary of about $212,000.
Goetz's recommendation is based on a survey of the schools' peer universities and was compiled with direction from a State Board of Higher Education Task Force on presidential pay.
That task force will meet by phone conference at 12:30 p.m. today to discuss Goetz' recommendations. The full state board will consider the recommendations at a meeting Thursday in Minot.
Goetz is also recommending:
