John King, Chancellor of the SUNY system, now commands a compensation package exceeding $1 million, including a $875,000 salary and a $15,000 monthly housing stipend. This adjustment by the SUNY Board of Trustees is positioned as a means to keep up with comparable national compensation standards. Although King lost a travel stipend, his remuneration is still below that of similar leaders across other states. A spokesperson highlighted King's performance and the importance of his role overseeing the largest public higher education system in the U.S.
"The SUNY Chancellor oversees the nation's largest statewide comprehensive system of public higher education, and his compensation reflects his outstanding performance driving SUNY's accomplishments and progress over the last two years."
"Following the Trustees' vote in November, the current compensation level for the SUNY Chancellor remains more than $100,000 lower than the compensation for similar public university leaders in California, Maryland and Texas."
