Kansas university leaders waive 2 percent pay hike
Kansas Board of Regents granted 2 percent raises to top university executives while several presidents chose to decline or gift the increase. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, Fort Hays State’s Mirta Martin, Pittsburg State’s Steve Scott, Wichita State’s John Bardo, and K State’s Kirk Schulz announced alternatives to accepting the raise. Remaining salaries and planned gifts reflect a mix of forgoing raises and directing funds to scholarships or campus needs.
