The University of Hawai'i Board of Regents yesterday approved a 5.5 percent pay increase for system president David McClain, bringing his total annual salary to $414,096.
The regents also approved a 3.7 percent pay increase for University of Hawai'i-Manoa Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw, making her annual salary $363,024.
The salary increases were based on annual performance reviews conducted of the various higher education officials.
Regents met yesterday in a closed-door executive session during their monthly meeting at Leeward Community College to discuss the salary adjustments of various administrators.
Regents voted 10-0 to approve the proposed salary increases.
Various other chancellors in the 10-campus university system also received raises:
UH administrators receive job reviews annually and their raises are tied to their reviews. Officials were given a $6,000 increase for ratings of fully satisfactory, superior or outstanding. Those rated as superior received an additional 2 percent increase; those rated as outstanding received an additional 4 percent.
Earlier this month, the regents completed an annual review of McClain's job performance and ranked it as "outstanding," the highest category in the university's evaluation system.
