The incoming chancellor of Pennsylvania’s 14 state-owned universities will be paid almost as much as the chief executive he will replace under a contract with the State System of Higher Education.

John C. Cavanaugh will receive a yearly salary of $327,500 under the recently signed agreement — a three-year “rolling” contract that is subject to annual review, system spokesman Kenn Marshall said Monday.

“This salary is probably slightly below the average nationally,” Marshall said. “We do have to have a competitive salary.”

Chancellor Judy Hample is one of the highest-paid state government employees. She is paid $327,718 annually, nearly double Gov. Ed Rendell’s $170,150 salary.
