I would say it is very much deserved, especially seeing all she’s accomplished in her tenure.
University of Houston Chancellor and President Renu Khator earned more than any other public university executive in the nation in 2023, according to a data analysis by the Chronicle of Higher Education.
Khator’s compensation totaled $1,901,444 last year. She made $1,349,780 in base pay while the remainder was earned in bonus pay, other pay and benefits. The next-highest paid individuals across the country were administrators at the University of Kentucky, University of Delaware, University of Nebraska system office, and Texas State University System Chancellor Brian McCall.
