Pay will limit chancellor search (AP)

University of Wisconsin-Madison is the No. 1 public school for research spending, top-rated in many academic fields and often a winner in athletics.

But its next leader’s compensation will not be near the top of any chart.

The search for a chancellor to lead Wisconsin’s flagship university could be hindered by a relatively low salary at a time when compensation for higher education leaders is rising, experts say.
