UC chancellors get big raises, putting them between $785,000 and nearly $1.2 million The UC regents approved pay raises for seven chancellors at their September meeting. At UC Irvine, above, the chancellor will earn $895,000 a year, effective this month. University of California chancellors will get big salary boosts -- near or exceeding 30% in most cases -- as the Board of Regents agreed Thursday that higher pay was needed to bring leaders of the nation's top public university system closer to what their peers earn. The increases, which will be paid through private sources rather than tuition dollars or state funding, are effective this month and will vary by campus.
