Question: Who at the UA earns the most money?
Answer: That would be UA football head coach John Mackovic, who gets paid a whopping $801,450 a year. Lute Olson, his men's basketball counterpart, makes a measly $627,195.
Another major bread winner is Jack Copeland, associate director of Sarver Heart Center and professor of surgery, who makes $536, 446 a year.
UA President Peter Likins earns $285,000 a year in base salary, but earns benefits that take his total compensation up to around $500,000. However, he gives $25,000 a year back to the UA.
Here are some more random salaries, just in case you're wondering:
Dick Roberts, Budget Director: $126,589
Greg Fahey, UA lobbyist: $121,960
George Davis, executive vice president and provost: $225,000
Andrew Weil, Public Health professor: $80,725, but works at the UA only half-time
Ed Donnerstein, dean of College of Social and Behavioral Sciences: $175,000
Saundra Taylor, vice president for campus life: $171,000
Patti Ota, vice president for enrollment management: $152,000
Okay, I think I've had enough fun with numbers. I hope my answer satisfies your curiosity!
