On May 26, the contract for President-elect Mary Jane Saunders was unanimously approved by the Board of Trustees (BOT), FAU’s highest-ranking decision-makers.
The 19-page document establishes the $345,000 salary as well as the bonus and perks that Saunders will earn as FAU’s sixth president.
It also states that Saunders — who served previously as the provost of Cleveland State University in Ohio, according to an FAU press release — will officially take over the position on June 7 and that her term will last five years. According to BOT Chair Nancy Blosser, Saunders expects to move from Ohio to Boca one week before taking office.
