Ex-Gov. Sandoval appointed by regents as next UNR president

September 18, 2020 by Noticiero Movil

The Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents took the unusual step of appointing a former politician to lead UNR on Thursday, unanimously naming ex-Gov. Brian Sandoval as the university’s 17th president and marking a formal end to the months-long search to replace outgoing President Marc Johnson. 

In doing so, regents also approved a $500,000 base salary — roughly on-par with the contract approved earlier this year for newly appointed UNLV President Keith Whitfield and slightly more than that for new system Chancellor Melody Rose. Sandoval’s contract also stipulates $8,000 for a car allowance, $18,000 for a housing allowance and a $5,000 host account, all per fiscal year.

“We’re going to go through some difficult times, but I do believe that the future is bright,” Sandoval said, addressing regents after the vote.
