Steven Angle will make more than $300,000 annually if he is named the next chancellor of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

The University of Tennessee board’s executive and compensation committee unanimously approved Angle’s potential salary during a meeting Thursday morning. Should he be approved by the board of trustees, Angle will get $291,000 per year in base salary, plus $7,000 per year for job-related expenses and a $20,000-a-year housing allowance.

The University of Chattanooga Foundation owns a house that past chancellors lived in, but officials plan to sell that house. The additional payment to Angle acknowledges that hosting people is part of a chancellor’s job.

Roger Brown, UTC’s former chancellor, made $225,495 per year in base salary but didn’t need a house.

Angle is a senior vice president and chemistry professor at Wright State in Dayton, Ohio.
