LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The University of Nebraska Board of Regents will consider a salary increase for the university system’s president to $510,400 this school year.

6.3 percent salary increase for Hank Bounds is recommended by the Board of Regents’ executive committee. The full board meets Sept. 16 on the UNL campus.

Bounds was hired early last year as president of the University of Nebraska — which oversees campuses in Lincoln, Omaha and Kearney, as well as the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture in Curtis. In December, the regents extended his contract through 2020.

Bounds also receives $20,000 a year in private funds from the University of Nebraska Foundation, along with perks that include a home, the use of a vehicle and a country club membership.
