The University of Nebraska Regents on Wednesday unanimously approved the appointment of Ronnie Green as University of Nebraska-Lincoln chancellor.
Chosen by NU President Hank Bounds over two outside candidates, Green succeeds Harvey Perlman, who is returning to the UNL College of Law.
Green's salary is $464,000. He will not receive an additional housing or vehicle allowance, but he'll get a deferred compensation package equal to 11.5 percent of his annual salary.
Last year, shortly after Perlman announced he'd step down as chancellor, Green was named interim senior vice chancellor for academic affairs, the No. 2 administrator at UNL.
He was recruited to lead UNL’s Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources in 2010 and was vice president in charge of the university’s agriculture efforts within the NU president’s cabinet.
