The 42-page annual report of salaries paid to executive, managerial and faculty members shows UH-Hilo Chancellor Kenneth L. Perrin is paid $112,000, Community Colleges Vice President Joyce S. Tsunoda makes $117,552 and UH Senior Vice President Carol Eastman earns $120,000.
Dean O. Smith, vice president for research and dean of the graduate division, is paid $111,000 annually, while Eugene Imai, senior vice president for administration, gets $102,132. Doris Ching, vice president for student affairs, makes $111,612 a year.
The highest paid UH employee is Brian F. Issell, who takes in $181,536 a year as director of the Cancer Research Center of Hawaii. Next is Cecil B. Raleigh, dean of the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, at $175,956, followed by retiring medical school dean Christian L. Gulbrandsen, at $170,460.
Fourth is Mortimer with a $156,060 salary. He is followed by astronomy director Donald N.B. Hall, whose annual pay is $131,796.
Issell yesterday said his status as the UH's top wage earner is irrelevant, that the research opportunities Hawaii offers make it worth coming here. And only with top dollar will the state get top research, he said.
"You get what you pay for," Issell said.
"If you want to be at the national level of excellence, which we aspire to at the University of Hawaii, you've got to pay people the right salaries," he said.
Other salaries listed include: athletic director Hugh Yoshida, $94,860; planning and policy Vice President Colleen Sathre, $99,264; Board of Regents secretary Daniel Ishii, $84,000, and Jim Manke, interim vice president for university relations, $80,325.
Manke said the regents set the pay scale for executives and managers, while compensation for faculty is determined thorough collective bargaining.
The faculty union is at an impasse with the state over a new contract; results of a strike authorization vote are expected to be announced Friday.
Of the university's 3,300 faculty members, 61 earn more than $100,000 a year, with half of those people coming from the medical school. The rest are for college deans, researchers and others systemwide.
Meanwhile, Mortimer moves up to second place when it comes to the pay of leading Hawaii universities.
Internal Revenue Service figures compiled recently by the Chronicle for Higher Education show Hawaii Pacific University President Chatt G. Wright earned $165,000 in salary in 1994-95, while Chaminade University of Honolulu President Kent M. Keith, who retired in June 1995, earned $110,892 in the same period.
Compensation for Brigham Young University-Hawaii President Eric B. Shumway was not included in the survey because the school claimed a religious exemption in submitting the form to the IRS.
Here are the 12 highest annual salaries of University of Hawaii employees:
Brian F. Issell, director, Cancer Research Center of Hawaii, $181,346.
