Florida’s 11 university foundations have chipped in tens of thousands of dollars over the past two years to help boost the annual salary of the state university system’s chancellor from $231,750 to $361,725.

The donations, which are called voluntary but are based on the number of students at each university, also have paid for an additional $69,025 in annual benefits for Chancellor Mark Rosenberg. The benefits include a car allowance, travel and a retirement allotment.
