BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) - The state Board of Regents has approved the hiring of the new University of Montana president and Montana State University’s plan to spend $58 million on a 480-bed dormitory.
The regents met Thursday and Friday in Bozeman.
They approved a salary of $313,845 for Seth Bodnar at UM. His salary is the same as MSU President Waded Cruzado and his compensation also includes a residence and vehicle allowance. Cruazdo has a deferred compensation benefit and the office of the Commissioner of Higher Education said that may later be included in Bodnar’s compensation.
