Fresno State President Saúl Jiménez-Sandoval will have more money to spend on Christmas presents this year with the 10% bump to his base salary that California State University trustees approved last month.

Jiménez-Sandoval’s annual base salary will climb from $476,015 to $523,617, making him the fifth-highest paid CSU president among the 18 who are not interim or acting presidents.

But that’s not all — Jiménez-Sandoval also will be eligible for a new category of pay, “at-risk performance pay,” that could boost his pay by another 10%.

Money for at-risk performance pay won’t come from the state general fund or student tuition or fees, but instead they will be derived from philanthropic sources accumulated through the CSU Chancellor’s Office.
