The University of Louisville’s interim president was passed over for the permanent position but has received a $100,000 bonus for his leadership during a tumultuous time for the Kentucky school.
The university’s board of trustees awarded Greg Postel the bonus Thursday (4/19) and installed him as executive vice president for health affairs. He will earn his former salary of $950,000 for at least a year.
Postel had filled in for that role after Dr. David Dunn was put on paid leave in 2015 amid an investigation for spending federal money on a private company. Postel later became interim president, as well, weathering an NCAA investigation and a budget crisis, in addition to other scandals.
Neeli Bendapudi will assume the university’s helm next month.
