The state university system’s Board of Governors is scheduled to consider extending the contract of its controversial Chancellor Ray Rodrigues and approving a raise.

Rodrigues, a former state lawmaker, initially received a three-year contract that took effect in November 2022.

The board will consider extending the contract for an additional year, according to a draft contract amendment posted on the board’s website.

Also, Rodrigues’ base salary would increase from $400,000 a year to $420,000.

The board will meet on Wednesday at Florida State University.
