Her contract now runs through June 2025. Pescovitz receives an annual salary of $483,170, but she took a voluntary 20 percent pay reduction due to COVID-19. She lives at the on-campus presidential house, Sunset Terrace, and also receives a monthly car allowance. “My time as president at Oakland has been one of the greatest privileges of my life,” says Pescovitz. “I am humbled by the endorsement from the board of trustees, and I am excited about the promise of a university with limitless potential. I look forward to working closely with our faculty, students, and staff to find innovative ways to make sure Oakland evolves continually as a vibrant and thriving higher education community.”
