Higher education in Nevada can come with some pretty high salaries.

University salary data shows that more than a quarter of UNLV staff made more than $100,000 in 2022 and that was before benefits were included in the calculation.

Former head football coach Marcus Arroyo was paid the most — $1.5 million a year — before he was fired in November 2022, the payroll records show.

Here are the five other top-paid employees at UNLV:

Dr. Michael Scheidler, the chief of pediatric surgery at the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine, received a salary of nearly $865,000.

Dr. Buddhadeb Dawn, professor and chairman of the internal medicine department at the medical school, was paid $765,542.

— Men’s Basketball Head Coach Kevin Kruger’s salary was $750,000.

Dr. Robert Wang, professor and chairman of the otolaryngology department for head and neck surgery, was paid nearly $701,000.

Dr. Marc Kahn, dean of the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine and vice president for health affairs, received a total salary of $656,000.

The university’s most recent salary data is from 2022. Although UNLV has not released last year’s pay data, news reports show football coach Barry Odom is making $1.75 million a year starting in 2023.
