Utah State Hospital top Salaries and benefits between $273,000 and $480,000


Nine of Utah’s 10 highest state salaries, outside academia, are earned by psychiatrists at the Utah State Hospital for the mentally ill. Salt Lake Tribune

The 10 highest salaries are at the University of Utah with the football coach Kyle Whittingham being the highest at $1.5 million.  Only one woman is included in the 10 highest salaries at the University of Utah.

How do salaries at other Universities in Utah, especially UVU compare with the University of Utah salaries?

Salary and benefits by the numbers
Some community members criticize the high pay of psychiatrists at Utah State Hospital, but many other state employees earn as much or more:
University of Utah football coach Kyle Whittingham » $1.5 million
University of Utah orthopedics professor John T. Smith » $1 million
University of Utah chief of the Division of Otolaryngology Clough Shelton » $1 million


Utah State Hospital clinical director and psychiatrist Richard Spencer » $480,869

 The Salt Lake Tribune and UtahsRight.com provides information on the gross compensation of public officials at all levels of government and other agencies that use taxpayers’ money.

Gross compensation is the combined total of the employee’s wages, benefits, bonuses and reimbursements. A breakdown of the employee’s compensation can be found by clicking on that person’s name.
