Best case - she preemptively rejected any raises (bad optics when fees go up)
Worst case - wasn't considered for a raise because ??? something bad ???

I haven't seen any reason given anywhere, so I'm leaning more towards the best case reason.

"The regents met in closed session on June 13 to evaluate the leadership at Iowa’s public institutions. On June 14, it approved pay raises for all three university presidents.

UI President Barbara Wilson will receive a $50,000 raise annually for the next five years as well as a deferred compensation plan to increase the principal value by 25%. Wilson’s contract was extended until 2028 from its original 2026 termination date.

ISU President Wendy Wintersteen received a new deferred compensation plan with annual contributions of $415,000 until 2025. The regents also established a new employment agreement with Wintersteen beginning in July and ending in 2026.

She did get a contract extension, so that kinda blows the "??? something bad ???" scenario.

I've heard nothing about her being on thin ice or not deserving of a raise. She's done a good job so far.
