Incoming University of Hawaii athletic director David Matlin will be paid $290,016 per year for five years, plus bonuses, and has the possibility of a post-AD position in the school’s Shidler College of Business, according to terms of his pending contract.

In addition, he may receive a "club membership" if the fees and dues are "covered by the University of Hawaii Foundation, ‘Ahahui Koa Anuenue or other non-University of Hawaii organizations."

The items are contained in a letter of employment scheduled to go before the UH Board of Regents for approval Thursday. If approved, Matlin will take over at UH on April 27.

A copy of the terms was obtained Friday by the Honolulu Star-Advertiser under the state’s open records law.

The agreement says Matlin’s initial appointment is for five years and subject to "satisfactory annual performance each year." Termination "will be for failure to earn satisfactory or better evaluation or for cause."

Termination compensation is three months salary during first two years of employment and six months thereafter.

Matlin, who earned an MBA in 1997 at UH, where he received the Lum Yip Kee Award as most outstanding MBA student, "has the possibility for a post-AD position" at Shidler. The agreement said it "may be discussed at a later date, but, in any case, compliance with state and federal laws, collective bargaining agreements and UH policies and procedures will be adhered to."

Under terms of the bonus schedule, Matlin may receive up to $60,000 in bonuses his fourth and fifth years of the agreement, up from $25,000-$40,000 in earlier years. Bonuses are to be based upon academic and athletic performance by athletes and teams and the department’s financial growth.

The agreement provides for Matlin’s wife to accompany him on "up to eight events annually associated with official UH Manoa Athletic event/appearances at university expense, subject to Chancellor’s approval."
