Last week, Baylor also announced new contract terms for its Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Mack B. Rhoades IV and head football coach Matt Rhule.
“These long-term contract extensions reflect the tremendous positive momentum Baylor has experienced over the past two-plus years under our current University leadership,” said Board of Regents Chair Jerry K. Clements . “Dr. Livingstone has energized our faculty, staff, students and alumni with an aspirational vision, as Baylor strives to become a Research 1/Tier 1 university."
Livingstone’s contract includes performance incentives and base salary. Baylor does not disclose the specifics of contracts, as it is a private university.
