He studied psychology, earning his bachelor's degree from the University of Delaware and master's and doctoral degrees from the University of Notre Dame. Before joining [[UWF]], Cavanaugh "held faculty and administrative positions at [[Wikipedia:Bowling Green State University|Bowling Green State University]], the [[Wikipedia:Medical College of Ohio|Medical College of Ohio]], the [[Wikipedia:University of Delaware|University of Delaware]] and the [[Wikipedia:University of North Carolina at Wilmington|University of North Carolina at Wilmington]], and was a visiting professor at the [[Wikipedia:Georgia Institute of Technology|Georgia Institute of Technology]]."<ref>[http://uwf.edu/president/bio.cfm UWF.edu - President's Bio]</ref>
*A $250,000 "retention bonus" at the end of the five-year contract.
He also receives other benefits, including cost-free residence at the [[Clara Barkley Dorr House]] and an annual $14,000 car allowance. Because the Florida legislature caps salaries of state university presidents at $225,000, the additions will be paid by the [[UWF Foundation]]. The contract was announced as the University is enacting an enrollment freeze and other cost-saving measures following a veto by Governor [[Wikipedia:Charlie Crist|Charlie Crist]] disallowing state universities to raise their tuition rates.
On [[May 12]], [[2008]], the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education’s board of governors selected Cavanaugh to serve as chancellor for the system's 14 universities.<ref>"Cavanaugh leaving UWF." ''Pensacola News Journal'', May 12, 2008.</ref>
