“Highest-Paid
Presidents Face Backlash, Study Finds”
“When defending
compensation of $1-million and more for college presidents, trustees and
university officials often repeat a simple refrain: Attracting the best talent
costs money.
“In 2011 the 10
highest-paid private-college presidents cost their institutions an average of
about $2.3-million each. Some trustees would say that's a bargain compared with
the amount a high-caliber president can bring in through fund raising. But the
actual cost to a university of having one of the highest-paid presidents in the
country may be more than just salary and benefits, according to a new working
paper.”
“Institutions whose presidents appear in The
Chronicle's top-10 list of highest-paid private-college executives receive
between $2.8-million and $4.5-million less in donations the following year than
their peers whose presidents are outside the top 10, according to the paper.”
