COLLEGE PRESIDENTS' SALARIES - VERY HIGH AT THE TOP

It may not come as a surprise that presidents of private colleges in the United States are compensated well.  But just how well can make one think twice about a career in higher education.

According to an article in the Chronicle of Higher Education, at the top of the heap sits Shirley Ann Jackson of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, who made 7.14 million dollars in 2012, the most recent year available.

Following Jackson are John L. Lahey of Quinnipiac University at $3.75 million and Lee C. Bollinger of Columbia University at $3.38 million.

Rounding out the top five are Amy Gutmann of the University of Pennsylvania at $2.47 million and Charles R. Middleton of Roosevelt University at $1.76 million.
