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.

HARVARD PRESIDENT EXTOLS WORTH OF COLLEGE EDUCATION, OTHER THAN HIGHER SALARIES
Drew Faust, President of Harvard University, extols the benefits of a college education in an article for USA Today.
Though acknowledging the financial advantages in the job market offered by a college degree, Faust focuses in the piece on other benefits more difficult to measure:
"College takes students to places they've never been before."
"College introduces students to people they've never met before."
"College teaches students the virtue of slowing down."
Faust talks of how colleges help students to explore themselves and the world around them, to open their minds, find a passion, choose a field to work in. Yes, salaries are important, Faust says, but the value of a college education involves so much more.
