    College Student Debt Soars; College Presidents' Pay Skyrockets

    Presidents of U.S. colleges and universities fundraise with donors, preside over graduation ceremonies and provide his or her university with long-range strategic vision. They are also paid handsomely for their work. Forty-two private college presidents earned more than $1 million in 2011, according to a new analysis by the Chronicle of Higher Education. The median total compensation for a college president in 2011 was $410,523, up 3.2% from 2010. Of the 550 presidents’ salaries that were included in the analysis, 180 took home more than $500,000 in 2001 compared to 50 in 2004.

    The 10 highest paid college presidents in 2011 were:

    Robert Zimmer, University of Chicago ($3.358 million)
    Joseph Auon, Northeastern University ($3.121 million)
    Dennis Murray, Marist College ($2.688 million)
    Lee Bollinger, Columbia University ($2.327 million)
    Lawrence Bacow, Tufts University ($2.223 million)
    Amy Gutmann, University of Pennsylvania ($2.091 million)
    Anthony Catanese, Florida Institute of Technology ($1.884 million)
    Esther Barazonne, Chatham University ($1.812 million)
