OriginalGawker lists the top million dollar college presidents. Here's a new article from the Chronicle on this topic.

We've mocked those jerks before. 
I pointed out that, "The president of American University gets paid $1.4 million. Nearly 1/4 of American's teaching staff is comprised of adjuncts. They pay them $2,000 per semester. That seems fair."

  1. One more flavor of the concentration of economic value at the top of the pyramid (which I think is the growing story of the decade — or maybe the past two). I also think that the trend will break society if we don’t find a way to mitigate it.

  2. I assume Kerrey was hired for government connections/lobbying and is more of an illustration of that problem than university pay.

  3. Seeing old Bob Kerrey keeps reminding me that time waits for no one. I’d still always pictured him as the young governor dating Debra Winger.
