College and university presidents hold some of the loftiest positions in academia, with lofty salaries to match.
While many were previously employed as scholars and professors, in their role as leader of a university they are more akin to a CEO overseeing a company, than they are to academics carrying out scholarly research or lecturing.
A big part of the job often includes networking and fundraising, in addition to setting academic policies and defining the curriculum. In addition to demonstrated leadership, financial and business acumen are often cited as required characteristics of a college president.
Harvard University president Claudine Gay, who announced her resignation after her controversial testimony at a Capitol Hill hearing on antisemitism on college campuses, and amid allegations of plagiarism, will continue to serve as a member of the university's faculty.

Prior to serving as university president, Gay earned a nearly $880,000 salary in her last year as Dean of Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences, a position she held from 2018 to 2021, according to the Harvard Crimson.
It's unclear how much Gay will earn in her downsized role at Harvard, or how much she'll be compensated for her six months in the role of president.
Gay's predecessor, Harvard University President Lawrence S. Bacow, earned more than $1.3 million in 2021, according to the student newspaper.
How much do other college presidents earn?
The most selective schools in the U.S. don't necessarily pay their presidents the most. The president of Thomas Jefferson University is the highest earning private college president in the country, making a total of more than $8.4 million in 2020, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education. Both his base pay and total compensation exceed that of other private college presidents.
The outlet compiled the list based on the Internal Revenue Service's Form 990 for tax-exempt organizations. A university president's total compensation reflects their base pay from the institution, bonus pay, health and other benefits, as well as any other compensation, which can include housing expenses, club dues and more.
With an acceptance rate of 87%, Thomas Jefferson University is ranked 142 in the "National Universities" category by U.S. News and World Report.
By contrast, Christopher Eisgruber, president of the No. 1 ranked Princeton University, makes just over $1 million a year.
These were the top-earning private college presidents in 2020, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education:
Steven Klasko, Thomas Jefferson University, $8.4 millionCharles Monahan Jr., Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences University (MCPHS), $4.5 million, Shirley Ann Jackson, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, $4.2 million, Steven Kaplan, University of New Haven, $3.7 million, Jerry Falwell Jr., Liberty University, $3.5 million
Amy Gutmann, President of the University of Pennsylvania, was the highest paid president of an Ivy League school, earning $2.6 million annually.
In 2022, the top-earning public college presidents included:
Tedd L. Mitchell, Texas Tech University System, $2.5 million, Eric J. Barron, Pennsylvania State University, $2 million, Joyce Ellen McConnell, Colorado State University $2 million, Renu Khator, University of Houston, $1.7 million, Harlan M. Sands, Cleveland State University, $1.4 million
Not all college presidencies are as lucrative. Nationwide, university presidents earn an average of $186,961 annually, according to ZipRecruiter, an online employment marketplace. Other university president roles advertise pay as low as $32,274, according to the site.
Alan Garber will replace Gay as Harvard's interim replacement, while the institution searches for a permanent leader. Other, less prestigious colleges and universities are also conducting searches for new presidents.
On the online job board Indeed, Marwood University, a private Catholic university in Scranton, Pennsylvania, is recruiting a president, indicating that the job's pay starts at $325,000 a year.
"The thirteenth President will be strategic in planning, innovative in thinking, and transformational in defining future enterprises," the posting reads.
中文译文，仅供参考!梅根?塞如洛《高等院校的院长和大学校长能挣多少钱?》。载于2024年1月4日《哥伦比亚广播公司新闻》。最近，美国多所知名大学因学生反对以色列杀伤大量巴勒斯坦无辜平民而卷入政治漩涡，不少犹太富豪借口大学管理不当停止对大学捐款，并要求大学校长及董事会成员辞职，迫使上任不到半年的哈佛大学首任黑人女校长克劳丁?盖伊等被迫辞职，使这些极具威望的学术和管理精英薪酬水平引发舆论关注。
虽然许多大学校长都曾是各行业知名的学者和教授，但作为一所大学的领导者，他们更像是监管一家公司的首席执行官，而不再完全是从事学术研究或授课的学者。
除了制定学术政策和定义课程外，校长工作的重要内容通常包括建立政治、商业和学术网络并筹款。因而，除了领导力外，财务和商业头脑也是大学校长必备的品质。
哈佛大学校长盖伊虽然被迫辞职，但将继续担任哈佛大学的教职员工。据《哈佛深红报》报道，在担任哈佛大学校长之前，盖伊担任哈佛文理学院院长最后一年的收入近88万美元，她从2018年到2021年一直担任该职位。据学生报纸报道，盖伊的前任劳伦斯?S?巴科校长2021年的收入超过130万美元。
实际上，美国最受欢迎的学校并不一定给校长支付最高的薪水。校长的总薪酬包括他们从学校获得的基本工资、奖金、健康保险和其他福利，以及住房费、俱乐部会费等补贴。
据《高等教育纪事报》报道，托马斯?杰斐逊大学校长是美国收入最高的私立大学校长，2020年的总收入超过840万美元。他的基本工资和总薪酬均超过了其他私立大学校长。托马斯?杰斐逊大学以87%的录取率在《美国新闻与世界报道》的“国立大学”类别中排名第142位。相比之下，排名第一的普林斯顿大学校长克里斯托弗?艾斯格鲁的年收入仅略高于100万美元。
以下是美国国税局针对免税组织的990表格揭示的大学校长薪酬情况。
托马斯?杰斐逊大学史蒂文?克拉斯科，840万美元；马萨诸塞州药学院和健康科学大学小查尔斯?莫纳汉，450万美元；伦斯勒理工学院雪莉?安?杰克逊，420万美元；纽黑文大学史蒂文?卡普兰，370万美元；自由大学小杰里?福尔韦尔，350万美元；宾夕法尼亚大学校长艾米?古特曼是常春藤盟校中收入最高的校长，年薪为260万美元。
2022年，收入最高的公立大学校长为得克萨斯理工大学泰德?米切尔的250万美元，宾夕法尼亚州立大学埃里克?j?巴伦的200万美元，科罗拉多大学乔伊斯?艾伦?麦康奈尔的200万美元，休斯顿大学雷努?卡托尔170万美元，克利夫兰大学哈伦?M?桑兹的140万美元。
但并非所有大学校长都能赚大钱。比如，目前正在在线招聘的宾夕法尼亚州斯克兰顿私立天主教大学马伍德大学列出的校长起薪为每年32.5万美元。招聘广告要求新的“第十三任校长需在规划上具有战略性，在思维上具有创新性，在定义未来大学上具有变革性。”
根据在线就业市场ZipRecruiter的数据，全美大学校长的平均年薪为186,961美，个别大学校长职位的招聘广告所列出的工资甚至仅有32,274美元，估计针对的是那些不差钱但却希望在履历上增加大学校长头衔的知名人士。
总体看，虽然与美国总统的年薪40万美元，副总统和最高法院法官及联邦议员的年薪约20万美元相比大学校长的薪酬并不算低，但与知名公司高管成百上千甚至上亿美国的年薪相比仍相差甚远。
