"The number of college and university presidents taking home eye-popping paychecks continues to climb – even as more and more students have trouble paying their tuition bills."

"Fifty-nine presidents of public universities reeled in more than $500,000 in salary and benefits during the 2007-08 academic year, more than double the number who broke the half-million mark three years earlier, according to a survey by the Chronicle of Higher Education released on Monday. "

Go Boe! Is he still at Syracuse?

Well, now that explains a lot to me, Stoney. There sits Chancellor Nancy Cantor making $550,000 (I just looked it up) and she asks, "Who's that foul-mouth guy downstairs and why is he making twice as much as me just to find kids who can lob a big rubber ball through that round thing-a-ma-jiggie?"
No wonder college presidents want to be paid so much.
