PRESIDENTIAL PAYOFF
WASHINGTON [AP) - l! pays to go to college, especially if you’re the presi
dent of the institution. A survey of 190 leading colleges and universities finds
that most presidents make more than $155,000 a year in pay and benefits
The survey released Sunday by The Chronicle of Higher Education showed
that Bosion University President John Silber topped the list, receiving
$414,715 in 1991-92 in salary bonuses, deferred income and benefits
In salary alone, Vanderbilt University President Joe B Wyatt was the 1991
1992 leatfer at $395,725 compared to $275,000 for Silber The trade paper
reported that Wyatt's total compensation last year was $410,916
The income or the presidents at some private colleges has become increas
ingly controversial, because of spiraling tuition costs and little or no pay hikes
for professors
