If schools are raising tuition to pay salaries then maybe it is too much. I firmly believe you get what you pay for – to an extent.

Some college presidents definitely work diligently for their schools -- that is very admirable. I'd like to propose, however, that colleges earmark some of those $1 million salaries from endowments toward additional aid packages. It saddens me that so many deserving students can't attend a prestigious university because they can't afford it. -Amanda That’s a great point, Sandra!

For example, Bollinger and Jackson brought in unprecedented donations to their schools. Increased funding has brought in new programs, jobs, and available scholarships. Personally, I think that sometimes you get what you pay for, and sometimes that means high salaries are justified. I suspect that at least some of these leaders are worth every penny.
