The Chronicle of Higher Education examines the 2012 IRS forms for private colleges and finds that 36 presidents make more than $1 million a year and the average presidential pay is nearly $400,000. You can see the list here.

At the top is Shirley Ann Jackson of Rensselaer Polytech at $7.1 million; others in the Top Ten include, among others, Lee Bollinger of Columbia, at just under $3.4 million and David W. Leebron at Rice, at $1.5 million. Drew Faust of Harvard earns just under a million, as does Shirley Tilghman of Princeton, but Yale president Richard Levin just makes it as no. 10, with compensation of just under $1.4 million.
