College presidents are sometimes leading billion-dollar enterprises, with budgets equal to some of America’s largest corporations, so certainly an argument can be made that their pay might be commensurate with private-sector peers who have significant profit and loss responsibility.  College Parents of America James A. Boyle doesn’t believe that college presidents should take a vow of poverty, but neither should they take a vow of silence.  He encourages all college presidents, public and private, to make their salaries and the entire budget of their universities open for all to see.  He believes that since this transparency is expected of corporate America, it should also be expected of higher education in America.  Please leave a comment below and share your views on the pay of college presidents.
