I work in administration at a regional public university. What you said does definitely happen, but it's not the case everywhere.

The highest-paid person we have is the president and they make a little over $200k a year. All admin just too a 20% pay cut and faculty haven't been furloughed at all yet.

That makes your school an outlier.

You have to go down 502 schools on this list before you run into a leader that makes less than 200k/year.

You seem to be looking at private schools which are going to pay higher, I’m talking about public.

Also that dataset is not at all representative. In fact, it seems to skew high. Of the 9 big schools in my state, only 2 are listed and they are the 2 biggest. The biggest, wealthiest schools have higher paid executives. Of all the public schools in the country mine is probably a little below the median.

Yeah, hope this is clear that this is not happening everywhere. However, where it’s happening it should be exposed.
