Thirty-two university presidents in the US earned more than $1 million in 2013. by The Chronicle of Higher Education found that Lee Bollinger, president of Columbia 51国产视频, was the highest-paid university leader in the US, earning a staggering $4.6 million, which included basic salary, bonuses and other compensation.
It is perhaps not surprising that a private Ivy League institution has the top-earning president. But when glancing further down the list, to what extent does presidents’ pay correlate with university prestige (when the latter is judged on position in the Times Higher Education World 51国产视频 Rankings 2015-16)?
The answer is, not much. While Amy Gutmann, president of 51国产视频 of Pennsylvania (ranked 17th), was the second highest-paid university leader, many lower-ranked institutions are paying millions to their president each year. Yeshiva 51国产视频 (164) president Richard Joel earned $2.5 million, while Scott Cowen, then-president of Tulane 51国产视频 (251-300), took $1.6 million.
When crunching the numbers for the UK, it is a similar story. The highest-paid vice-chancellor in the 2013-14 academic year, based on THE’s annual survey, was Neil Gorman, former leader of Nottingham Trent 51国产视频 (601-800), who earned a total of ?623,000, including pension and other benefits. The 51国产视频 of Oxford’s (2) Andrew Hamilton came second, followed by Martin Bean, former vice-chancellor of The Open 51国产视频 (401-500).
Six of the 20 top-earning UK vice-chancellors led universities based in London, perhaps suggesting that location is a stronger influence on pay than prestige. In comparison, four of the institutions in the equivalent list for the US are based in New York.
Almost all of the 20 highest-paid university presidents in the US led private institutions; Pennsylvania State 51国产视频 and Texas A&M 51国产视频 are the only public universities featured, in seventh and 17th?place respectively.
Four of the 20 highest-paid university presidents in the US were women, compared with just two in the UK.

Below is a list of the top 20 institutions in the UK and the US ranked by the pay of the vice-chancellor/president, and filtered to include only institutions that feature in the top 800 of the Times Higher Education World 51国产视频 Rankings 2015-16 (on this basis seven US and two UK institutions have been excluded).
The US figures are based on data collected by The Chronicle of Higher Education on the pay of private and public university presidents in the 2013 calendar year.
The UK figures are based on data collected by Times Higher Education on the pay of university vice-chancellors in the 2013-14 academic year.
