According to new data released by the Chronicle of Higher Education, 66 college presidents made more than $1M in 2015, a record number which included 59 private institution chiefs and seven from public schools. In most cases, the base pay accounted for less than half of the total compensation, and bonuses and other nontaxable income made up the difference. Six of the 66 received one-time severance or deferred-compensation payouts.
