Vanderbilt Chancellor Nicholas S. Zeppos was paid more than $4 million in 2016, the same year his responsibilities were reduced because of the university’s split with Vanderbilt University Medical Center. In 2016, Zeppos was credited with $4.3 million in total compensation, including a $2.9 million bonus, according to Vanderbilt tax returns provided in response to a request from the USA TODAY NETWORK. Zeppos’ total pay in 2016 was comparable to the highest-paid presidents of private universities in the country in recent years. https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/2018/05/29/vanderbilt-university-chancellor-nicholas-zeppos-salary-bonus-vandy/620355002/
