Notes
* Tuition began to outpace inflation in the early 1980's, at precisely the moment when changes in the patent system enabled the universities to become major vendors of patent licenses. According to data compiled by the National Center for Educational Statistics, between 1976 and 1994 expenditures on research increased 21.7% at public research universities while expenditure on instruction decreased 9.5%. Faculty salaries, which had peaked in 1972, fell precipitously during the next decade and have since recovered only half the loss.

The earnings of many top university presidents are
spiraling up toward $1 million a year, according to an
annual survey by The Chronicle of Higher Education, rising
far more quickly than faculty salaries.

Forty-two presidents of private universities were paid
$500,000 or more in the 2003 fiscal year, the most recent
for which figures are available, compared with 27
presidents the previous year. Just two earned half a
million in 1994.

The highest-paid private university president, William R.
Brody of Johns Hopkins University, earned $897,786 in
university compensation, not counting at least $100,000 in
annual pay for membership on several corporate boards. At
least five other university presidents earned more than
$800,000, including Judith Rodin, who has since left the
presidency of the University of Pennsylvania, and Gordon
Gee, the chancellor of Vanderbilt. They received the
second- and third-highest compensation packages.
