Alex FriedrichIn light of the recent news of the compensation of University of Minnesota President-Designate Eric Kaler, I thought I’d pull up some data on the compensation of some Minnesota private-college presidents.
The source of the data, the Chronicle of Higher Education, lists more than a dozen, and I’ve sorted them from highest to lowest. Some colleges list two presidents. You can click on their names for details.
