"Total compansation" for presidents is a suspect label; does it include the many perks they usually get (free housing, car & driver, etc)?

- jff 11y agoThey explicitly say that it does, in the third paragraph.
- cgearhart 11y agoThe perks can be suspect, too. At my public undergrad, the school provided a house (paid for with student fees) on campus for the president, but when he bought a home in a neighboring town they began paying him a housing stipend retroactively as well as a car and driver. They continued collecting student fees for the on-campus house because - although it was deemed "unfit" for him to live in - they still used it as a venue for him to host alumni events. It reminded me of the racket on public funding for sports stadiums.
