Agreed. A relative of mine has done college presidencies and her main job was to visit wealthy alums and sweet talk them into more donations.
There are actually a lot of small, financially distressed colleges out there that pay their presidents about $120K or $160K, and hope they'll raise more money for the school not to mention attract in more students.
The picture is rather grim these days for many small liberal arts schools. I hope they can pull through but it's like everything else--the small newspapers, the mom-and-pop stores, the small publishers and broadcasters are all being squeezed out by mega chains and online options.
