Three of the Highest Paid University Executives are Texans

[TexasTowelie]

For college presidents and chancellors, it pays to work in Texas.

The Chronicle of Higher Education on Sunday released its annual list of public university executive pay. Three of the nation's top four highest paid university presidents or chancellors work for Texas schools, according to the report.

University of Houston System Chancellor Renu Khator earned the most in the country, making $1.3 million in total compensation. Texas A&M University President Michael K. Young came in third at $1.13 million and University of Texas System Chancellor Bill McRaven was fourth with $1.09 million.

The only non-Texas leader in the top four was Michael Gottfredson, the former president of the University of Oregon. His $1.2 million pay was unusually high in 2015 due to a reported $940,000 buyout after his abrupt departure in August 2014.

2. Suits me.

Those Texas university executives are in charge of good schools that contribute a lot of positive factors to society---and their salaries are maybe 10% of what each of the Trump kids pull in for spreading their daddy's sick gospel.

3. They are also only a fraction

of what the athletic coaches make (at least at UT and A&M). I only wish that I could a job like those even though there is plenty of headaches that go with them.
