<blockquote>College presidents on average earn $377,261 annually, or more than twice the average pay for CEOs, who take home about $176,840 on average each year, according to <a href="https://www.clevelandfed.org/newsroom-and-events/publications/economic-trends/2016-economic-trends/et-20160224-salaries-of-private-college-presidents.aspx" target="_blank">new research from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland</a>.

At the same time, American students face ever-increasing tuition bills, with the growth in college costs for years dwarfing the rate of inflation. The question of why college now costs so much more than it did a few decades ago prompted the economists to ask if the cause could be the high pay taken home by college presidents.</blockquote>
