Abstract	Outrage over salaries for university executives is nothing new. Even presidents of often ignored regional public institutions are feeling public scorn these days. A September editorial in the "Gloucester County Times," a New Jersey newspaper, criticized bonuses received by two local university presidents. One of the leaders, Donald J. Farish, president of Rowan University, had turned down a $15,000 bonus that the governing board had approved. He accepted a $15,000 raise that put his salary at $300,000 for 2008-2009. This article reports that in spite of appearances, presidents at public master's-degree universities tend to earn quite a bit less than leaders of many private colleges and public research institutions. Median compensation for chief executives at doctoral institutions was $365,190 for 2007-2008, according to the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources, which includes both public and private universities. For master's-degree-institutions, it was $226,000. (ERIC).
