Three dozen college presidents at private colleges and universities made more than a $1 million dollars in 2012, with the highest earner bringing home $7.1 million in compensation, according to a survey of the 500 private schools with the largest endowments. The highest earner was Shirley Ann Jackson at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.  Her compensation included a pay out of nearly $5.9 million that had been set aside over a decade as a retention incentive, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education's report released Sunday.
