It's worse than that for Shirley Jackson. as of 2015 her monetary compensation was:

  $945,000 in salary
  $276,474 in bonuses
  $31,874 in nontaxable benefits
  $5.8 million in deferred compensation

plus a 19,500sq.ft. mansion. :|

p.s. hope you enjoy troy :)

A 2015 Time Magazine article cited Jackson as the highest-paid college president ... for a stunning $7.1 million in total. That works out to more than $1,000 per student at her school".

That's pretty ridiculous considering that RPI's endowment isn't that big, so it's not like she could justify from fundraising.
