Clash of the Titans

Apparently there was a football game in New Haven yesterday. Good thing I decided not to pay the slightest bit of attention…
By the way, speaking of salaries, as some of you have been, the YDN reports that Yale’s Rick Levin is the highest paid president in the Ivy League, with a total salary of $869, 026.
His salary has increased at twice the rate of the salaries of Yale professors, who average $151, 152 …..
Also interesting is the fact that David Swensen, Yale’s investment manager, who has made the university billions of dollars, gets paid a relatively paltry $1.64 million, or a rough 20-25% of what Mohamed El-Erian made in his first year, by my calculations…..

Sounds as if it was a delightful game. Sorry I missed it.

I’d say Levin deserves it. Remember Yale’s financial crisis of only a decade or so ago? Unlike Harvard, Yale is attending to things like housing and food for students, gradually renovating all the undergraduate housing and providing food far superior to what HUDS gives undergraduates. Faust has her work cut out for her on that front.
