President Degioia makes nearly $1 million a year
But Coach Thompson makes even more
In the latest survey released by the Chronicle of Higher Education, President Degioia received a total compensation of $851,304 in the fiscal year 2013, a significant decline compared to his near $1.3 million pay in 2012.
Still, this near-million-dollar pay secured his position as the second highest paid at Georgetown. The top prize went to (unsurprisingly) Coach Thompson, with a near $3.1 million in total compensation.
The Chronicle survey calculates the total compensation of executives by combining variables such as base pay, bonus pay, nontaxable pay, and other (miscellaneous pay and benefits) to give a dollar figure of executives in private and public institutions.
It then ranks them and creates an interactive feature that allows users to compare the total compensation among similar institutions.
As expected, this list has some well-known names in the top 10, such as Columbia University’s Lee. C. Bollinger, who tops the list with $4.6 million, followed by Penn’s Amy Gutmann with $3 million.
President Degioia ranks 51st on the private institution list, behind top executives at Vanderbilt, NYU, USC, and George Washington, while edging out those from Yale, Brown, and Dartmouth.
Despite a rather “mediocre” ranking performance, President Degioia’s compensation is still more than impressive as it sits at the 90th percentile in the country, and is 210 percent of the median salary of private institution executives.
The survey also includes other data such as the average full-professor salary and institutions expense, which Georgetown ranks at the 98th percentile and 95th percentile respectively.
