With the California budget in such a dire state, the money spent on university heads remains a hot issue. Here’s a look at how much public college executives took home in the 2006-07 school year. (Salaries are the average; total compensation includes housing and/or car allowances.) For comparison, Chico State President Paul Zingg’s 2007-08 salary base was $279,500, plus $50,000 for housing and $12,000 for a car allowance.
