I have no specific opinion on the salaries listed here. But I will say that it IS absurd how many people become rich working for/ at/ with or running "not for profit" institutions. A lot of staff in or related to the arts, public broadcasting, colleges, charities, etc make a great deal of money. I don't think it's right for an institution to be treated as "non-profit" when some people can get super rich doing that. I am not arguing that everyone (or even most) of the staff at such places are way over paid. Merely, it is hard for me to justify an institution having tax-exempt status when their CEOs, college presidents, head coaches, etc make 7 figures. Or Children's Television Workshop being non-profit while seeing all the branded toys and media they sell (or sold by others with CTW getting a percentage). It makes me angry. Especially the college salaries.

The President at the non-profit college where I teach has a yearly compensation package that is roughly 100 times what I get paid for teaching one theater class as an adjunct (and I don't get benefits or even a guaranteed contract). And her compensation package was cut in half from the previous President!

But hey, ten more years and my student loans for theater grad school go away, so that's nice.
