To the Editor:

“Big Jump in Million-Dollar Pay Packages Is Seen for Presidents of Private Colleges” (news article, Dec. 11) invites two questions.

How many more scholarships could private colleges afford if they cut back on exorbitant presidential pay packages? And why don’t college presidents who want to be millionaires work on Wall Street instead of in academia?
