Shirley Ann Jackson
(born August 5, 1946)
Since arriving at RPI, Jackson has been one of the highest-paid university presidents in the nation.[18]
Her combined salary and benefits have expanded from $423,150 in
1999–2000 to over $1.3 million in 2006–2007 and to $2.34 million in
2010.[19][20] In 2011 Jackson's salary was $1.75 million.[21]
In 2006–2007, it is estimated she received another $1.3 million from board seats at several major corporations.[19]
The announcement of layoffs at RPI in December 2008 led some in the RPI
community to question whether the institute should continue to
compensate Jackson at this level, maintain a $450,000 Adirondack
residence for her, and continue to support a personal staff of
housekeepers, bodyguards and other aides.[19]
In July 2009, the news reported on the construction of a 10,000-square-foot (930 m2) mountain-top home in Bolton,
New York, overlooking Lake George.
