"However, while the resources available to the US top private institutions can mean that they dominate the upper echelons of university and college rankings, the best public universities in the US should not be overlooked. Most public universities in the US are state universities, operated by the state government, and are often grouped into “systems”.

Every US state is required to have at least one public university, although some of the larger states may have many public universities. Such institutions will often offer discounted tuition for in-state students.

Columbia University president Lee C. Bollinger made $US3,389,917 in 2012, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute president Shirley Ann Jackson — made more than $US7 million that year.

Recently:
Lee C. Bollinger (Columbia University) — $US3,389,917
Amy Gutmann (University of Pennsylvania) — $US2,473,952
Richard C. Levin (Yale University) — $US1,375,365."
