[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HOS are CEO/COO of multi-million dollar businesses and in the event of GDS, total assets: over 300,000 million. The responsibility for a HOS is that of a multi-million dollar company. Why doesn't anyone argue that Jeff Bezos makes ..... and he has employees that make $15/hr? Lay off the schools...[/quote]

Schools are small businesses, and need to be well-run to meet their missions. The teachers are only one part of it - someone has to actually lead them. It’s not better or worse, and the market just pays then differently. If you advertised one of these HOS jobs for a $300K salary you likely would get a very different set of candidates (I would guess less experienced) than at market rates. I am not sure I would want my kids’ school to be the ones trying that.

Frankly, you couldn’t pay me enough to deal with the types of tasks HOS have to deal with - particularly grumpy parents and fundraising. University leaders have different problems, so it’s a different skills set, and different market.

I work for a large nonprofit (not direct service) and our CEO makes seven figures - to get good folks at a nonprofit you also need to pay competitive compensation.
