On the board

RPI president Shirley Ann Jackson made more than $1.3 million last year serving on six different corporate boards of directors, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education. In December, the Chronicle reported Jackson also makes $1.77 million in compensation from RPI -- good for the top 10 among private college presidents. Two years ago Jackson's name surface in a Bloomberg article questioning if college presidents were spreading themselves too thin by serving on corporate boards. [via TU]

Times are tough eh? Need to supplement that income.

Don't forget the most important post she holds. You ain't a real playa unless you are on the CFR.

For someone who is so popular, you'd think she'd be more fun to hang out with. Word is, she ain't.

What a sad case. It's very difficult to find a developer with the resources, vision, and commitment to take on a costly and risky project like St. Joe's. It's a shame that the hidebound conservatism of the neighborhood stymied the first and only realistic, pragmatic, and frankly very cool, project to come along in many years. I hope the church and the neighborhood gets one more shot, although I'm not optimistic.
