There's a big difference between rank and file administrators and upper-level administrators. Most people do not make this distinction when discussing how overpaid administrators are.
Many of Columbia's executives, for instance, used to come from the for-profit sector (one of them even used to work in for-profit higher ed as general counsel for Kaplan University). These executives have different expectations about compensation than career higher ed administrators.
