The Maine Monitor has compiled the most recent data on compensation at Maine’s private colleges and universities, finding that Colby College president David Greene was paid more than $2 million in fiscal year 2023.

The data is based on 990s from fiscal year 2023 examined through the ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer, and includes the top three earners at each school.

Compensation figures include base compensation, bonus and incentive compensation and other reportable compensation; non-taxable benefits are not included.
