Dietze topped Brown President Christina Paxson, who received $1,831,198.
This number does not include Paxson’s free housing at the university-owned mansion on Power Street, which is worth $4 million.
The third highest-paid Brown administrator was Joshua Kennedy, Deputy Chief Investment Officer, who received a compensation package of $1,285,053.
Peter Levine of the investment office scored nearly $1.1 million, for a total package of $1,099,714.
Pay for Performance?
And Brown’s Athletic Director, Grace Calhoun, is paid $1,064,933.
Brown’s sports program has been less than high-performing.
On the men’s side, the top programs — football, soccer, basketball, hockey, lacrosse, and baseball combined — were the worst in the Ivy League. None of the teams had an overall winning record last year.
Women’s soccer has been stellar, but nearly all other major women’s sports — soccer, field hockey, basketball, hockey, lacrosse and softball — finished in the middle of the conference or worse.
Calhoun's $1 million plus package was more than $400,000 more than Providence College's Robert Driscoll's comp and nearly $700,000 higher than the AD at URI, Thorr Bjorn.
Other Million Dollar Administrators
Jack Elias, Brown’s Senior Vice President for Health Affairs, received $1,064,715.
Richard Locke, who left in January, received just under a million for a fraction of the year. The Brown's Provost received $979,393.
