Lessard is the lowest-compensated. Therefore, the list beneath Lessard is not comprehensive.</p> <p class="roman">† MIT Investment Management Company (MITIMCo) employees compensations do not include incentive compensation which “could have increased or decreased depending on the performance of the endowment” and are contingent on continued employment by MIT.</p> <p class="roman">* Four MIT officers served as directors of outside companies and receive substantial fees for doing so. See separate table.</p> <p class="roman">‡ Professors Repenning and Lessard appear because of their participation in the Sloan School of Management’s Executive Education program (see <a href="http://mitsloan.mit.edu/execed" rel="nofollow"><i>http://mitsloan.mit.edu/execed</i></a>). Repenning is faculty director of the BP Operations Academy</p> <p class="roman">§ John S. Reed took over as Chairman of the MIT Corporation from Dana G. Mead in July, 2010. Each served for half of a term, and their compensation reflects that.</p> /V132/N27/graphics/weather.html <p class="roman"><b>Situation for Noon Eastern Time, Friday, June 8, 2012</b></p> /V132/N27/graphics/beavertails-1.html /V132/N27/graphics/eyeshack.html John A.
