''
Of that 52k, less than 1,000 of them make more than $200k/yr. That's less than 2% of all faculty and employees.''
That's 1000 to many!
''About another 3500 make between 100k and 200k. That means that less than 10% of all university faculty and employees make more than 100k.''
Very few should make 100k, I don't think you get it, kids can't pay the amount of money back with the jobs they will get when they are done with college. One thing I hate doing is educating a teacher using common sense. Get some uneducated smuck like me to do the paper work for all those grants, fire the ones that are way over paid. Send the kids out early to doctors offices, law offices or whatever field they choose to learn what they really need to know, college is massive scam now. Still love me some Canes football though, lol.

They can't afford to pay it back because the jobs don't pay enough, that means the education is not worth what they are charging, higher paid teachers and the rest of the scammers need to take big cuts. That effects the whole economy down the road, if they have bad credit they cant buy that teachers big house when they want to downsize, ect.
Oh. and fast, here's another thing.
Look at that database of salaries you posted. There are over 52k records there, 52k faculty members university employees listed there.
Of that 52k, less than 1,000 of them make more than $200k/yr. That's less than 2% of all faculty and employees.
About another 3500 make between 100k and 200k. That means that less than 10% of all university faculty and employees make more than 100k.
Faculty salaries are not the problem.
No, you're the one who doesn't get it.
I've told you over and over again that the high-paid professors are med-school profs and science researchers who are tops in their field and bring in millions of dollars in grants to their universities, as well as millions of dollars of industry to the state of FLA.
You're acting as though the contribute nothing, which couldn't be further from the truth.
You just keep showing your ignorance.
,
Another thing, if they are all bringing in so many million for each professor, why do they still have to rape the kids beyond belief dollar wise? You would think they would be able to go to school for free with all the money they're bringing in, lol. Your up thinker!
I just explained to you that the biggest problem is the rise in administrative/bureaucratic positions and pay--NOT professor pay.
Do some research, educate yourself before you continue to illustrate just how dumb you are.
Here are a couple articles for you:
1. From the
Wall Street Journal:
"Across U.S. higher education, nonclassroom costs have ballooned, administrative payrolls being a prime example. The number of employees hired by colleges and universities to manage or administer people, programs and regulations increased 50% faster than the number of instructors between 2001 and 2011, the U.S. Department of Education says. It's part of the reason that tuition, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, has risen even faster than health-care costs."
2. From
Washington Monthly:
Apparently, as colleges and universities have had more money to spend, they have not chosen to spend it on expanding their instructional resources—that is, on paying faculty. They have chosen, instead, to enhance their administrative and staff resources. A comprehensive study published by the Delta Cost Project in 2010 reported that between 1998 and 2008, America’s private colleges increased spending on instruction by 22 percent while increasing spending on administration and staff support by 36 percent. Parents who wonder why college tuition is so high and why it increases so much each year may be less than pleased to learn that their sons and daughters will have an opportunity to interact with more administrators and staffers— but not more professors. Well, you can’t have everything.
3. From
Bloomberg:
Purdue has a $313,000-a-year acting provost and six vice and associate vice provosts, including a $198,000 chief diversity officer. It employs 16 deans and 11 vice presidents, among them a $253,000 marketing officer and a $433,000 business school chief.
Administrative costs on college campuses are soaring, crowding out instruction at a time of skyrocketing tuition and $1 trillion in outstanding student loans. At Purdue and other U.S. college campuses, bureaucratic growth is pitting professors against administrators and sparking complaints that tight budgets could be spent more efficiently.
“We’re a public university,” Robinson said. “We’re here to deliver a high-quality education at as low a price as possible. Why is it that we can’t find any money for more faculty, but there seems to be an almost unlimited budget for administrators?”
