I don't think things are going the way the OP intended

Have you seen the salaries at public universities? Go explain how an assistant professor with a base pay of 60K can have an annual salary of 360K. Do you need a link? I gots one........
Many people are avoiding a degree because of costs, especially our young, or do you deny that?
Not debunked, see other thread for response. The corruption of paying 300k to this guy is un-bee-lievable.
You folks have an education heading YOUR way. You are going to come back down here with us little folks and see what that's like my friend.
Your excuse for atrocious university and tuition costs is deplorable. You know exactly the system has been a cash free for all, and not all of you are liberals either. Just the loud ones..........
There is a huge problem building with this. I can understand why some would prefer not to face the reality of the situation.
Perhaps folks should do some research before getting outraged.
Titanic Sailor said this:
How does an "assistant" professor with a base of 60K end up making 362K for the year?
From his list that means he could only be talking about Associate (not Assistant) professor David Phillips at UMass.
Even a few seconds of research would have revealed he was talking about this guy.
Care to know how he earns that much money? He's a Doctor, as in medical doctor, with a specialization in Radiology. He makes all his money not from tuition dollars but from his Medical Practice. His $60,000 a year is paid to him because he works with medical students.
Now, if Titanic Sailor had done his research, he'd realize that in this case his OUTRAGE isn't justified. This guy isn't getting rich off student tuition, but he's being fairly compensated for work outside his duties as a teacher.
When folks freak out about Professor earnings, they should take the time to find out how much outside consulting a Professor does, and how much grant money they bring in. At a R1 institution, the Professor's salary isn't paid for by tuition, but instead by the money the Professor brings in to fund his research. Frequently that money pays for the salaries of his graduate students and lab workers too.
In short: Titanic Sailor was looking to get outraged. He didn't care if he came off looking stupid in the process.
He was paid by the STATE over 300K, not from his practice.
Jello?
So his hospital salary is paid by the taxpayers? Is this a state hospital? You aren't making any sense. he's on the state payroll for over 300K for 2008.
In short, there is a massive correction heading towards all government employees............
hahahaha
You folks are gonna come back down to earth and enjoy life with the taxpayers for a change.
Read this:
In short, if UMass were to tell this particular professor "You make too much!", he could go into private practice and make essentially the same income. Only now, instead of teaching students and sharing his experience, he's just working for himself.
Perhaps its time to find another name on that list to hone in on. You probably could have made the case with an administrator or a beauracrat, but you're digging yourself deeper and deeper here......
Then go into private practice, and good luck. Easily replaced for less money.
I am being honest, you appear to be in full defensive mode for ridiculous government salaries. OK, here's another idea for you:
How much are state universities costing the taxpayer, and should we review just shutting them down?
