Honestly, as an adjunct professor, you don't make much. Full time faculty are, on average, probably paid at least 3 times what you make (based on numbers from 2013). That probably doesn't make you feel great, but as a percentage of costs, faculty salaries are still the biggest expense at all schools I know of. Staff for non-academic activities outside of the VP chain and coaches are also generally much lower than faculty salaries - Student life, activities, diversity, etc are closer to what you make.
