>However, with multi-billion endowment at top schools, couldn't they pay competitively at least for part-time lecturers with PhD and some teaching experience, who might be working in the industry, to fill in requisite teaching needs? No. That could result in CS people (esp. non-tenured ones) making more money than beginning business professors, and that simply cannot be tolerated. Instead, they need to just keep salaries for CS people low, and then whine to the press about how they can't fill all their CS positions. A lot of corporations do the same thing.
