We agree, I promise. Administrative costs are far and large the major problem, as well as needless capital and operational expenses like multi million dollar landscaping and etc.
However, I seriously must qualify your statement. There are adjuncts making 20-30k per year, with no benefits. Then there are tenured professors who barely do any teaching anymore making upwards of 200k per year. Some also hold simultaneous administrative positions.
So you have to tread carefully. I think what you are trying to say is that paying a tenured associate professor 60-80k per year is a reasonable expense. I agree with this statement.
- Rylinks 8y agoMuch of professors' salaries are paid from grants. The professor who barely does any teaching is (hopefully) pulling in research money.

You aren’t hiring PhDs in computer science with that salary. They’ll leave for industry immediately. You’re also not hiring qualified instructors in CS at $20k for the same reason.
