I can sympathize with him, as it seems he actually loses money if his student evaluations aren't high enough. The fault would then lie with the institution that doesn't properly asses the teaching prowess of a professor.

- bendmorris 15y agoSemantics. He didn't get money that he would have received otherwise. I think it's fair to say he lost money.
- lyudmil 15y agoGetting a raise less than the rate of inflation is losing money. His purchasing power declined.
- sorbus 15y agoThe article does not make the claim that his raise was lower than the rate of inflation. If it was, then yes, it was effectively losing money.
