> In the past 2 years, the IndieThinkers.org operation has grossed $189,305 > I'm most proud to say I've paid other lecturers a huge chunk of that. I've paid other lecturers about $63,000, or about $12,000 per lecturer on average. It's a bizarre fact that I pay lecturers substantially more than the average adjunct professor commands from any university in the world. A yearly salary of $12,000 for an adjunct professor in the U.S. is exceptionally low according to most sources I can find. Perhaps the author forgot to mention that the lecturers are part-time, or something of that nature?

  For example here in Vietnam a university lecturer can earn between $500-$1500 a month, but the average is about $1000. The universities are pretty good -- I've taught a few semesters in the system. http://www.salaryexplorer.com/salary-survey.php?loc=236&loctype=1&job=6259&jobtype=3 http://www.salaryexplorer.com/salary-survey.php?loc=236&loct...

  > substantially more than the average adjunct professor commands from any university in the world. suggests (although I agree it's ambiguous) that they pay more than any university pays on average to adjunct professors (e.g. more than the average Harvard adjunct professor earns).

    Again I understood the reference to be the "world" / "global". So entirely NOT ambiguous. I don't understand why you are mentioning "Harvard". It's simply in America. The world -- surprisingly -- is much bigger than this.

      "Any" implies the entire world, including the top universities. So more than any university is also more than all universities.

        "Average" is the key word in that sentence though.

I read it as a per course payment. Adjuncts earn more but teach multiple courses. Open to correction.

It's a course structure, not a semester, so it's for a particular workshop.
