So stupid. What has the salary of the president got to do with the salary of the cleaners? It is only coincidence that the cleaners are employees on the books

So stupid. What has the salary of the president got to do with the salary of the cleaners? It is only coincidence that the cleaners are employees on the books. What about the people who make the textbooks they read, or the iPhones they use? Inequality is important, but it is a society-wide issue. Reducing inequality within a company is a meaningless goal. There is already a very effective way of reducing inequality, which has the advantage of being completely even handed. It's called income tax. Controlling costs is also good in itself, but that is a separate issue. Running an entire university is a position of great importance, and the salaries mentioned seem in line with this level of responsibility. (Not that people deserve more money because they have more responsibility. The point is that these position require the best people, who will demand higher salaries).
