Or words to that effect ...


I assume you are including sports coaches in that group. Should apply
to college professors too. The newspaper had a listing of UCONN
salaries and some consultant saying they should get an additional 15% to
remain competitive with other schools. Some administrators were well
above 200k.

There are several (~10, IIRC) university presidents $1M/yr, and many
more coaches. Sports is a money maker for many schools, though. I
guess presidents are too. Their job is to lobby legislatures and alma
mater for more cash.
