“Harvard paid Elizabeth Warren $700.000.00 for 2 years part-time work.”
When profs get that much it is usually due to their fund raising abilities.
They help create a bigger and bigger endowment by going out and talking to rich donors.
They may bring in a lot more in donations than their salary.
In Warren's case, the gross amount of income included other sources, including legal consulting, work on government contracts, etc. As near as I can make out, she made something north of $200K per year in actual salary as a professor.
Which is average for a full professor at Harvard.
Great gig if you can get one.
