They should pass a law that make sit illegal to pay college professors anything at all. No remuneration for course work or research.
Because as soon as you start talking “salaries”, then college stops being “free”.
I’m sure the Left will support this. Free education is very important to them.
that's not practical....professors should start at minimum wage and be allowed to compete against each other for the maximum salary of the average state wage of what ever state the college is in....
