I seem to recall that Pocahantas’ base salary at Harvard was something like $370K/yr, and that’s before her speaking fees, book deals, and consulting gigs kick in.

I also seem to recall that Graham Spanier (the president of Penn State during the Sandusky Boy Lollipop scandal) was pulling down around $600K/yr, plus all kinds of sweet bennies.

All this while they rail about income inequality and the nastiness of corporations and capitalism.

Yeah, when we get that down to 40K plus a free apartment in a Soviet-style faculty dorm, we will be on the right track. :)
