At least in the medical school people should be treating patients, with teaching/training students, residents, fellows etc. as a part of that. Of course, in the university setting there are those in the medical school who do little or no clinical work and are primarily research faculty. If they are working hard and are productive, they should also be rewarded, but the primary responsibility of any university medical school should be provision of excellent patient care first, and education second. After that come the other aspects of the mission.
I was speaking more on the side of the undergraduate side of higher education.
I was referring to the University/Campus non-medical side of salaries. Example, Professor teaching Anti-White classes and making 250K a year,plus bonuses and perks, no, no way.
And I agree on Medical school side of teaching, should be rewarded to continue excellent patient care.
