I thought that this article might pique some interest, especially for those who wish to become full time professors. http://www.democratandchronicle.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080815/NEWS01/808150370
This is pretty common; check out the eye-popping salaries for some UMass people; http://www.bostonherald.com/projects/payroll/massachusetts/annual_rt.DESC/UMS/
Nice! Although, none of the them look close to that a Cardiothoracic Surgeon/Professor from the SUNY Downstate Medical campus at 1.2 - 1.3M each of the last 3 years.
Professors who teach cardiothoracic surgery are worth $1.3 million per year. Is an "Associate Vice Chancellor" (could there be a more hack-sounding title?) at UMass really worth $571,225 per year?
