Love my school, and support it in every way…but can never get passed how some professors, who don't live in a true market economy, think they are entitled to compensation that is simply unvalidated…try making a living outside of academia ("tax and spend" driven) and see how the skill set pays - it doesn't.

Agree, if I had to hear about how the money for the stadium should have went to the professors one more time…
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

The answer is most of them couldn't. I really think that before anyone becomes a teacher or a government employee, they need to spend several years working in the private sector. Most of these people have never been outside of academia and have no idea how decisions that they whimsically make effect the rest of us out here in the real world.
FAU - We got Bowls!

Gotta be the only job where you can come in 15 minutes late to every class because 'the line for coffee was long' and have someone else (TA's) grade all the work/test/papers and all you do is talk for 2 hrs a day 4 days a week and can complain that 73k is not enough. If she was not happy she could of taken her philosophy degree in the real worldRick said

15 minutes?!? The summer I took her class it was usually 30 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of telling us how much we're horrible students and things where different at SUNY. Oh to be tenured :

What would validate her skill set, really? So she couldn't cut it in construction, in a hospital, or running a bank. She's in academia because it does pay for her skill set and some schools pay more for the same skill set.
Unfortunately, this is a continual problem at FAU. If you look at our professor salaries versus peer institutions, even within the state, almost all of our professors are being underpaid in comparison to their colleagues.

Showing that $73,000 invested on her is yielding a fair return in quantifiable revenue returns…
