Nice Work If You Can Get It

$136,800.

That's the the average total compensation of full professors at WMU.

Faculty salaries are a major reason for the high and increasing cost of college tuition.

Nice work if you can get it.

What's your point Allan?

Most of them have doctrine degrees right?

Look up the average salary and compensation of someone with that level of education. I'm sure its around, or above what they make at WMU.

A university is only as good as its faculty... to get and keep high quality teachers, you have to pay them.

Also, state funding cuts have caused our tuition to increase as well.

It's a capitalist society right? So you shouldn't get mad at them for trying to make as much as they possibly can.

I usually agree with a lot of your points Allan, but not this one.
