Updates:
- Tax Prof Sarah Lawsky (George Washington) has more in Overpaid? Underpaid?
- A reader pointed out that my earlier post wrongly reported faculty salaries for over a dozen "LEO" and "Clinical" faculty because it failed to distinguish annualized v. actual salaries. I have deleted that material from the post.

I thought that professors could take on work outside of their teaching duties. A few expert witness jobs would could push salaries up into that range. And why leave out summer research stipends? It's compensation like any other.
