Old Curmudgeon: All of them. Adjuncts are paid less than minimum wage.

This number means little. What I'd like to know is the percentage of "non-instructional salaries," e.g., Dean of Diversity, to instructional salaries. My guess is the answer would shock many of you.

Executive salary limits would be amusing in this context ... I wonder how many of these presidents/coaches earn more than 50x what an adjunct professor earns that that school?

Does this mean that public universities are managed less well?

It's good money, but a lot less than private sector money.

We need to impose wage and price controls on the colleges, before they eat us out of house and home.
