Priorities
 

Priorities are important in education.

Wow. Just Wow. That's incredible.

25 years of full-time education ... for this????

Yeah, why DO female tenured and un-tenured professors earn less than their male counterparts? :cool:

Thats BS, Shaw - there ought to be a salary set and thats what it is male, female, black, white, red, green, blue, R, D, I, L ... whatever.

"ought to be" -- but not yet. Don't be complacent--women are still struggling for their rights in this country. We're close, but not yet equal.

Athletics fund education, keeping the alma mater fresh in the minds of alums with money. Without the coaches' salary, there would be no money to pay for the teachers and professors' salaries. Or less money.

Good point about women's rights. We've come a long way, baby, but we have far to go.

Yeah, the sports programs bring in an awful lot of money, no matter how you look at.

Don't imagine for a minute that green bar reflects the salaries of the women's football coaches, either.....

... or the swim coaches :D

'Cause ya already got most of the money, and all the pussy. :lol2:

The U of Michigan swim coach is paid quite well I think

hm I lied. the swim coach gets 90K, the football coach 300K. And I just found out what all my friends who work for the UofM earn too :eek:

You don't think $90,000 a year is well-paid?

for something that isn't football? (cough)

Swimming doesn't bring in the money football does,

Women are making progress in Italy.

Well, it's not more than the professors make. I don't think $90K is huge given the job requirements and expectations. I'm very surprised by the football coach's salary. I think there must be other income in that job.
