I never met an educator that was worth more than minimum wage. I never met one that ever invented anything worth a C R A P!

Why do they need to make more than the president of the US? I mean, c'mon, this is ridiculous.

And most of them are liberals who donate to liberal causes for social justice and the religion of environmentalism.
Liars and hypocrites all supported by moistly hard working honest people.

Such BS! No one deserves that kind of pay. They do as much as a hood ornament on a car. Keep raising the fees the students pay so the university presidents can live in the style to which they have become accustomed.

Ask yourself these questions the next time you register for classes! Do you earn your salary? Do you actually work for a living? Are you worth what you are paid?

What's in your wallet?

Hey! What happened to the good old free market system you guys are always bleating about? These are private institutions in a competitive market, isn't that supposed to be the way it works? I assume you knowledgeable people are aware of coaches salaries, right?

So now that the ER has started to publish private salaries, maybe they will have a chart comparing private salaries to the public salaries they already publish. Fat chance.

I would bet that you are a so-called educator or work in under that umbrella.

Public salaries are far above that of people working in private business. Where have you been? This is well know and admitted fact. It is called socialism of, by and for the government workers unions that is why they always support more government.
I just heard on the news that 70 percent of the stimulus money for the state of Oregon went to government agencies and 70 percent of that to teachers. Specifically it went into their wages, not for supplies and other student needs. If you are either a parent or a college student, you should be concerned and demand your government be returned to you. A government of, by and for the people.

Sorry,.. wrong again - try accounting. Did you happen to read the article the other day where the schools are trying to set up a new policy that charges the teachers for electricity used for mini fridges and space heaters? So basically since the district cant get away with more pay cuts,.. they figure there's more than one way to skin a cat,.. get the teachers to pay the bills. I dont agree that it's ok for these people to be receiving a million dollars,.. but c'mon,.. who the hell else has a desire or the ability or tolerance to do what they do?

So let us privatize the public education industry. Just think if all our business were to be run by the GOV. We have examples of this in other countries. GOV does it better, not!
