In other words, your average educator earns in a year about what your average corporate scumbag steals in a week . . . or a good day.  |
I would disagree with you. Salaries at public universities are available for some states per FOIA:

Data here show that most of the administrators & many of the top faculty at even the "non-fancy" schools are raking in considerable salaries, not to mention state-provided benefit packages. Your state may vary, I just checked Virginia & NY schools as a basis.
