Government is not thrifty; it does not have to be.
"Despite a yawning budget gap, San Francisco State University continues to spend hefty sums on administrators’ salaries and non-academic expenses, leaders of the university’s faculty union say.
For example, between 2006 and 2009, marketing and other non-academic costs increased 28 percent, or $5 million. Over the same period, expenditures for instruction, including faculty salaries, grew by 18 percent, or $23 million, according to a new report commissioned by the university’s faculty union."
The head of the UC system gets paid over $800,000 PER YEAR. The Governor gets $212,000 and the President of the United States $400,000.
Government education is out of control. it is time to sell the systems and cut the costs. We can not afford an $800,000 a year educator.
"Among the other findings in the report: The average salary and benefit package for each of the university’s 149 administrators was $156,000 in the 2009-10 academic year. By contrast, the highest-ranking faculty members earned an average of $117,000 for salary and benefits in the same year, according to figures provided by the university."
