It couldn't be because schools pay lecturers $350k to teach a class, could it? Seems a wee bit extreme to me (although at my schedule for that rate, I would love to move into the 1% with Ms. Warren.). I guess she also persisted when it came to getting overpaid for her gig.

T.E.C. - Iowa Well, Tim, about "do you not believe that paying one professor 350k for teaching one class is outrageous?", I wrote, "This is not to say I approve of such wide variations in salaries. I am pointing out that, given our current system, Warren is not an anomaly."
