I'm an academic, and I agree that top administrators in universities have been over-paid. Those dollars are needed elsewhere in the system--especially for hiring faculty into permanent positions. Almost half of our teaching is being done by highly-qualified scholars on short-term contracts, because there are no full-time job openings. However, the CTF should also turn its spotlight on the outrageous salaries of CEOs in the private sector. The spread between the lowest paid and highest paid employees in many companies has become obscenely unequal, and unjustified. Lastly, it's Dr. Samarasekera, not Ms. Samarasekera.
