So, to be fair, that £9,000 per student is clearly not going to the faculty. Do you think a lecturer teaching a 300-person class is making some £2.7M&#x2F;year?<p>&gt; “Hey student – all I’m asking for is a little respect, seeing as how much you pay makes no difference to my wages, yet the level of support I am forced to offer you takes up 80% of my time despite the fact that teaching still only equates to 33% of my workload. But I’ll be in the office until 9pm anyway because if I don’t publish two papers by the end of the year, I’ll be fired”.<p>There are people getting rich off of the university scam, but it isn&#x27;t the faculty. And the people who <i>are</i> getting rich are clever enough to stay hidden and let the students think they&#x27;re overpaying the faculty.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bbc.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;education-31715020" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bbc.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;education-31715020</a>
