Additionally, my old university has built 4 new buildings in the last 4 or 5 years that I can think of. Brand new buildings, even while none of the existing buildings are ever actually full. Couldn&#x27;t this, for example, go to actually teaching? Or maybe some of those donors giving millions to the sports departments could be convinced to give to a teaching fund instead? Perhaps the university doesn&#x27;t need to spend boatloads switching student management software for the third time in a decade?<p>As the article mentions, the number of students to teachers hasn&#x27;t changed, it&#x27;s just that most of those teachers are being paid less. When the universities are making significantly more than they were, the income of the teachers should at least be proportional.
