  • The left loves to bitch about CEO pay as if that is the reason others don't make a good living. I never hear a bitch about lowering the cost of running a university and passing those savings along. Why is that? Making college more affordable always focused on the consumer having accesses to some kind of government subsidy. Never on the cost of the supply. UW has an annual payroll of 2.4 billion. Outside of athletics, the highest paid state employee is a UW professor making over $600k in salary. Of course the argument is that these people are worth it because they bring funding and dollars to the school. And someone else would steal them away. Well no shit. That's why CEOs get paid too. So which is it? CEOs bad, college profs good? Let's ask the liberals if they think Professor salaries should be capped just like they think CEOs salaries should be.

    Bill Moyes (and those quoting him...) are FS. Its not run as a business.

    Let the borrowing rate for college students float with the degree and market and then see what happens...right now the govt says borrow money, and college says we'll take that and a little more. People scream, and so they govt says borrow a little more, and the university says we'll take that and then some.

    Its not effin rocket science. Why the hell can someone borrow $60+K for a liberal arts degree? No private business would loan them that money.
