Actually, as a tenured associate professor (with about 20 years teaching here) I can say that my pay is not even close to minimum wage. At 70 hours a week–given that I return student work graded at the next class period (and yes, I read it ALL)–I make approximately $9.64 an hour. I am the director of my program. I am required to do lots of scholarship outside of what helps my program, just to get points on my annual reviews, so I can keep my job.
So what do I do for fun? I clip coupons, drive a 35 year old vehicle with doors that I can’t lock because the tumblers are worn out, drink, grade papers, advise my ton of advisees, tell students who want to continue in my discipline that they shouldn’t, search for books to review for the journal I am book editor for (again, so I can get points for my annual review), deal with reviewers who act like students and don’t do their work, and so on.
The school says I make over $50,000 a year, yet almost $10,000 of that comes out of my paycheck–before I even see it–for my part of my health insurance. When I was a student, that health insurance cost me $100 a month. Now it is $900 a month–with the school subsidizing more than 50% of the actual cost. WTF?
Sorry if I sound bitter, but I am. I do good for my students, teaching them things to help with their lives, not their careers, and I get shit upon by administration. I would sign my name, but Foster could just say “we don’t need to offer those classes” and I would become a middle-aged unemployed welfare recipient in a heartbeat.

This “article” fails to mention that some of the people listed are also Program Directors for their respective programs. It also doesn’t mention how long folks have worked here, average wage, etc. etc. Such a misleading waste of an article. While expecting credible and exceptional journalism from college students may be a stretch – when did the Crite go so far downhill???

Pointing out these salaries may leave the impression that ALL faculty are paid six figures, which is clearly not the case. Especially when you consider the pay of adjuncts on campus whose salaries literally may not break the per hour minimum wage when considering time spent correcting papers, preparing classes, advising students, etc.

I can confirm, adjuncts make less than minimum wage.

Thank you, Tom, for speaking out. I agree that we (academia in general, and CMU in particular) treat adjuncts poorly. Given then new school limit of only 2 courses a semester; there is no way someone limited to two courses a semester could come even close to a living wage.
