I would really like to discuss - realistically - the practice of contracting with public university staff and administration and paying them more than the highest state elected official - our governor. How is it that the President of The University of Oregon makes 700,000 A YEAR. And we have not enough dormitories for students who must fend for themselve off campus. And high and higher costing instructional materials - in many cases that are unethically published and deemed "necessary" by the professors demanding their use.

How can we have "salaries" that are not really "salaries" but truly out of whack public compensations for not overseeing a college/university - but something else - something not quite justified to a tax paying public. Come on - how come University Presidents and/or any other staff member/administrator at public schools are not capped out at the level of our governor? They should be.... gross misuse of public funds. GROSS.
