I have a couple of more points I want to make after looking at Samuel Wood's chart on Fopros and Non-profits.
According to his graph, the non-profits pay about 38% of their budget for instruction. The fopros pay out about 33% or five percent less. By my best calculations, that would mean my full-time salary would be around, let me see if I can get this right, 5% less than that of the same person at a non-profit school. Or did I miss something?
Perhaps its the fact that most tenured profs don't teach! They let their TA's do that for them, no?
So, might it be that the full-time fopro instructor and the full-time tenured prof have about the same salary, but the non-profit types need an extra 5% so they can get someone else to go to the classroom for them?
I know it is not quite that simple, but it also isn't much more complicated than that either.
Non-profits pour only 5% more of their budget into instruction than the fopros.
How much difference can that make in the quality of the lecture?
What do you think?
