Some institutions in China offer as much as US $60,000 to visiting professors and still others offer twice that much for well-known MBAs, engineering and science professors.
Peking University adds an additional $US50,000 settling in fee and living quarters.
This is a lot of money in the states. It is a lot of lot of money in China with its lower cost of living.
The dean at one law university is reported to make $625,000/year. He could live off of $25,000 and save the other $600K.
Somehow, someone in China thinks they can buy prestige just by paying a huge salary to some prof who graduated from the right school. But that does NOT make for good student outcomes.
The prof still needs to communicate. The students still need to absorb. And student performance needs to be measurable in real world differences.
Some people think it will still take Peking or Tsinghua University some 10 years to make it to the world's top 200 universities and twice that long to make it to the top 100.
What does it take to make a university a top university? That makes for a great debate and I hope I get some feedback.
What do you think?
