iatee, Thursday, 23 May 2013 18:49 (thirteen years ago)

I'd be interestd in the salary amounts for those top posts.

nickn, Thursday, 23 May 2013 18:52 (thirteen years ago)

well, here are the coaches:

and executive compensation:

Both pages have tabs for different categories.

I haven't found a listing of deans.

Oh maintenance (doo dah), Thursday, 23 May 2013 20:04 (thirteen years ago)

amazing that the vanderbilt a.d. makes $3.2m

mookieproof, Thursday, 23 May 2013 20:11 (thirteen years ago)

Amazing that the Fresno State coach makes $650,000. It's fucking Fresno!

nickn, Thursday, 23 May 2013 20:13 (thirteen years ago)

the entire fresno economy is based on him spending his salary

iatee, Thursday, 23 May 2013 20:31 (thirteen years ago)

Fresno State is a pretty big program fwiw, despite Fresno's shitholeness.

polyphonic, Thursday, 23 May 2013 20:37 (thirteen years ago)

coach from middle tennessee state makes just as much and I've never even heard of that school

iatee, Thursday, 23 May 2013 20:49 (thirteen years ago)

located in beautiful murfreesboro tennessee

iatee, Thursday, 23 May 2013 20:50 (thirteen years ago)

i'm told that the vanderbilt ad is also the vice chancellor, so i guess that makes a little more sense

mookieproof, Thursday, 23 May 2013 20:55 (thirteen years ago)

point of the map is that we should all aspire to be coaches on the college level.

where is the fucking reality show for that?

markers have you thought about going for a master's

乒乓, Sunday, 26 May 2013 14:22 (thirteen years ago)

when we meet irl, ask me again

markers, Sunday, 26 May 2013 14:24 (thirteen years ago)

the short answer is yes

markers, Sunday, 26 May 2013 14:24 (thirteen years ago)

From 2000 to 2012, the annual production of master’s degrees jumped 63 percent, federal data show, growing 18 percentage points more than the output of bachelor’s degrees. It is a sign of a quiet but profound transformation underway at many prominent universities, which are pouring more energy into job training than ever before.

interesting way to put it

iatee, Sunday, 26 May 2013 15:08 (thirteen years ago)

GWU awarded about 3,900 master’s degrees in 2012, ranking 18th in the nation. Hopkins, with about 4,800, ranked ninth. Among others in the top 20 were New York (2nd), Columbia (3rd) and Harvard (15th) universities. The online unit of the for-profit University of Phoenix, which awarded about 18,600, ranked first.

flopson, Sunday, 26 May 2013 18:43 (thirteen years ago)
