There is no strawman fallacy! In fact, you are guilty of the fallacy of calling "fallacy" whenever someone criticizes your argument! It is not surprising that you have a dislike of professors given that you don't know what the heck you are talking about. I can imagine how real logic teachers might get in the way of your agenda; better to replace them with unqualified dupes.<br>
<br>Who are the folks who are going to be teaching these classes for next to nothing? Again, I can teach a logic class with 250 students. If we limit class size to 25, that still requires 10 folks to teach the same number of students. What will you pay them? Less than 1/10 of my salary? And you're going to get 10 of them to teach at that pay scale, none of whom can teach the upper division classes that I teach!?! And this will improve education exactly how? By having unqualified people who are willing to work for next to nothing just so you can reduce class sizes to the levels of 10 years ago, when folks were willing to pay for education!<br>
<br>This is not a plan. It is just hysterical rhetoric intended to influence folks who are going through the worst financial crisis since the 30s by giving them a scapegoat to blame. You keep saying how "overpaid" folks are yet you CANNOT name one individual who is overpaid. <br>
<br>Also, you keep ignoring refutations of your comments, like Betsy's point that salaries at UI are NOT rising every year; that few have had pay increases in the last 5 years. Yet you want to cut their pay even more, more than it has been cut given inflation. Shame on you!<br>

<div>I am afraid you like to still create strawmen and attack them in place of my arguments. I believe it is money better spent to have smaller classrooms than to pay people making a huge amount of money more money if the goal is to produce better educated students.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I understand your point about inflation, however the cost of education and professor salaries have increased well beyond the rate of inflation. In fact, many things are cheaper now than they were two to five years ago. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I think many of the so called "smart people" with the inflated salaries and benefits are more of the problem than the solution. Just because people are smart doesn't mean they are the solution, many times smart people are also dishonest or greedy, or unmotivated to help others over themselves. It takes unselfish and highly motivated people to solve complex problems, not just smart ones. Most of the smart overpaid people at UI don't stick around long enough to see anything through or have the influence and position to make any real needed changes.. During my four years at UI I saw three Presidents and countless financial people come and go. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I disagree that WSU professors are underpaid compared to their counterparts. The cost of living around the Palouse is far less than other places and the quality of life is far more enriching.</div><div class="im">

<div>Everyone gets paid more and more each year. It is called "inflation." We pay more and more for hamburgers each year and this is justified because its produced better hamburger-eaters!?! Again, you have these thoughts about education that don't project well if you take them to any other arena.<br>
<br>You write: "Education improves because classrooms are smaller, teachers have resources to do their jobs, the teachers are dedicated to the progress of the students, and the concerns and issues facing teachers are addressed."<br>
<br>Wait a minute. Is your "solution" to lower classroom size? Is the idea that if we cut salaries 5% and pay no one more than 70,000 that we be able to re-coup enough savings so that we get down to a classroom size where it will matter, say, 20 students?<br>
<br>For one thing, class room sizes is not getting smaller, it is getting larger. And cutting salaries isn't going to help you. Sure you can get a bunch
of people to teach classes to 20 students but it would be a whole lot more efficient to just get one gal to teach 250 students; get a fe<span>w T</span>As to do the grading. Do the math: your solution is NOT going to save money in the long run. If it were that easy, someone would have already thought to that "solution."<br>
<br>You need to have a little more faith and trust that the folks in higher ed are in it for the right reasons and that nonetheless it is a competitive market. People are payed what they are paid because that is the going rate. Folks on the Palouse are already underpaid relative to their colleagues at peer institutions. And believe it or not the administrations of both universities are filled with intelligent people, folks who are also interested in education in the same way that the K-12 teachers you love so dearly are interested in education, people who are busting their humps trying to figure out how to deal with this
situation.<br><br>Best, Joe<br><br><br>

<div>We do pay professors more and more each year yet it hasn't provided smarter students.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>There is no strong correlation, as you claim, nor have you produced any evidence or study that shows that paying educators more money results in higher educated students. Idaho ranks on the bottom for K-12 funding of teacher salaries, yet it ranks closer to the top in state rankings. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Education improves because classrooms are smaller, teachers have resources to do their jobs, the teachers are dedicated to the progress of the students, and the concerns and issues facing teachers are addressed. Adding more zeros on the end of their check doesn't make a teacher any better. How many zeros we add is based on what the community can afford, not what they are worth, as no community could afford the true value of one single elementary teacher.</div>

<div>Paying professors more certainly hasn't helped the quality of education, has it? Nor does paying a professor more money make them any smarter or better. So why not put the money where it would be most effective. But again, it isn't just overpaid professors, it is also administrators that misspend public funds including overpaying themselves.</div>

<div>I think the Palouse has a lot to offer. Good K-12 schools, safe neighborhoods, great public parks and wonderful people, not to mention the beauty of Idaho and no 45 minute commute to work. Things a higher salary cannot buy in other areas that offer comparable salaries. </div>

There are limits on what doctors can charge for medicare and medicaid whom represent the poorest and most vulnerable of our society.

<div>In a free market place, what counts as an "unfair profit"? Do you think that the money that doctors are allowed to charge the uninsured is "fair"? Do you think the price for baseball tickets is fair or unfair? Are we required to cap textbooks and education costs but not doctor fees?<br>
<br>I have to tell your overall education "plan" is unlikely to get the best and the brightest higher ed teachers: 5% pay-cut, no more than $70,000 per-year, a limit on how much they can charge for their own textbooks, etc.<br>

<div>It seems to me that some people are trying to make unfair profit by raking advantage of poor struggling students when they charge so much for textbooks. What is sad is that part of the rip off is coming from people that are so-called pro-education and already doing well without the income of ripping off students and making education less accessible for many people.
