In this global recession when many families the world over a struggling to simply purchase food and many of people are returning to school in order to improve their economic outlooks, the barriers to gaining a better education or new job skills through training are constantly going up. The article notes that university presidents such as Rensselaer’s College President, Shirley Ann Jackson, receives more than $1.6 million annually. I’m sorry, and what the hell does a college president do that’s worth $1.6 mllion annually–provide strategy? This is ridiculous and people wonder just why college and university tuition rates are skyrocketing in a manner that is far outpacing inflation. Until the egregious (some might say almost fraudulent) salaries of these top university and college administrators are reigned in the cost of higher education will certainly continue to rise at a rate higher than inflation making it far more difficult for people to begin or complete the higher educations.
