Last we ran three stories on the Business Department spending a good amount of money trying to improve itself, especially when it comes to professors. The school is spending 92K on a new business full professor who has only one-year experience in this institution, which is more than the 86K that a music full professor gets after 39 years experience.
The 3 top associate and assistant professors are business professors as well. In totally for those six professors, the school spends over $500,000 dollars just for business professors. No other department comes close for the amount it spends. ‘
Unfair? Maybe.
The business sector is a trade sector that requires money for good skills and that is reflect in the salaries but this school does not thrive itself on its business department, nursing and sciences primarily. For the cost of the 92K salary professor, the English or some other department could possibly pick up 2 more professors or improve the department in other ways.
Ultimately it depends on how well the business department invests in this expense. If done well, the department will grow and provide a steady stream of students for the history, philosophy, and government departments’ classes and that will be good for everyone.
Only time will tell.
