Volume 88, Issue 43
After reading “A Professor’s Worth,” I am left wondering whether the model used to determine “how much a professor brings in” also included an estimate of how much the administrative officers and staff and the maintenance staff bring in (C&EN, Sept. 20, page 4). Presumably, their salaries are also paid in part from student fees. Furthermore, when a generous donor makes a large gift, often largely in recognition of the achievements of the fine scholars of the university (both teachers and students), who gets the credit in the ledger?
