Reply to comment by fireside_blather in Penn State, PSU, Temple and Lincoln say a tuition hike is needed, even with a 7% increase in state funding by Mrstucco

What’s that? Cut staff and student services and keep those middle-managers making six figures? Got it! -Colleges probably

As a community college advisor this is the problem. I make 45k a year and work my ass off for my students. Deans start at 120k and sit on their ass occasionally presenting our work as their success. It pisses me off. I will say the directors at my institution do put in the work. For reference I’m one step below Director. Directors report to Deans.

Our directors work hard. It's the Deans that have to go. Or at least not have as many of them. Some departments are really small. There is no need to have a Dean for each when a Director is more than enough.

At my.community college, deans were also.professors and any professor could apply for the dean position if the dean no longer wanted to be dean.
