Education and Six-Figure Salaries. The Iconoclast.
McMurtry, John
Canadian Social Studies, v31 n1 p8,10 Fall 1996
Criticizes the recent trend of six-figure-plus salaries for higher education administrators in Canada. Maintains that these salaries reflect neither market value nor individual performance but rather result from aggressive self-promotion and institutional chicanery. Argues that those individuals motivated primarily by money should work in the private sector. (MJP)
