Why don't we respect our educators in this country? How is it that we could let it be that these professors have been working for years without a contract?

Did the president of the school earn her raise? The chancellor of CUNY, did he earn his $20,000 a month apartment that is paid for by CUNY tuition dollars?

CUNY is a public university. Education should be placed at the core. It should not be treated as another business. Professors are important.

Get the govt out of the education business and let the marketplace determine the professors worth.

Do you really think that the marketplace determines how much professors are worth at private universities?

A private school, be it K-12 or higher learning, can go out of business. Pretty sure the market and what it can bare, has a big determining factor in there. What can be a afforded as overhead and still stay in business, determines their worth. They don't do a good job, they will not have the clientele to afford anyone. Do good and higher pay my be negotiated, with more staff added and the need for more space.

Public education, is job security of so called educators, with no accountability to anyone. Not even their students.
