When I was in graduate school, in my department (computer science) 70% professors are from Asian countries.
Now tell me how universities have a conspiracy to hire cheap professors to replace Americans.
it's not a conspiracy if its legal. They hire foreigners because they can -- they're here, and they work for cheap. Back when I was in college my comp. sci professors were also asians, and every single one of them earned less than $100k/yr.
Higher ed. provides the easiest path to permanent u.s. residency, as universities are exempt from many visa restrictions (including the h-1b).

Public universities have pretty standard packages, and there is no way for them to hire cheap.
$100k/yr is very good for assistant professors, and even tenured ones, even now.

bull, public universities have flexibility in what types of people teach their courses. they have all sorts of options for hiring cheap.

yes and I just said that he just said that engineers were directly comparable with tech workers, which they aren't.
These threads always end up devolving the same way once the resident hiring managers show up insisting that India is full of purple unicorns while they remain an extinct species in America.
nailed it.
"But we offered market wages and no Americans would take them, it must be a shortage!"

You did not even understand my words. Public universities publish the wages online and you can check.
Professors in the same program with the same rank always have very similar salaries, unless they have external funding (which is common for engineering).
Lies. Average H-1B salary is $74,387 / yr, which is substantially less than comparable American workers.
I said more than just that, you realize

What's your point?
Who said you should compare a professor of computer science and a professor of english?
your posts are growing increasingly obtuse
