Capitalism-Hating Marxist Professor Rakes in $170,000


Posted: Aug 21, 2015

One of the leading lights of Marxism on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison brings home a sweet salary of $170,000 per year. The well-heeled sociology professor is Erik Olin Wright .. The tenured, capitalism-hating professor’s annual salary of $170,000 is $117,587 greater than the household income of a typical Wisconsin family and is in the top 2 percent of all Americans. While an average middle-class family in Wisconsin survives on $4,368 per month, the Marxist professor enjoys a cushy monthly income of $14,166. He will teach exactly two courses in the fall semester for this princely sum. The Marxist professor has required students in his courses to watch “An Inconvenient Truth,” the documentary which follows Al Gore around as he jets to several places to sound the alarm about global warming. dailycaller.com ;

He should cut that in half. That's why college tuition - keeps going up. That, and the

fact that since the govt is providing loans for whatever the amount, they can keep raising their prices.

Scott Walker uses taxpayer $$ to fund Milwaukee sports team - big deal

[ In Reply To ..]
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) signed legislation to spend $250 million from taxpayers on a new arena for the Milwaukee Bucks basketball team — a deal he has championed. The team’s ownership group — which includes one of Walker’s top campaign fundraisers — had threatened to move the Bucks to another state if the taxpayer financing did not come through.

By the way, the UofW basketball coach and football coach both make more than 2 MILLION a year. Go Badgers!

of marginal professors employed and overly paid. That's why no one addressed the REAL reason college is so expensive. The student loan program props them up.

This would be a good question to ask Bernie Sanders - or Hillary in a debate.

Why are the taxpayers subsiding this kind of salary?

The cost of higher education has exploded due to the large - number of tenured professors like this

[ In Reply To ..]
plus the hiring of layers of equally unproductive administrators. This guy only teaches 6 hours per week.

Governor Walker has been trying to force tenured professors in Wisconsin to teach 3 classes per semester which means 9 hours per week in the classroom instead of 6. The academic establishment and leftist Democrat politicians have been fighting him claiming 9 hours per week in the classroom is too much.

College cost would significantly decrease if this issue - was addressed honestly. This is not R or D,

it affects everyone.

Sanders likes to talk about Europe providing free college, but what you need to know is they only take the top students.

The students are paying for this professor's - salary. Someone should do a video

Washington State has cut college tuition, so have several other - state colleges. Indiana is

offering in-state tuition to out of state students. These states are doing something rather than raising tuition.

There is a way to do it without raising taxes. It's a start.

If the tuition is "free" and paid for by the govt (taxpayers) - then students don't care about the cost,

[ In Reply To ..]
that is inherently the problem with freebies. Somebody is paying for it. It's not just the rich. It's the middle class. Their taxes go up.

Of course, politicians can't use the class envy argument with real reform.

$170,000 a yr for 9 hrs a week. No wonder - college costs so much.

Unbelievable.

Have any of you really known a college - professor?--publish or perish

[ In Reply To ..]
meet with graduate students, supervise TAs, run your lecture classes, do research, hire your research assistants and collate their information. 9 hours a week, hah!

They may be overpaid and they may be paid what the market will bear. Sort of like doctors. We have a doctor here at our state University that makes about $750,000 a year and that doesn't even count his patent income. Do you think he is worth that?

Well, if someone is going to justify a salary like this, - then don't complain of the college cost

[ In Reply To ..]
as there is an explanation and a solution. If one is not willing to implement the solution, then don't complain.

Of course, then class envy and soaking the rich can't be used as a political tool then.

His salary is a drop in the bucket compared - to the coaches of UW

Bo Ryan makes nearly $3 million a year. He is a public employee. I have no idea the mechanisms of how these guys get paid, but I do know we also subsidize all the crazy new stadiums being built as taxpayers.

To me, THAT is disgusting, that the highest paid university employees are coaches.

I don't know what effect that has had on tuition and costs at universities, but I do know that didn't happen 30 years ago either.

That's needs to be addressed too. Good point. - NM
