@what happened:

Students generally take 4-5 classes per term in college. If you round up you get maybe $400k per class. Account for administration and staff, and you might guess that an average professor salary is about $200k. Is that really so unbelievable for what is widely considered one of the best universities in the world?

According to your logic, the calculus lecturers at big 10 schools, who teach classes of ~200 students, must be making millions. Why don't you complain about those schools?

think before you speak of TX 12:02PM February 21, 2011

Lets see 44 students at 35 per equals $ 1 540,000 for each class. Something is out of line. What do the teachers make 750 thousand. Does that mean the taxpayers have to pay 22 thousnd per student or more?
