[QUOTE="CarolinaCuse, post: 5316148, member: 510"]
I've worked in higher ed for 30+ years.  Other observations... faculty and academic instruction comp rates haven't changed (relatively speaking) as much over the years because PhDs and advanced degrees have been the standard for a very long time.  Adjust faculty rates have changed quite a bit due to the influence of the private market.

Higher ed administration has changed significantly, as the field has grown more complex with intentionality, preparation, and compliance influences.  There are now graduate degrees for higher ed administration and other related fields that reflect the evolution of work in higher ed.  With those advances come increased competition for talent driving the market.  Yet, I know a good number of higher ed professionals that are paid less than $70k with PhDs and Master's degrees.  Personally, I think many higher ed administrators are significantly under paid... but also agree that universities don't need to provide the expanse of services that they are expected to in this day and age.
