Someone's paying for those million-dollar homes. Your claim is fake. Princeton University: $213,769 (average professor salary)https://www.businessinsider.com/the-average-salaries-of-ivy-league-university-professors-2019-8#harvard-university-226394-8
Do you think it's unreasonable for someone at the top of one of the world's best universities should earn $200K ?
It's not up to me or you to decide what someone should be paid or what's the appropriate amount. Nor are salaries an abstract amount. Free markets determine that. They are based on supply and demand.
The original point we were discussing was that professors are in favor of government provided tuition loans because it raised income to the universities at tuition costs 4x inflation rate of the general economy. Therefore, professors subsequently can get paid higher salaries.

The original point we were discussing was that professors are in favor of government provided tuition loans because it raised income to the universities at tuition costs 4x inflation rate of the general economy. Therefore, professors subsequently can get paid higher salaries. So naturally, they are for those loans that kids get straddled for years to pay them off. Whatever salaries professors earn now would be less if it was not for those loans.
So you list a source that undercuts your point at the end it? Also, this does not point out how much the wage was increased by. Was it 10%, 25%, 110%, like we are suggesting?
Compared with other sources of income, how important do you think tuition fees are for Princeton?
Continued internecine strife, https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/21/trump-revenge-gop-impeachment-backers-461189. I guess debate and disagreement aren't always so highly valued.
They must be very important if they increased tuition four-fold compared to the rest of the economy. After all, if other services went up 1x or 2x like the regular economy, why was it necessary to increase tuitions 4x? Where did all that money go if not for professor and administrator salaries and plant expansion and services? They aren't sending me a check. By the way, here are University presidents' salaries.

And while we were seemingly not paying much attention, the number of US Covid deaths reached 420,000 yesterday, according to Worldometer. I remind you that the US was at 300,000 deaths on December 10th, a few short weeks ago. The 2020 Christmas break was a risky time.
The annual tuition fees at the top universities run over $50,000 in USA, £9,250 in UK (more for international students), $1,660 in Switzerland, and only €500 in public universities in Germany (more in private universities). Huge difference between USA and Germany. https://www.topuniversities.com/student-info/student-finance/tuition-fees-worlds-top-universitieshttps://www.topuniversities.com/student-info/student-finance/how-much-does-it-cost-study-germany
