Salary disparities are the focus of The Great Divide, a May 30 Chronicle of Higher Education article. An Asst. Prof. at the Business school, University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa makes $ 72,691, the highest paid faculty is in law making $102,462 and the lowest paid discipline at $35,991 is still library science! While the salaries may be fair and reflect the private sector the argument and concern is over the long-term erosion of the humanities. Interestingly, this reflects the more comonly held view (at leats among the general population) of library science as a humanities discipline. Despite the inroads of information technology into the field. NOTE: Access to this article requires a subscription to the Chronicle. comment []5:24:57 PM
