The president of Bennington College recently fired a philosophy professor who had been critical of her. The position of Carlin Romano, who had taught at Bennington for more than five years, was terminated shortly after a meeting with the school’s president, Elizabeth Coleman, where the two engaged in a heated discussion that reportedly escalated to name calling and insults. Bennington College faculty members have long accused the president of penalizing those who disagree with her and removing faculty from the decision-making process. Contracts of two other professors who had questioned some of the president’s decisions over the past year have not been renewed and another instructor who criticized her recently resigned from the college.
Survey: Law profs best-paid faculty
A report from the College and University Personnel Association states that law professors at American colleges and universities are paid significantly more than their closest peers in engineering and business--by as much as $17,000. The CUPA survey analyzed faculty salaries, by discipline, at more than 800 public and private schools whose primary mission is teaching. The study found that on average law professors at public institutions made $95,829 compared to $77,474 for chemical engineering and $77,628 for business management. Those numbers were about 5-7 percent higher at private institutions.
