More on Princeton’s wealth and the “reality on the ground”

A Princeton professor writes:

Regarding https://leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2022/04/per-student-value-of-endowments-of-american-colleges-and-universities-2021.html , unfortunately you played right into the Princeton administration’s strategy of saying that life could not be better than being on faculty at Princeton. They have told me that for many years, as I struggled to make mortgage payments, to find time to advise dozens of senior theses and junior papers, to prepare brilliant lectures for the scions.

Several full professors, even endowed chairs, in philosophy earn significantly less than the Princeton average, and so significantly less than philosophy professors at Rutgers, NYU, or UCLA.

I appreciate your using your blog as a platform to highlight economic injustice.
