1. It’s hard to compare jobs in academics, especially OSU because one Dean may have way more responsibilities than another Dean. And example is agriculture Dean, they are over extension service and a regional campus in addition to the price they do, so they may be compensated more than another Dean.

2. I’d like to see a randomized sample of professors from same depts with similar hiring dates(compare their publishing, education, etc..). And then compare those professors with others. Ie- is a professor with 10yrs experience in academia with 5 published papers paid the same (or close). Also saying someone makes $2000 more seems like alot but if it’s on 150,000 salary, it’s less than 2%.

3. I’d like to see a comparison of service worker jobs (ie landscapers, Maintenance and janitors). They all do similar tasks and since maintenance is more make dominated, I’d be interested to see what the female wages are. Also I’d like to know what their pay is compared to outside OSU. I’ve heard the pay is about 25k. Which seems insanely low.

Overall, nice article. I enjoyed it and hopefully it Sparks change/discussion
