Salaries have not gone up? Based on what analysis?

I'd also be careful about dismissing conference travel as useless. Academic conferences can be the source of inspiration and renewal and offer valuable opportunities for interaction and collaboration with other scholars in the field. I would be concerned about a campus which discouraged attendance at academic conferences and regarded faculty publishing of white papers as frivolous. Furthermore, I doubt the faculty travel budget is taking THAT much out of the general fund.
