<p>It seems that USA is contradicting the Payscale numbers in the WSJ seven months ago that had Cornell at $110K and Duke at $106K. Cal was $112K, USC was $99.6K and UMichigan was $93K. Stanford, which USA Today cites is the highest at $115K, was $129K. Can salaries really have come down so much in such a short period of time?</p>
