It irritates me when people talk about UVa’s serious financial problems. Every other public university and most of the private universities in the US would love to only have UVa financial problems, instead of their own. Also, when comparing faculty salaries with other top universities, let’s also remember that many of those top universities are in locations with a much much higher cost of living. That is why NYU is buying multi-million dollar condos for some of their new hires, and even paying for some of their vacation homes, while their financial aid to their students is pathetic.
