There may be some hue and cry from the history faculty at WSU. I recently read an article that indicated the recently (less than a year ago) hired provost resigned his position, and expects to take up the contract provision that allows him to revert to a faculty position at the salary of $245,000 (perhaps salary and benefits?) while the average salary in the history department is somewhere in the $70 K range.
