<p>First off, I’ve seen your posts on this forum, and it’s pretty clear that you just want to cause controversy. Your posts speak for themselves: <a href=“misanthrope1 collegeconfidential site:talk.collegeconfidential.com - Google Search”>misanthrope1 collegeconfidential site:talk.collegeconfidential.com - Google Search;
<p>The Jacobin is a far left-wing magazine with a self-reported circulation 7,500. I do not expect any balanced journalism to come out of there. If I had to guess, I would say that this article was written by the left-wing coalition at UChicago that has been protesting the lack of a trauma center. Which, I should note, consists of like 15 people altogether. </p>
<ul>
<li><p>The corporatization of America is not unique to UChicago.</p></li>
<li><p>President Zimmer’s pay was due to his stellar performance in helping revive the College and all its associated initiatives. You can call it excessive, but most of us associated with the University are very happy with his work.</p></li>
<li><p>Harvard’s president earns less because of the prestige of the position.</p></li>
<li><p>The high debt levels are a cause for concern. That’s the only point I agree on. But this article was written (I believe) before Chicago’s $6.5 billion capital campaign. </p></li>
<li><p>Fabrice Tourre was assigned to teach grad students only, not undergrads. The article makes it seem like he was forced to not teach altogether. </p></li>
</ul>
<p>I stopped reading there because I realize that the article lumps together all the recent mishaps of the University and tries to imply some ulterior motive. </p>
<p>Seriously, go find something better to do besides promoting Duke at every turn and putting other schools down. I would say that you have a mighty fine inferiority complex. </p>
