I always suspected that of Tilghman.
$500,000 a year. Something is wrong with this country.
And yet many, many retired Princeton professors are skipping meds, and worrying about food and fuel oil, because their university pensions are so skimpy...
I love Shirley!
Good point about the retired profs having a hard time, which I happen to know is true. Shirley should redirect some of her ill-gotten gains to help the people who labored for decades to keep the Princeton experience honest: the older faculty, who were paid little and earned pathetic benefits (I mean humanists and social scientists, not the economists and scientists, who live much better in retirement).
If they took of bit of their time away from affairs and catfights to learn algebra and personal finance, they wouldn't be in the hole they are in now.

@Retired: I believe the point under discussion is: how can President Tilghman deliver speeches about "Princeton, where all are respected" with a straight face when the older faculty members whose unheralded labor built the place are being driven out and beaten down. Other universities give their emeriti decent offices and cost-of-living pension increases. Here it's: "Go away now, geezers, and make it snappy."
P.U. management is giving the name, Princeton, a bad reputation. The Princeton College of Medicine (http://princeton-med.mynetworksolutions.com/) would like to take this opportunity to inform interested parties that it has no connection with P.U. or Google.
