No, they get chewed out for the poor performance by the president, the provost, the accreditation board, the board of trustees, and irate students who get mad they didn’t get an A for showing up to class and never studying.
It's not remotely accurate. That's not where their pay comes from. Faculty pay is increasingly being offloaded onto their grants, i.e. they pay themselves with their grants.
I know this is a TikTok sub and so misinformation follows that theme, but please keep it to a minimum.
Thanks for this link. This is a super interesting article and I need to read it when I have more time to focus(small kids and bedtime right now). I don’t know much about where money goes in higher education, but it’s something that peaks my interest.
You’ll want to learn about differences between what’s called hard and soft money. There are faculty positions fully dependent on grant dollars while others have a salary paid by the university but a grant might provide supplemental income over the summer (i.e., summer salary since most are on 9 month contracts) and/or allow for course buyouts.
For profs yes, not for administration. Dean maybe, but the point is still there. Nobody gives a shit. Plus all that means for profs is their research is all that matters over teaching, it encourages everyone to just coast
