Bottom line with universities is that an army of various administrators will all make six figures for doing stuff that perhaps anyone could do, but "can't" because having experience in the cryptic and domain specific bureaucracy of higher ed is mandatory.
Meanwhile, they'll try to pay all their developers and IT staff sub $50k yearly only to conclude that poor results and inability to fill positions mean they should have everything sent to Drupal subcontractors. Particularly since nobody's interested in the Peoplesoft/Oracle positions they happen to pay much more for, either.
I had professors tell me that they'll always find me no matter where I move. I still got mail from my University for a while...until I left the country. I haven't gotten crap from them since.
In some cases Universities wield considerable power over their neighborhoods: the university police department is the neighborhood police department, the university owns most of the off-campus land, talks businesses into setting up shop in the area and rents them commercial space, shapes urban planning to suit its needs, etc. "Neighborhood Outreach" can be more of a municipal government than a PR department.
I wonder how the salaries are generated. If the titles are a Markov chain, you could calculate the average percentage difference in salary made by each word in a title, and sum them, maybe…?
Notice how 5 out of 10 of these title have the word "committee". It makes me think about politics and all the nasty quotas or irrational ideas.
But finally I found someone who created an app that I like, it has a purpose!!!
First ten examples:
Associate Coordinator of the Subcommittee for Athletic Compliance

Reminds me of this: http://winapp2.com/title.html
Is this a synonym title for PR associate (not PR manager, not PR director), or maybe Junior Communications Manager? :-)
