I stopped reading at the salary information for professors. Either Galloway is intentionally misleading or he's dangerously unable to represent facts.
>The average salary of a full professor (before benefits and admin support costs) is $104,820, though some make much more, and roughly 50% of full-time faculty have tenure.
He's conflating the full professor (the highest-ranking level for a professor) with full-time faculty. What's more, he ignores the fact that outside of R1 institutions, the average salary for a full professor is uniformly well below that (the chart where he got his data from is here: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2018/04/11/aaups-annual-...). After seeing that gross misrepresentation of higher ed salaries, I'm not predisposed to trust any of his other arguments.
