Government funded financial aid is the driving force for tuition tripling the rate of inflation. Certainly has something to do with outrageous administrative salaries.
well this sounds a bit scary http://foxnewsinsider.com/2014/06/25/cheney-hannity-us-faces-potential-catastrophic-terror-attack
Translation, we need to invade Iraq and Syria so Halliburton can get some more contracts and I can steal more money from the American public
Haliburton already has the contracts for natural gas in Qatar. Invading Syria and deposing Assad would remove the Russian influence that is blocking the proposed NG pipeline they need to connect to the already existing infrastructure in Turkey. This would take away a lot of clout that Russia has as the primary supplier of NG to Europe.
It's an art that 100,000 people (conservatively) in the US are capable of doing, many of whom would gladly work for a quarter of the compensation that the current people doing it are getting. You want to know why university Presidents make so much? The same reason that people at the top of corporations make so much: very few people are consulted about the decision and all of them benefit when the top guys make a lot because they make a lot too. When you have boards composed of top executives at other companies there's only one direction compensation is going to go because they want the guy they pay, who sits on boards at their companies to pay them also. It's a rigged game full of self-aggrandizement.
Its not the same. Interlocking directorates at major money center banks are far, far removed from the power structure at Bradway St. U. It just is what it is.
Who decides who gets university Presidencies? Hint: the trustees are usually the same guys who sit on major boards elsewhere. Some times they're parents of those people, but mostly they're those people. Rigged.
It doesn't involve race or ethnicity specifically. It involves a largely closed group of people with money who have created a culture that siphons money up from the bottom and redistributes it mainly at the top. If the widely dispersed shareholders of a company decided executive compensation instead of the board the money would be distributed in a different fashion, although not necessarily sending more of it down the food chain. It's the fact that the boards are composed mainly of chief executives that drives up executive pay. If the train conductors at a major mass transit agency sat on a board and decided how much train conductors were to be paid and the only check on their ability to pay was what was considered reasonable based on what other mass transit companies were paying you'd have train conductor salaries going through the roof. Same thing with executive pay.

We didn't start the fire, It was always burning Since the world's been turning. We didn't start the fire, No we didn't light it But we tried to fight it. Shit, I just dated myself.
Hehe, it's just a song that sticks with you, never been a fan. Could be worse, at least I'm not waking up with the Golden Girls theme song in my head anymore.
