Students can now know all state workers' salaries, including faculty, administration and staff with just one click, thanks to the Sacramento Bee's database.

Or perhaps no thanks.

With recent state workers protesting at the Bee it is clear the information comes a little too close to home. It is public record, but some question the Bee's motives, others say it is a necessary public benefit.

One thing is clear, the statistics are surprising when it comes to Sacramento State faculty. So many variables effect salaries from the economy to number of classes taught.

The State Hornet decided to deliver the raw numbers.

The catch? Only full time faculty members are listed. That cuts about half of the professors you see on a daily basis.

Depending on the hiring date, experience and the job market among other things, salaries in some departments can range from $50,00 to $100,00. For example, only three of the seven of the listed full-time faculty salaries appeared in the Speech Pathology department. That makes the average salary $85,192.

Why is this? From apathy to outrage, the campus community gave its thoughts. Give yours by emailing news@statehornet.com.

The graphics for this article are terrible. You can barely read the text on the images. As for the article, I'm glad the Bee has that information for everyone to see. (Continued…)

Wow. Most medical doctors can't boast a salary that high. Most lawyers can't boast a salary that high. How many years of school did these highest-paid administrators go through to land these jobs? And where can I sign up? Did any of them go to a state school?

Mike--

Clearly you are a product of "not much done" for Sac State. Your English teachers didn't do that great of a job on you, either.

P.S.: It's THEY'RE not THEIR

I don't understand why we complain so much about the money educators make when the likes of Tom Cruise gets $20 million or more per movie. Seriously, we have a major fundamental flaw in this country when an actor can make 200 times more than a top notch teacher for one movie, yet we are willing to spend $10+ on a movie ticket, $7 on a bucket of popcorn, and $6 on a drink all while thinking Educators should work for free.
