I think your article on the salaries of the top administrators was very informative. However, I found myself disgusted by some of the ugly facts that the piece brought to light. I think it is terrible that the lowest paid of the top administrators is Dr. Theresa Powell, the only African-American female, despite the fact that she has higher level of education (a PhD in educational administration) than many of her white, male counterparts, and has been a Vice President of Student Affairs for over 12 years (before she came to Temple she was VP for student affairs at Western Michigan.)
I also thought it was disgusting that Dr. Charles Armbrister, who is the senior VP and the boss of all the other VPs, gets paid less than some of the people who work for him. Temple students need to look no farther than the pay scales of the administrators to see that racial injustice still exists today.
