Come on....why can't they? There are 300 million people in this country. They can't find a qualified person to do the job for $500K vs $1,000,000?

They aren't just looking for qualified. They are looking for "the best available person", or even paying enough to make people who where otherwise not available, become available.

Its an expensive habit we need to break.

Of course there are a number of options as to what to do with the money but a first good step is getting salaries lowered.

Its always in their interests to lower the salaries, if they can do so with no reduction in the quality of or the morale of the employees, including those at the top. But if they underpay compared to what other "elite" schools pay, they will tend to lose the top candidates.

What do you think are the qualities that make a top candidate worth $1,000,000 and a qualified one worth only $500K.
