[quote=Anonymous]Sophisticated consumers look at HOW the faculty are paid. At R1 universities, they are forced to bring in a large portion of their salary through grants. Anyone who works in their lab is also paid through their grants. What they can't make up for in grants, they have to underwrite by taking on teaching or administrative roles. At schools which emphasize teaching, they are usually paid a 9 month salary just for teaching (many then bring in grants which pay them in the summer). Mind you, people on such "hard money" salaries have a heavier teaching load (which can mean they can't give as much individual attention). But at a place like Bowdoin, the school is so well endowed that teachers have both a relatively light teaching load and are not under pressure to fund their own salaries. Teaching quality follows. And the faculty who seek out such positions care about teaching quality.[/quote]
