As mandated by the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act of 1996, you found out what most of your professors got paid for 2011 on Friday. When I went to UWO, this was one of my favourite days too. Learning stuff that doesn’t have too many practical applications in real life (for disclosure’s sake, I was in social sci) is made that much easier by knowing that someday I could teach kids nothing and get well compensated for it.

Some of the bigger and more interesting names on this year’s list include:

• Amit Chakma – President / Vice-Chancellor – $512,600.04
• Janice Deakin – Provost and Vice-President (Academic) – $294,999.96
• Carol Hebert – Dean (Schulich School of Medicine) – $285,520.95
• Joyce Garnett – University Librarian – $165,254.02
