Unranked New England Law School's Dean Has An Outrageous Salary

The Boston Globe reports that New England Law School's longtime dean, John F. O'Brien, may be among the highest paid law school deans in America at more than $867,000 a year in salary and benefits.

O'Brien makes more than three times the median salary of law school deans nationally, according to the Globe, which cited a study by the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources.

"Indeed, New England Law could not name a single law school dean in the country who makes more than O'Brien," the Globe reported.

...

Critics have begun to question whether New England is worth its price tag, especially considering only 34 percent of its 2011 graduates were able to find jobs requiring a law degree within nine months of graduating compared to 68 percent at Boston Law School, the Globe reports.

these assholes crowd the boards with buddies and then regularly vote each other massive raises.

When they are called on it (rarely) they point to others (all serving on common boards) making just as much and claim it's the cost required for quality.

You or I could do the jobs of at least half of these guys.

It's truly a bit of genius, they must get together at the country clubs and private jet terminals and laugh their asses off at the idiot shareholders.
