It might be a little different if colleges and universities had used this burgeoning revenue stream to actually improve education delivery and quality.
Dianne Morrison-Beedy left her job as Dean of the
University of South Florida College of Nursing and President of USF Health at
the end of June.
Apparently, there was some controversy at the College
of Nursing as reported by Tampa Bay Times Staff Writer Anastasia Dawson USF
nursing school dean steps down, but reason is unclear.
What caught my attention was Ms Morrison-Beedy's annual salary of
$362,846, which she will continue to receive for a year plus "$50,000 to
cover research and professional development costs during that time."
The average Nurses' salary in the US is based on years of experience.
Less than 1 year $47,841.50
1 to 4 years $53,073.50
5 to 9 years $63,628.50

From
the Wall Street Journal: The average nursing class of 2015 graduates with
student-loan debt will have to pay back a little more than $35,000, according
to an analysis of government data by Mark
Kantrowitz, publisher at Edvisors, a group of websites about planning and paying for college.
Ms. Morrison-Beedy owes her great deal of her good fortune to the absolute greed of those who promote, operate
and protect the student-loan business
and the colleges and universities that take advantage of the easy money.
If you drive to Orlando, you cans see another result of student-loan
revenue extravagance in the UCF Administrative building just off I-4.
It might be a little different if colleges and universities had
used this burgeoning revenue stream to actually improve education delivery and
quality but in far too many cases, it has simply been used to bloat
administrative staffs and their salaries.
If you are a recent USF nursing graduate, a great deal of your college
debt was spent to finance exorbitant salaries for college administrators and to
support an industry that in the last, decade has totally mortgaged the future
of a generation of college graduates.
