All this needs is a way to input a real title and calculate the salary from it.

Bottom line with universities is that an army of various administrators will all make six figures for doing stuff that perhaps anyone could do, but "can't" because having experience in the cryptic and domain specific bureaucracy of higher ed is mandatory.

Meanwhile, they'll try to pay all their developers and IT staff sub $50k yearly only to conclude that poor results and inability to fill positions mean they should have everything sent to Drupal subcontractors. Particularly since nobody's interested in the Peoplesoft/Oracle positions they happen to pay much more for, either.

The only time they contact you: "As an alumni, would you like to make a $500, $1000, or _____ donation to support your alma mater?"
