In any event, I shared an image last week of a professor denouncing student loan debt.
One reader left a highly problematic response. They wrote:

OK so as a paid professor he can be part of the solution by giving up 50% of his pay to help make tuition cheaper for the 99%, simple.I meant to respond, but haven't until now. This remark is off base on so many levels. Professors are in a losing category on campuses. Overall, they are underpaid and treated with disdain by bloated, overpaid administrations. That's one of the big problems: higher education has been corporatized and professors are also paying a hefty price.
Someone responded to this individuals remarks this evening, and wrote:

He's a professor at a small university in St. Paul MN. He's my professor. He declined a salary raise, but rather wanted the money to go towards his department.
Even if he DID take the raise, I know he would be making far less than he deserves.Bravo! Bravo! And thank you for sharing this information about your professor. I am sure he is making less than he deserves, just like almost all of my friends who decided to stay in academia. Heck, if you look at the picture below, you even got the 1% to applaud you!
