Universities Pile on Faculty Perks as Student Costs Grow http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-...e-on-faculty-perks-as-student-costs-grow.html "The University of Chicago paid James Madara $2.5 million in severance when he stepped down in 2009 as medical dean and hospital chief. Madara, who remained on the faculty, later joined the American Medical Association." ... "Along with low-interest home loans, Harvard offers âshared-appreciationâ mortgages to tenured faculty and some administrators. These loans, which cover only a portion of a propertyâs purchase price, donât have monthly payments or set interest, though give Harvard a share in any gain in value when the property is sold. Stanford and NYU have similar programs." ============================================== Seems like a nice deal if you can get it...
