The New York Times reports that the proposed stimulus plan will provide big money to education:
Stimulus Plan Would Provide Flood of Aid to Education
WASHINGTON — The economic stimulus plan that Congress has scheduled for a vote on Wednesday would shower the nation’s school districts, child care centers and university campuses with $150 billion in new federal spending, a vast two-year investment that would more than double the Department of Education’s current budget.
It seems only reasonable to assume "shower ... university campuses with $150 billion" means $150 billion for each campus. But even if it means $150 billion for the entire Rutgers system, Newark, being one of three campuses, should still expect $50 billion. I look forward to the faculty meeting when we figure out how to spend our billions. For one thing, I'd like to see starting faculty salaries around $15 million.

Amen to that!
C'mon, aim high my friend. $18 million, nothing lower.
Any advances on $18 million? I say, $20 million! With a 20% bonus for those involved in the humanties and the arts!
The sciences can get paid on a bell curve ;-)
