I do not know what is the NL equivalent but the Canadian province of Ontario has a disclosure law so the names and salaries of public employees earning above $100k (in Canadian currency) are published every year: see ontario.ca/page/… You can filter the search to universities and the list of loooong. There is no reason to suggest these are uncompetitive with or wildly more than the rest of Canada or North America. | |

You can look at the table in this Wikipedia article (from 2014) and tell me if academics are "very well paid", if you take into account that professors are hired after roughly a decade of studying and several years of professional experience, with heavy competition at every stage. Someone working outside academia with similar qualifications, experience, and responsibility will earn a ton more. | |
