The chair may not be able to pay that much, but it's unobjectionable and, as chair, I would also appreciate having a sense how much work is actually involved. | |
| Mar 25, 2020 at 13:39 | comment | added | Michael Richardson | @s1lv3r The question seems to not be "How much do you need to be paid?", but is instead "How much more work do you anticipate needing to do to convert to, and teach in, an online environment, and how much additional pay is needed to compensate you for that?". The question is about adding additional money to their compensation, not about reducing current compensation because of university "hardship", or as some sort of sign of solidarity with those who have lost income at this time. | |

| Mar 25, 2020 at 10:46 | comment | added | s1lv3r | hmmm ... I would guess that the actual (implied) question of the Chair is more like: "In this unique situation of social & economic turmoil, how much money do you actually need to survice, pay your rent and food?". Answering this implied question based solely on fair compensation for hours spend, may come accross poorly, if we remember that huge parts of the population are struggling for their economic survival ... | |
