I agree with the idea that university should give more money to their teachers rather than spend

her than spend that

money on athletics. Teachers are the spirit oI an university; and high teacher salary will help
universities attract people with capability, help them concentrate on teaching and get more money
back Irom the acquired popularity.
First oI all, universities can only have access to good teaching staII iI they oIIer an appropriate level
oI payment. Potential teacher usually have to invest a lot on their own education. These investments
are in term oI both time and money; and it is obvious that people need Iair compensation Ior what
they gave. Because oI this, universities have to provide a proper salary policy iI they want the highest
quality teachers.
Second, a high salary level Iacilitates teaching. II the money universities give teachers can not aIIord
teachers` liIestyle, probably the teachers will be distracted Irom their main duty. Their time and eIIort
originally intended Ior researching and lecturing will be split to other activities which generate them
additional incomes. Consequently, the teaching will not meet the desired requirements.
Finally, paying high salary is not merely giving away money but also means the chance Ior
universities to get more money. Because in a university with a good salary policy there will be many
good teachers in the staII, students and their parents will expect the best education. This, in turn,
grants the university with the privilege oI setting high tuition Iees. Many students who are willing to
pay big money to study give university a proIit that is way higher than the salary expenditures.
In conclusion, the priority oI budget planning Ior a university should be the teachers` salary. The
university with the most appropriate teacher payment will have the best Iaculty who always Iocus on
their main tasks oI teaching. University also beneIits Irom the reputation that Iavorable salary policy
brings about. The athletics activities should also be invested in though; however they should always
be inIerior to teacher paying.
