Shouldn't salary be market based, theoretically? Salaries are not based on produced value typically. They are result of negotiations.

Right, but those negotiations did assume face to face instructions. If they don't teach face to face then the terms need to be re-negotiated.

All I am saying here is not that you should push faculty to do things they don't want - just to have everyone understand they can't get the same salary as before if they provide less value as before.

Yeah, agreed. The market sets the price.
