No, I am saying there are professors receiving $200k with perks. An adjunct position isn't supposed to be a full-time long term position, so why should it be paid as such?

Except that the common practice for colleges and universities now is to use them as full-time, long-term, lower-paid, reduced-benefit positions, and this trend is growing as adjunct positions are growing at a faster rate than tenured and tenure-track positions.
Whether adjuncts are poorly paid on a short-term basis is surely irrelevant. People should be able to live on their incomes and cope with illnesses without becoming destitute.
