drops the bombshell that Architecture professors are some of the highest paid educators out there, making an average of $95,723/year...
Associate professor $73,319
Assistant professor $60,181
New assistant professor $58,935
Instructor $50,040
So does this include landscape architecture and planning faculty too?
but why did the huffington post choose to show Frank as the archetypical architecture professor?

Hmm, what bombshell? Seems like archinect is intent on keeping the starving architect image alive.
^ agreed.
The article is quite inaccurate considering the difference of architecture education vs. other disciplines. The percentage of "instructors" or critics, ie. people who get paid a very small amount of money and do a lot of work is way higher than full time faculty, compared to other disciplines. Architecture Schools rely heavily on those people who fall into this rather naive "teacher-practitioner" category. So. sure, a handful of full time faculty might get paid a similar amount of money to an engineering professor, but that person is such a small fraction of an army of educators who work their asses off and get paid so little. So amongst those of us who teach, teaching architecture is a "hobby" and not a job.
GO, agreed. Those people are doing the most interesting teaching as well. It is quite slavery out there with the shitty economy. How about 6-7K a semester Huff?
Like some have said, there are not that many full professorships at any given school. Most are assistant or associate, so it is rare that people get into the high end of the pay scale.
