		<description>Funny that these surveys seldom include that of Hong Kong, which to me seems to be the highest. For example, the starting point of a full professor in Hong Kong is HKD75,745/month and the ceiling is HKD100,625/month, and the average is HKD88,210/month. The minimum of a Chair Professor is HKD103,635. The tax is capped at 15%. Yes, I do meant one five. It is for sure the highest salary in South East Asia, and also higher than that in the US and the UK. There are also fringe benefits such as housing allowance, medical allowance, children education allowance, etc.</description>

		<description>Criticism of the article as being poorly argued does not imply that regulation is unncessary - I cannot imagine who would support such a notion. Regulation though also has to be matched by benchmarking, good research, constant monitoring and using good judgement. In some markets that is not possible and so use of an agent there would be unwise.
The fact is schools cannot be everywhere at once but intelligent and apporpriate use of good agents can extend our reach, aid our understanding of students in a given market as well as providing that local touch that many schools and potential students seek.</description>

		<description>KAUST is a fee-paying institution for foreigners, mainly from the Arab world. It is run as a buiness and mixed. Hence there are virtually no Saudi students. KSA universtities graduate 1000s of students every year. Most are not considered capable of taking on a responsible position.</description>

		<description>It is good idea to outsource. Sometimes the important thing is the ends rather than the means. If you learn from what you copy, I believe there is nothing wrong with asking people to do your homework.</description>
