There may be a hiring freeze, but UNM is still spending millions on the employees already on the books. We at the Daily Lobo decided to put things in perspective. In reviewing the average salaries for certain jobs, we determined that the dollars going toward one position could fund a host of others. For instance, President David Schmidly's salary could pay for two vice presidents, four professors, six assistant professors, 20 teaching assistants or 57 temporary faculty members.
