it is very difficult to set a "price" on a course ... between and within
institutions ... especially even within an institution since, workloads
vary and job responsibilities vary ...
it would indeed be an interesting accounting exercise for an institution to
implement ... trying to figure out just how much (say by rank) "advising"
is worth ... "teaching" is worth ... "committee work" is worth .... and so
on ...
it is like places that have tried to define faculty workload by some sort
of a point system ... teaching a graduate leve course = 3 points, advising
a doctoral student = 4 points, serving on a college level committee = 2
points, doing an "independent study" with a student = 2 points ... and then
saying that a full load = 65 points ... or some such number ... these
systems don't work ... faculty life and responsibilities are more complex
than that
