For example, should an assistant lecturer in the department of biochemistry, who supervises day-long experiments every week, earn the same salary as his counterpart in history, where no single experiment is supervised?
Should a senior lecturer in, say, in Medicine who teaches day, evening and often at night be in the same salary scale as his/her counterpart in Mass Communication? Should a lecturer with two degrees (e.g. BSc and MSc) earn the same as another with a PhD?
