...Able educators quickly turned away when they heard the UMass emoluments; full professors started at $6,812 per year, and could earn a legal maximum of $8,684, slightly less than half the comparable salaries at Harvard. But a larger issue encompasses many of the UMass problems: How much control should the state government exert over its land-grant college?

Wrote Hector: "The agencies are long on judicial form and short on judicial substance." He advised transferring the CAB's policy-making functions to an executive department and setting up a court of experts with...
