so yes, the top paid guy is the president of the university of chicago. rri: it's interesting. some of the schools with high pay, you may not know them all. but university of chicago, you may know them. so they are paying a smaller proportion of the entire budget. these guys get paid a pretty nice salary and the budgets aren't that high. >> that was something that we looked at this year in particular. the pay relative to budget. leaders are oftentimes astounded by contracts and as you say, at a place like chicago, the budget is in excess of $3 billion. the percentages much lower and that's part of this. they miiht be ranked third or fourth. this was money set aside that they finally got in one ear. gerri: presidential pay going up 3.2%. 2010 through 2011. room and board is up 3.4%. it seems like they are connected. what do you say? >> people try to make that connection. i think that on a symbolic level you are right to raise that issue and you hear that on college campuses. the president becomes an easier symbol of that. gerri: do administrators pay overal

not the university of chicago. the chicago fed. the bank. >> at the end of the day, under the carter administration, they did the biggest study that any other group of economists had ever undertaken. seven volumes of studies on the minimum wage. and the economics haven't changed. >> this is not true. i'm sorry, but this is not true. >> it is true. >> americans fundamentally believe that if you work full-time, you should not be in poverty. >> the problem is pricing. the problem is pricing. >> you and i as taxpayers -- can i finish? larry -- >> if you ever run a business, pricing has everything to do with it. >> rick, come on. >> go ahead, carrie. >> larry, you and i as taxpayers, we are subsidizing this. these full-time minimum wage workers are getting 15 grand a year. they're in subsidized housing, feeding their kids off food stamps. we're subsidizing it. from my point of view, it's better if costco pays its workers enough they don't need public housing, they don't need -- >> i agree with you. >> don't talk to me about costco. >> i

the university of chicago school of business, hardly a liberal lefty organization, has studied the whole state of studies that have looked at minimum wage. they have found the overwhelming majority of them say that raising the minimum wage does not affect unemployment. let me tell you, in this walmart example, you have the waltons who own walmart. six of them are richer than the lower 42% of the -- >> that's not fair, but -- >> all i'm suggesting is that if they shared that a bit with their workers, like henry ford did way back in the day and paid $5 so his employees could buy the cars they were producing, that's exactly -- >> the walton family has created hundreds of thousands of jobs, has done -- >> good for them. >> done. >> what they haven't done is paid them a fair and living wage. >> back to the minimum wage point, because when you talk about employment, i would assume we care a lot about the people who are at the lowest end of the employment ladder, particularly those who have the hardest time, that tends to be historically teenage male minorities. when you raise the minimum wage,

>> i don't know what study yir reading. >> bloomberg economists and the university of chicago are wrongorrect. >> i'm not taking your word for it. >> congress the last time they raised the minimum wage they raised it 2.6% in 2009 at a time when people weren't getting wage increases. six months after that 600,000 teenagers who are disproportionately affected by this disappeared, those jobs were gone in six months. when you raise the price of anything, bob, people are going to take less of it. it doesn't come from thin air, the money that they're using to pay for these jobs. there will either be a higher price for something, like in the restaurant, they raise the minimum wage, what did my parents do? they increased the price of coffee. people went crazy. at these restaurants most people make more than minimum wage anyway. >> what do you thing of the boycott of the fast food -- not the boycott, the strike. don't you think some liberals will be glad about that because they don't want us to eat trans fats? >> i'm glad you said strike and not boycott because boycott is sexist. i have to say t

i'd recommend that you save the university of chicago's fair for dessert.y's home for academia has earned a reputation for producing provocative essay questions, and this year's were inspired by newly admitted or current students who have run their gauntlet successfully. chelsea fine from the class of 2016 suggests this -- "winston churchill believed a joke is a very serious thing. from off-off campus's improvisations to the shady dealer humor magazine to the renowned latke-hamantash debate, we take humor very seriously here at the university of chicago and we have since 1959, when our alums helped found the renowned comedy theater the second city. so, tell us your favorite joke and try to explain the joke without ruining it." not bad for a school often tagged with the reputation of "where fun comes to die." so, good luck and merry christmas. that's "hardball" for now. thanks for being with us.
