> Can't find salary info for UW (the big university).
In most states the salaries of state employees (at least over a certain amount) are available. Since UW is a public school you should be able to find them here: http://fiscal.wa.gov/salaries.aspx
Filtering by UW employees I can see at least one professor making $627k in 2019, and I imagine there are lower tier professors making a fraction of that (some associate professors making < $100k).
