In my personal experience, it usually means doing 80% of the professor's work for minimum wage pay so the $140k/yr prof can fuck off and go brown-nose the school Board of Trustees all term.

The Prof might be doing other research too, as universities aren't just for teaching undergrads. He might be advancing science in his field

In some countries doing research is requirement fot being prof.

Or maybe that professor is an adjunct professor and they’re making 40k/yr :(

Tough out there.
