If the value that your lecturers offered to you was that they stood there and recited course material then you are right. Also your university has done a bad thing.

For me the value of lecturers is that they respond to the needs of the group they are teaching and to the individuals on the outliers of the group. That interaction is what changes the educational trajectory of students from fail->pass and from pass->excel.

I find it hard to harden my heart to the idea that people who work to do that should be ill rewarded for the effort.
