Wright State University will trim around 178 jobs as part of sweeping budget reductions next month while increasing the athletics budget by $1.6 million, a decision one faculty leader called “egregious.â€

 

Have colleges forgotten what their actual purpose is??

Sadly, this is our local uni. My dear friend is an adjunct there and he's safe. So far. They initially got rid of the swim team, but apparently there was outrage and it's a big mess now. But they did just hire a new president who gets a country club membership, free car, housing allowance, $40k to move from Missouri to Ohio, etc etc (details here: http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/job-perks-wright-state-bonus-package-revealed-for-new-president/FEx3fp0fAxp4ZdTRjCQ5yH/)

Yes.

 

In Washington, the two highest paid state employees *by far* are the football coaches for WSU and UW.

our local U just hired a new president at a whopping compensation package especially for this area:

hopefully he is big time fund raiser - otherwise the tuition will continue to climb

 

our big time sports (basketball, football) coaches make more but they are paid for by donors

For some reason the link did not work for me. Maybe hidden characters. Repasting what I found:

You mean colleges are not supposed to be the minor league for the NBA and NFL?  I don't think the colleges or the NCAA got that memo.
