The University of North Carolina’s “Anti-Racist Graduate Worker Collective” is calling for the redistribution of administrators’ salaries for “worker relief.”

According to the Daily Tar Heel, a memo from the UNC System’s former interim president Bill Roper stated that chancellors in the System can issue salary reductions for certain employees, including faculty and senior administrators in an attempt to help mitigate COVID-19 losses. The Anti-Racist Graduate Worker Collective is asking that this authority be exercised to fund programs and departments low on resources....The group demanded that the “University administration accept a pay cut of 10%, and that the funds freed up by this cut be redistributed directly to worker relief,” including graduate students.

“We are tired of seeing the people at the top get more and more, while we are forced to make do on what effectively becomes less and less as cost of living increases,” the group said....

THIS IS GREAT

[MtnClimber]

The administrators should pay up or shut up!

[JamesP81]

The admin is largely pro Commie. I have no objections to this.

[MtnClimber]

Their jobs should be given to black, transgender, homeless people.

The suck is about to be felt with these commies. For decades they have preached Marxism and are about to be called.

[fella]

Sounds like those Grad students are ready to be sent out into the real world.

[John Locke Forever]

The most overpaid people in America.

But how would the students feel if their GRADES were redistributed? Let’s see...you got an A and you got a C so now you both have Bs.

[rktman]

We’ll see where their priorities lay won’t we. Let’s see, Me or Thee. Me probably gonna win.

Why not go after the endowment? It’s almost $3 billion....

[KSCITYBOY]

yup

[Rockingham]

Call it a first step, with the endowmemt in the crosshairs next.

[Impala64ssa]

For decades administrators and faculty at the diploma mills allowed, if not encouraged this bull💩. Now the proverbial chickens are coming home to roost. Put some skin in the game, hypocrites

[Skywise]

How about we reduce the student employees salaries and give it to the unemployed students first

[samadams2000]

That’s great!

[samadams2000]

I made my boy read The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. He loved it!

[Old Yeller]

Uh oh, the monster is turning on its builder.
