Only to point this out....but most of these HR hires...are simply friends-of-the-friends network. So and so is looking for a job in the $80k range, and someone fixes up a new spot in some department with a fake purpose. They hide the person there for several years....then they move onto another university to another fake job.
If you line up all members of a university and look for fake jobs....I’d make a guess that thirty percent of every university staff could be dismissed and you wouldn’t even notice the guy or gal gone. Add to this....each fake job requires another computer, another desk, another office, and another support building.
Democrats complain about big business, big corporate, etc., but nary a word about big education.
