How many state colleges/universities does any state really need after the chicoms, muslims and other undesirables are sent back to their sh$t hole countries?

Fine and dandy. But they also need permanent layoffs. That's how you save real money.

Maybe she just wasn’t very good at drama writing. I don’t think the school can be blamed for that.

Who at a university makes more than $200,000 a year?

Most definitely the football head coach, basketball head coach, and baseball manager.

I do not have much sympathy for our nation’s leftist run indoctrination centers. They can all shut down forever.

The endowments of these colleges is staggering. They build these with alumni gifts but a good portion is gaming the system gouging kids (while turning them into idiots) and sucking FedGov.

And then, there was that time when all the leftists who were all so in favor of shutdowns as a means to “get Trump” realized that perhaps blowing up the world means blowing yourself up as well.

Law school deans, deans of the medical school, some professors of finance and engineering. Probably not too many gender studies professors or even history professors.

If you want a world class medical school, one needs to pay competitive salaries. In the early 1970’s the dean of the medical school at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks and the director of the state mental hospital in Jamestown both made more than the governor.

Coaches are apparently immune to cuts or so it seems.

I was a lowly state and university employee who made enough to sort of live on doing technical jobs. Like many.

Seeing a sports blowhard being overpaid with state money and pulling endorsements is insulting.

Put the coaches on a normal state pay scale. Endorsements they can still get. Private money.
