How dumb can these "professionals" be? So far, the State has informed 7,000 workers they are to be laid off. "On the same July day that the UC Board of Regents cut $813 million from UC budgets - setting in motion pay cuts, layoffs and campus cutbacks - the board quietly approved pay raises, stipends and other benefits for more than two dozen executives."
Then they claim this is positive--a "cost savings" Did these people ever take a math class or an ethics class? If so, they failed. "But critics - from janitors to physicians, whose salaries have all been slashed - said that people earning between a quarter million and half a million dollars can afford to take on new duties without extra pay. After all, they said, they themselves are now paid less money for more work."
No question on this. Every person involved in approving the pay raise should help fund the raises, by being fired. The lack of common sense, fiscal sense and propriety is so high, that any excuse shows the low class of those trying to explain away this theft of public funds.
