Last year, I posted several items about people being fired (or at least encouraged to quit) here at the college where I work. This was because of their involvement in unscrupulous activities that were evidently spearheaded by our fired president.
There have been lots of folks that have left the University since then. It is not know by anyone of my close aquaintence how many of these resignations were due to the scandal, or just due to individuals finding better jobs. But, these folks are gone. Following, there was a lot of office restructuring, reorganization, physical movement (I can't find any of the offices I need now), and general confusion.
Now, there is something new. The state's chancellor for higher education retired last year, not long after our president was fired. The new chancellor was unpopular from day one, and his list of enemies is growing. Now the state House and Senate are getting into the fray. Although they can't actually fire the chancellor, they can appropriate funds for a buy-out of his contract, and one bill has been introduced to do just that.
I think I have been going about my career all wrong. If they chancellor can get hundreds of thousands of dollars in exchange for doing nothing...gee...where do I sign up for that??
