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

Gender studies professors?

Disgraceful.

Perfumed academia taking it in the shorts all over. The left is finding out that their clamoring for a shutdown has consequences. Falls under beware what you wish for, you just might get it.

Death sentence. Some of the people furloughed are the people who make sure everyone gets paid. The next payday, the President notices he didn’t get paid. As a matter of fact, no one got paid. So he calls Payroll and no one answers the phone because they are all gone.

the shutdowns will end when the elites and gov’t employees (like these university employees) start to feel the pain.

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

You know where UAriz priorities lie when they listed the sub-$50K group of workers first, instead of starting with Pres. Robbins and how he and the Provost & Deans were going to take 50% cuts to protect everyone at $50K and under.

Oh the poor starving staff making barely $200,000 and who will now have to suffer to make do with only $160,000/yr!

Poor folks, what are they going to do?

I can easily foresee them having to cut back on critical basics like not having WAGU steak & Truffles 3 times per week to only 4 times per month!

Since most of them are puke lefties, they should feel the same pain the rest of us *normal* people are suffering.

I haven’t made a dime in 4 weeks. A good liberal who thinks everyone should to be lowered to the lowest common denominator to achieve their vision of equality should be proud to lose his income like I have.

A Provost for Diversity and Inclusion undoubtedly gets a fat paycheck.

Just cut out all the bullcorn agenda courses and it’ll be back to a great school like it was 40-50 years ago.

I understand furloughs/layoffs for the positions where someone is getting paid to sit at home. There are positions like payroll, the people who support the remote teaching software and the people responsible for registration and posting grades/degrees that will be taking how many days off in the next six weeks? At least everyone is being treated “equally.”

They have a medical school. There are probably a few members of the medical school faculty that make that much. They are also D1, so your football coach and basketball coach are getting paid more.
