Love too get an email from the interim president of one's workplace announcing layoffs after the previous president exited her position 14 days ago after being one of the top-paid presidents of similar institutions during her tenure (and don't get me started about the football coach)

LA Times wrote about this yesterday:
Sanjay Madhav, an associate professor .. said that these and other costly ventures were part of a “series of poor decisions” made by university leadership in recent years.

“The administration has made a lot of irresponsible financial decisions,” said Madhav, who is involved in a #union organizing effort for non-tenure track professors. “The regular employees, they ultimately pay the price for the poor decisions.”
