So I guess we're scrapping departments.
I read an interesting article about Fiction Writing department at Columbia earlier this morning. Like tuition, this is just one of the dozens of issues facing this college as we move to the end of the year. As for tuition, I don't want to pay more next year, but considering there is a 3.6% decrease in income. We're also not moving at the same rate inflation is moving. Then there's the president's salary. I understand that the head of an institution that deals with the 12,000 students here, there is going to be a high income. But the fact that President Carter is making as much as President Obama ($400,000), is pretty ridiculous. Not to mention in 2009, he received a $45,000 bonus. This doesn't take into account some of the other people in the higher administration positions here. If we're looking for a place to take money from to pay for faculty to continue to teach, it should be pretty easy to figure out how to do that.
