EMU: Budget

EMUtalk.org posts a letter from Howard Bunsis, outgoing president of the Eastern Michigan University chapter of the American Association of University Professors. The letter deals with budget issues, including the cost of hiring a new football coach: “The total marginal cost of hiring the new coach is obviously very significant, and this marginal cost is much higher than the savings realized from canceling the searches of 13 faculty members (which is about $500,000). Maybe our motto should be Education First and Ten, not Education First.” [Source]
