Maybe you are right Carl. But not from my experiences. I just know how much 
UI screwed me up and how many problems they now have with the law and 
functioning effectively. I learned more at North Idaho Community College than I did at 
UI. It cost much less too. UI like all places has good teachers and bad 
teachers. But UI has a much higher number of crooks than most Universities. 

Carl, maybe you can answer this question for me. Why do the teachers just sit 
back while the administration keeps cutting supplies, materials, pay, and 
benefits for teachers? They have money to rebuild their offices. They have money 
to build new buildings all over the state. They have money for their own 
raises. Even when they say they don't get any raises they lie because they get cost 
of living adjustments, increases in benefits, and what we call "Title 
reclassification", that is they reclassify the person from one title to another with 
the new title paying more, so they didn't get a raise for the position, just 
changed jobs, without really changing what they do. 

So why haven't teachers just walked out of the University? Lots of teachers 
protest. You people are royally getting screwed and you just sit there and take 
it. Why?
