Yes, thanks indeed to Saundra for her research on UI salaries. Now we ca=
n all play administrative poker. =20
Let's see: we have six assistant football coaches for a total of $304,386=
, and, to be honest, not much to show for it. So, I'll bid three of thos=
e, which seems more than ample, and raise you one award-winning ceramicis=
t and an art historian. In my hand, I have the continued health, reputat=
ion, and academic integrity of the University of Idaho. In yours, you ha=
ve a full (nut) house of hangovers from the Hoover administration: one ex=
ecutive director of planning and budget at $121,118, one golf pro at $60,=
008, and three mid-level hatchet folk at $84,864 each. =20
How long, if you're the administration, do you think you can bluff? Unti=
l Timothy White-Hat gets here and cleans up Dodge? Too bad -- he told th=
e Daily News this week that he doesn't believe in "looking back" and that=
, despite the fact that he's not yet on campus and actually figuring out =
what this place needs, he won't be revisiting any of the whack-job decisi=
ons made by the outgoing interim administration. If that's the case, my =
question is why, then, is White coming here? The game is rigged. Gary M=
ichaels has cards up his sleeve, and Wayland Winstead has taken his boot =
off so he can pass an Ace under the table to Ikon.
Instead of diplomas, I suggest the UI start passing out prints of "Dogs P=
laying Poker." They can buy them for five bucks, framed, from the "Art" =
bin at Tidyman's; right there, sandwiched between the Walter Keenes and t=
he Thomas Kinkeades (TM). Without the opportunity to take art history, g=
raduates won't know the difference, and we'll have preserved in amber Gol=
f Management for the Ages.
"It's a Cinderella story. From out of nowhere, a former greenskeeper, ab=
out to become the Masters champion. He's got about an 8 iron. It's in t=
he hole! It's in the hole!"
