[Vision2020] [Spam] Should Former Deans Retain Their HighSalaries?

[Donovan Arnold]

Dan,
  
Retirement is different than changing jobs. If someone is  paying into a retirement program, they paid for it, they earned it. If  a Dean stops doing their work, they should not get the same  compensation for a lesser position, they should get the compensation  for that new position.  If we followed this pay structure that  Nick is suggesting, nobody would be a Dean for any longer than the time  required to get the permanent higher pay. In fact, all the professors  could simply rotate the position of Dean, like chair of a department,  to all obtain higher permanent salaries.  
  
  Best,

Obviously nobody read Nick's manifesto.  The question I gathered from it
was "should a professor continue to get paid what he made as a Dean if
he steps down from that position?"  I think it was somewhat rhetorical.

But now I have another question, for Donovan:

Are you saying that a former university president should not be entitled
to the retirement program that he contributed to?

Your pal,
