They also lost $800k on Parsons “fundraiser” event with $850 in entertainment expenditures and Busta Rhymes as surprise headliner

Willing to bet that this is a pattern across higher ed. My own institution is failing, and recently cut 26 sub lines 2 weeks before the semester started, but somehow there's always money for another provost. Faculty, students, and staff always pay for admin's incompetence.

They claim financial exigency, but then turn down $4 million pledges to keep the PhD programs open and disregard financial analyses that point to the real problem—bad real estate deals, spending on consultants, and their own salaries 2/2

Finished grading today. My students this semester were delightful; it was a good teaching semester. :)

Hello? Is this thing on?
