Lately The Lantern has been coming out with some good articles on how OSU is really run. Besides bonuses, remember that many of these “Educators” also get “car allowances,” country club memberships, free parking, and who knows what other perks.

Let me be clear: if this were a private company, I wouldn’t be complaining about “executive salaries.” But this ain’t no private company. This is supposed to be a “land grant university.” All of us state employees should be here to serve the public good, not to amass our private fortunes.

Those of us who really care about Education, our fellow Citizens, and our Country; those of us who are REAL public servants, don’t need perks and bonuses to do our jobs. Nor do we need Excessive Ego Stroking from fellow Brahmin to ensure our loyalty.

Many thanks to Ms. Essig, The Lantern, and Patty Miller for these articles!

Oh, and let’s hear it for the First Amendment! (Something our Dear Leadership no doubt wishes it could suppress.)
