Anon: Readers of the Lantern: look around, ask around. What department or employee of this university is not being asked to cut something, whether it be people, salaries, materials? We have people making tons of money in the med center reviewing the “necessity” of mere student positions, people who have no connection to the front lines work of the health sciences. Ms. Essig, perhaps this is a story you should be writing in the future.

Totally agree with above post. Our office staff went from five down to two because the “dream team” review board has decided we had too many people assisting faculty and departmental matters. Now there are some days that only one person runs a busy office answering to 50+ faculty. Don’t even think about taking a bathroom break on those days, oh and you better clock out for lunch but be expected to answer the phone if anyone calls because you better not have more than 40 hours in a week. Then in staff meetings we’re given the threat of “you all need to think of ways to work more efficiently” Are you kidding me!
