This just goes to show how little the leadership thinks of the people who actually keep the university and hospital working. Those of us who deal with students, patients, keep the grounds looking beautiful, keep everyone safe, keep the computer systems up and working and safe from attacks, and do all the grunt work to keep everything moving smoothly get nothing. Getting no raise this year affects our pensions. We already get a measly 2 percent COLA from OPERS after we retire, no matter what the actual COLA is. Dr. Drake gets $200,000 into his pension? How about putting some extra money into our pension fund. We are losing our pension funded health care because OPERS can’t keep up with those costs – and he doesn’t even work here anymore. And leadership wants to know why there is a morale problem?
