Income Diversity at UK: Lee Todd gets a bonus

While the University of Kentucky is raising tuitions for its students, University President Lee Todd has been voted a $145,500 bonus by the UK Board for the 2007-2008 school year.

I'm really not against giving financial incentives to good people, and Todd is giving $50,000 of it back to the university, but the symbolism of this is not good. This goes into the same file as the State Senate's office redecorating plan.

You are welcome to post at this blog. You are asked, however, to refrain from the following:

1. Name-calling;

The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.

Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
