A continuation of the analysis of the current situation in Illinois by WirePoints:
FACT 10
10. University administrative bloat. Illinois’ public universities went on an administrative hiring spree between 2005 and 2015. The number of administrators employed grew by more than 25 percent even as faculty hiring stagnated and enrollment actually shrunk. Illinois’ Senate Democratic Caucus condemned the bloat in a 2015 investigative report: “At the same time tuition and student debt are rising at a breakneck pace, the administrative systems of public institutions have expanded into sprawling behemoths.” (See number 16 for the rise in college tuitions.)

Per Open the Books, the 2017 pensionable income for Dr. Carbel is $1,662,936.
That’s $1.6 million dollars.
e: “the 2017 pensionable income for Dr. Carbel is $1,662,936.”
One term I see used frequently is relative to the amount of money a public sector employee puts in her / his pension account.
“Amount of teacher contribution to pension is increased”.
What a hoax!
The Teacher contributes $0.00.
YOU the taxpayer fund every penny!!
Just like you fund every penny of the compensation for the County Board Chair: $108,872.16
BTW the bully gave himself a pay increase this year $2,500.
Question for Mr. Kenneally: Is that legal?
If illegal, is McSweeney working on legislation to make it legal?
