Way to go, CSU Board of Trustees. Assholes.

Not surprisingly, the California State University Board of Trustees (or should I say Board of Assholes) unanimously approved a 12% salary increase for University Presidents and executive staff, and a 46% total increase over the next three years. In the meantime, the union is fighting tooth and nail for a drop in the bucket increase for peeon staff members like myself that will most likely amount to less than 4%.

I just can’t figure out where they think this is right. Most of the Board of Assholes have absolutely no experience on the ground in the CSU system, and obviously have no idea the amount of work that normal staff members put into the operation of the CSU system. Those few who have experience in the CSU system must be either trying to help out their already rich friends George W. Bush style, or are just kissing up to their bosses. I can only assume that those few who come from within the CSU system are padding their own wallets too with this increase.

The worst part is that, once again, the students get fucked and the executive staff get their pockets stuffed full of cash. Student fees will increase 10% in the next year, largely in order fund these insane pay raises. As much as I do have a personal stake in this, the people that really matter, and the reason the CSU system is truly here for (that’s the students), are really the ones who should be outraged.
