Mr. Michael McNabb again provides here an interesting and very topical guest post. He has previously contributed the series: University Inc., and University Inc., Part Two. These have received national attention by those interested in the financial situation at the University of Minnesota. Matters in this area are in disrepair and need the attention of all Minnesota citizens.
On the Cost of Administration at the University of Minnesota
The University is a non-profit public institution whose leaders are supposed to be dedicated to public service and not to the enhancement of their own private wealth. This year the state legislators can impress this point upon senior administrators by making the grant of state appropriations subject to the condition that the budget of the University must include a reduction in the total compensation of administrators to the 2008 level at a minimum.
