Stop forcing UM employees to moonlight

Last week the Kaimin printed an article discussing the wages of UM officials. The next day, a photograph of a custodian with the girl she baby-sits appeared. These two features highlight a dichotomy that exists at the University. While Dennison was given a $40,000 bonus, our custodians are forced to moonlight to compensate for insufficient wages. The only way Dennison’s raise will alleviate the stress on other employees is through the trickle-down effect. And we all know how well that works. It works about as well as sarcasm does on paper.

Oops! I forgot to spell! That’s the “Fred Stapleton Thinks You’re A Joke Award!”

You could also name it the “George Dennison Thinks You’re A Joke Award” or perhaps the “Everybody Else At The University of Montana Thinks You’re A Joke Award” also.
