Re: "Bataille's surprise exit forces UNT to pay big -- Deal gives president $723,000 for contract, option to work in Denton," Saturday news story. University of North Texas President Gretchen Bataille resigns because she apparently can't get along with the administration, but receives $723,000 for the remainder of her contract and has the opportunity to collect $289,000 more in the 2010-11 school year for research and teaching. No wonder UNT needs to raise tuition. John G. Payne, Flower Mound CommentsE-mail entry: |
UNT has been raising tuition and cutting programs fairly consistently since 2003 when large cuts were made education funding.
A bureaucrat getting essentially fired brings me joy, I say hit the bricks yankee, they'll find some one else to keep raising UNT's Tuition. Why a bureaucrat get's the boot don't matter to me. There a necessary evil, but still evil. College is were ambitious, smart and now a day's slightly desperate people go. Any college admin taking a boot in the ass is good, cause college administration is about $$$$.
Tuition is going up all across the state because YOUR legislators continue to refuse to fund higher education at adequate levels. Don't blame Bataille.
