I wonder if Machen will forgo his bonus this year- his bonus is more than 99% of the faculty make in a year.

The UAA wouldn't exist without the U. With three national championships under our belt recently, I would expect the UAA to help out here.

The UF documentary institute funding cut was $200,000 in state funds. The entire College of Journalism cut was $580,000. Four full time employees of the doc institute, including two tenured faculty, and two others, remain there.

Did they layoff Mike Hairdopolos, the non-lecturing "lecturer", or did they lay off real professors?

Hiring the $3.2 million-dollar man to coach football made it clear the UF wishes to become a jock school. LSU, this year's BCS Champ is a low rated academic school, coming in as a Tier 3 school. Thanks to UF's continue fall in the ranking perhaps they might catch LSU soon!
Sure

Top hiring recruiters couldn't care less about the successes of the sports teams. You do not see Harvard, Yale, MIT, or Princeton caring about the success of sports.

Sadly, it is usually middle-aged white men that revel in the success of the mostly African-American players.
