Chico State staff, educators mull unpaid days off

Teachers and staff at Chico State University began a series of chats with campus leaders Thursday about furloughs.

furloughs are unfair to students, just cut salaries 20%. isn't that simply and easy.

[Furloughs are not fun]

Whatever... furloughs are no fun for anybody, just as increases in tuition are no fun for anybody.
But, tell me one rational reason why it be fair to cut the salaries of the staff 20% when we're already taking a 10% salary decrease. Some of us make less than $30,000 a year not to mention a lot less than we were making 2 years ago. Yes, that's the way it is. Everybody is paying the price for the state of California right now... students, staff, faculty and administation.

Everyone is paying the price except the politicians that created the mess. They have been giving their employees big raises and they are not taking furloughs.
