Congrats, you did the math correctly. Can we (the taxpayers) get our 90k back? Because if his salary was 90k less, or 160k, I am sure that the state would still have many qualified candidates to choose from.

There are no students living there for 24 weeks out of the year. It is a ghost town during that time.

Unbelievable...

I'm doing the math in jest.

Is it an easier job than the Chief of NYC? Probably.

Are there are much bigger fish to fry in terms of a states economy than the chief of police at the states largest public university.... absolutely.

No, not probably. Certainly. By many orders of magnitude. One guy has 34,000 employees, one guy has 30. One guy has 8 million residents to protect, one guy has 20,000 residents for 60% of the year,and zero for 40% of the year. One guy deals with murders every single day, one guy has a murder every 10 years.

True, and many of the problem areas will have the same cause...public unions, in bed with democrats who give the unions a blank check in return for campaign support...
