Another bum at the taxpayer trough for life. The University salaries are exorbitant and the benefits are even more so. Why? No one there is worth 300,000$ a years + benefits with a lifetime pension and benny package. These people are thieves that are not worth anywhere near their compensation.

Why is it that only universities have employees who take sabbaticals.
I can just picture telling my boss, "hey, I'm taking off until May. See you then. Have someone keep my stuff up to date while I'm gone"
WTF?? seriously?
