Retroactive reimbursement? But only for some?

Looking forward to the posting of the BOT meeting minutes from August 27.  Specifically, the Board Policy Committee report.  Sound dry?  Let’s see. If rumors are true, new BOT policy reimburses staff who have gotten advanced degrees recently. Since a very specific date. Who has just finished advanced degrees, and is trying to suck the (hopefully) last bit from the trough? Might their last names correspond directly with current and very recent members of the BOT? Will the college (and the rest of us) ever be done paying, and paying and paying, for these offspring who are apparently unable to get or keep jobs without help from dad?

Guys, why not try your hands somewhere else? You might like the feeling that you got the next job based on your skills, in a fair and open search. You might even get hired full time right off the bat. Go for it.
