EAG: ROCKVILLE, Md. – The president of Maryland’s largest community college is taking heat after a television investigation exposed her lavish spending on travel and luxury accommodations, as well as other costly perks.
NBC Washington received numerous complaints from Montgomery College students and staff about the spending habits of president DeRionne Pollard and reporters sifted through her contract and travel expense account to expose how she uses taxpayer dollars.
Pollard, who receives a $281,000 annual salary and $3,000 per month housing allowance, spent a total of $160,000 on travel, transportation and meals since 2013, and an additional $70,000 on private security, according to the news station. MORE
Was Elijah “Rocks in mah mouff” Cummings (D-MD) government issued auto his daughter uses for her Uber biz in the shop that day?
But it’s for the childrens.
It stands to reason that the more money we give to college administrators the more they will do for the children! After all the more money we give to the government the more they do for more and more illegal criminals heh heh heh heh heh !
There is something about money that makes certain people very greedy. They can never get enough of it. Must be the color of it.
Black privilege.
Public Universities and Colleges went on a spending spree when they were flooded with stimulus money and they have yet to come down from that “high”. Additionally, Obama targeted community colleges for extra federal funding and Hillary was pushing “free” tuition. Why not live the high life, with all that money flowing through your fingers?
And meanwhile, college tuition is THROUGH THE ROOF, and what they are charging students for required books is CRIMINAL.
Affirmative Action …
(she (obviously) cares nothing about education or the taxpayers)
izlamo delenda est …
70 K for an armed security guy to protect her in a gun free zone?….and she gets paid travel expenses for her WIFE?…WIFE?….AW JEEZ….
What’s the problem? She is simply following in the footsteps of our Imperial leader and his beard.
Compared to O’Baja, she’s a piker. Hell, it aint her money.
I must need to re-education?
It looks to me as a severe case of Other Peoples Money.
Well hang on here. She’s black, a lesbian and if she has any native blood the college hit the trifecta on affirmative action and she could be saving the college money! Seriously though, what does she bring to the table that justifies that size a compensation package? I wonder whether my trifecta jest is perhaps a little closer to the truth.
@ scr_north….and her ‘wife’ had knee replacement so they’re crippled too….
What I wonder is, how the hell does she have the time to do anything?
Yeah, yeah, I know.
God, I hate these people.
I bet the bitch can’t even spell education. Or write in cursive.
But I is in-titled honkie!!
And in a related development the obama administration is moving forward with a plan to forgive $100,000,000,000 of student loan debt. They are using the figure of one hundred billion even though it is expected to be much higher.
My family lived in Montgomery County for 200 years – seven generations.
I took a few classes there and a few of my siblings got AAs there.
My niece applied to their nursing program and was denied. They said they didn’t have any more “resident” openings available, but foreign applicants could still apply.
Fuck That Place!!!!!!
And there are hundreds of others (overpaid “educators”) out there just like her. Elizabeth Warren (Cherokee – D), got >$300K per year FOR ONE COURSE.
They don’t call it Loco MoCo for nothing.
Starting salary for K-12 admins was 50K. Back in the 90s. Now, the money supply is admittedly a captive one (+ all that stuff about ‘accountability’, whatever that is, right?), but man, the pickings at the college level are much more varied, ripe and richer.
@ MAJack, the outrageous salaries are just the delivery method for the lethal stuff; benefits and unfunded pension liabilities.
Then there’s this:

Everyone realizes, of course, that “… plan to forgive $100,000,000,000 of student loan debt” means that the taxpayers get fucked … again.
izlamo delenda est …
Black/Lesbian privilege.
