do you realize how huge this is??? …
“Additionally, all university retirement contributions to active employees will be temporarily suspended.”
… no ‘university’ ‘contributions’ means that current (active) employees will be funding their own retirement plans …. what a concept!
why, if this catches on maybe even the taxpayers will no longer have the burden of funding teacher’s pensions! ….. oh, the beauty of unshackling that yolk!
” do you realize how huge this is??? ”
Aaaand loving it.
It’s all fun and games until – Hahahahaha – Libs get a taste of what they have been fomenting:
“WE’RE ON YOUR SIDE! WE’RE ON YOUR SIDE”
Smash!
“WHAT THE FUCK”

You may be on their side, but they sure as Hell ain’t on yours!
Useless, tenured, eaters with liberal arts degrees, pay attention.
“The Investment Office manages Lehigh’s Endowment, which at approximately $1.4 billion is the University’s largest tangible asset.”
(www1.lehigh.edu/investment/)
That’s the “largest.” So there must be others.
The “deficit” of $40 Million represents 2.8% of THAT endowment.
What does it represent of ALL endowments?
More “boo-hoo-hoo ing” while fucking the weakest.
Greasy, greedy hypocrites.
izlamo delenda est …
Lehigh is becoming Lelow…
The rise and fall of the University Reich!
Lehigh is a “private” university so only part of it is funded by taxpayers. I’ll celebrate when universities that are fully funded by taxpayers get the plug pulled from under them. As far as I know their faculty is still getting full salary and benefits.
I keep going back to what Margaret Thatcher said and, it’s true every time: “Socialism works until you run out of other people’s money.”
Sooooo… they had less than 6 mos. of financial viability left, BEFORE Media Pandemonium Virus? 😳
They won’t be the LAST… 😳 😳
I hope Dr. Michael Behe survives the cuts. He is anathema, a non-person, a religious nut, to most of the other biology so-called scientists at that school.
But he is the main guy when it comes to ID. His books are outstanding. I recommend them.
