poor leadership - Director Western Michigan University Employee Review

Pros

free tuition as employees, good health insurance

Cons

poor decisions by leadership, made to make those making decisions look good but not benefit the university as a whole. Financially struggling despite public appearance, credit is maxed out, little money coming from state. No strategic reductions just across the board "to be fair". Lay offs occurred at many levels but not strategic. Why lay off a part-time instructor costing $3K but bringing in $40K of tuition? Willing to support athletics for $20M a year but lay-off faculty and staff that actually work with students.
