Pros

It allowed me to grow professionally. Great colleagues and great state benefits. Great Chancellor- Dr. Motley. Currently they are building great facilities.

Cons

Because it is state, we were limited how much we can compete with world class universities. No dormitory but they are about to build one in the near future

Pros

Good people and 1 month vacation to start for professional union workers.

Cons

Chancellor Motley made $379,390.00 in 2014 according to the Boston Herald paid by the US tax payer. Can someone explain why he makes almost as much as the president of the united states which is $400,000 in 2014. Very wasteful spending and overpaid unneeded positions. Also all union employee's get 1 month paid vacation to start and Massachusetts residents want to know where all their taxes go.
