• MANY OF YOU KEEP VOTING FOR REPUBLICANS WHO PRIVATIZE EDUCATION FUNDING (PLEASE STOP DOING THAT). IN THE LAST FEW DECADES, THE BURDEN OF PAYING FOR COLLEGE HAS SHIFTED FROM SOCIETY AS A WHOLE TO INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS. COLUMBUS KEEPS CUTTING STATE SUPPORT, SO TUITION IS RAISED TO MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE.
• YOU WANT STATE OF THE ART DORMS, SPORTS FACILITIES, AND PUBLIC SPACES. EACH OF THESE COSTS TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO DESIGN AND BUILD.
• WHILE FACULTY SALARIES ARE IN THE BOTTOM 10% IN THE NATION, THE SIZE OF BGSU'S ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN GROWING EXPONENTIALLY. IN FACT, WHILE THE IDEAL RATIO OF ADMINISTRATORS TO FACULTY IS 1 / 3, THE BGSU ADMINISTRATION HAS MUSHROOMED TO NEARLY 1 / 1. (SO MUCH FOR RUNNING IT LIKE A BUSINESS). MANY OF THESE ADMINISTRATORS ARE PAID WELL OVER $100,000 A YEAR, WHICH IS 2-3 TIMES MORE THAN MANY FACULTY RECEIVE. WHO DECIDES HOW MUCH THE ADMINISTRATORS ARE PAID? THE ADMINISTRATORS, OF COURSE, SO WHILE THE FOX IS GUARDING THE HENHOUSE (AT A RATIO OF 1 FOX PER HEN), MILLIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY'S SPARE $200 MILLION ARE POURED INTO GROWING THE ADMINISTRATION, RATHER THAN INCREASING FINANCIAL AID OR RAISING FACULTY SALARIES TO WHAT'S TYPICAL IN OHIO.
WHEN MAZEY TELLS YOU IT'S FACULTY SALARIES THAT ARE CAUSING YOUR TUITION TO RISE EVERY YEAR, REMEMBER WHO'S THE FOX AND WHO ARE THE HENS.
