The [Tuesday] Papers"Columbia College's restive part-time faculty union lobbed another shell at the administration today, contending that members receive only 13 percent of school wages and salaries, despite teaching nearly half of all classes," Crain's reports. "The union known as P-fac issued a no-confidence vote last summer in President Kwang-wu Kim, who is struggling like many college leaders to balance budgets amid declining enrollment and other financial headwinds, which in Illinois include the state budget mess. "P-fac said it hired a CPA firm to do the math. Part-time faculty salaries totaled $13.3 million, it said, about 6 percent of Columbia's fiscal 2016 budget of $207.7 million. The union said 1,470 of 3,065 assigned course sections were taught by part-time faculty in spring 2014." Not only is that unfair to part-time faculty, it's unfair to students. Lucas Mucus Landings Of The Free Friday, a union trying to organize airport workers says she and a fellow security officer have been fired for comments made to the media that their employer says revealed sensitive security information. I'm glad to see the city and its contractor so on the ball when it comes to protecting our freedoms. Ken Skunkin' "Dunkin broke rank with fellow Democrats last year in their standoff with Republican Governor Bruce Rauner. "The primary that followed drew more campaign dollars than any state-legislative race in Illinois history, and a group tied with Rauner gave Dunkin's campaign $1.3 million. "Now, records show that Dunkin's campaign didn't bother to spend about $1 million from those donations. That money has stayed in his campaign fund." I believe the story was first reported by the Illinois Observer. I wonder if Dunkin knows that - unlike in the old days - candidates/officeholders can no longer convert what's left in their campaign funds to personal use. And, as many others by now (I'm late to this) have noted, are the donors (or donor singular) upset that Dunkin didn't spend down the account in an effort to beat back the Michael Madigan-backed Juliana Stratton? Did Dunkin simply know he couldn't win no matter how much money he spent? And what will he do with the money now - how will he leverage it? My guess is he'll spend it in whatever way gets him back into the good-enough graces of someone who will then help him secure his own financial future. - Forrest Claypool [Hearts] Ayn Rand The Fallacy Of How The Cubs Were Built Chicago's Poetry Pulitzer Hyde Park HS Grad On Nuclear Sub - BeachBook How Tobacco Companies Led A Devastating 50-Year Infiltration Into Black Communities. * Meet Politico's Business Model. * Binny's Expansion Into Indiana Thwarted By State Liquor Law Changes. - TweetWood
