UT officials get $570,000 in bonuses [despite layoffs and lockouts]

[Bill McBlueState]

From the Blade:

The University of Toledo paid out almost $570,000 in administrative bonuses last school year while reducing the campus work force by 300 employees to address a budget deficit.

The bonuses were part of $1.5 million handed out to administrators over the last four years in longevity or performance pay, a review by The Blade shows.

About $456,000 in bonuses were paid in 2008, $111,000 in 2007, and $417,000 in 2006.

...

The bonus pay has become an issue on the UT campus as employees learn of the large sum payments while cuts are made to address budget deficits.

Seems like the state should step in and do something about this.
