Proud to be a Hurricane? Not so much.
It costs a lot of money to go to this school. I've always assumed that the people who work here get paid relatively well. Not that anyone's getting rich but they do fine, I'm sure, especially compared to lesser-ranked schools or those that are cheaper or state schools.
I realize this is just an assumption on my part, but I think it's a safe assumption that all in all, the people who work here get paid a decent salary and make enough for an adequate middle class lifestyle. (Hey, does anyone actually know how much professors get paid, or what the range is? I have no clue whether they get paid $60,000 a year or $200,000. I'm just curious, that's all.)
Unfortunately, not everyone is so lucky. It is despicable that this institution refuses to pay its employees a living wage. Whether or not you agree with the unionizing effort, this is disturbing on so many levels.
Makes you proud to be a Hurricane, doesn't it?

this isn't much comfort, but it's the same at most (all?) other universities. it's definitely not hurricane-specific.
Awww. You ganna up your tuition to 40K? 50K a year? Stuff that money into your bleeding heart to stop the flow.
This is an institution that pays upwards of $25,000 for each palm tree planted on the Coral Gables Campus. I think the point is that UM should take a closer look at some of their spending priorities. Thinking that a 25-year employee should be paid more than $6.80 an hour isn't bleeding heart, it's just common decency. Ass.
