In lieu of uncertainty about future state funding---translation: the recession--- Kent State University (Ohio) has canceled about sixty faculty sabbaticals in the coming school year. The University estimates the rescinded paid leaves saves the campus $500,000 to $750,000.
Man, am I in the wrong racket!
With Phd's to their names I fancy the academics are smart enough to pay for a trip to Venice/Tunisia/Athens/Panama, etc like the rest of us or maybe they'll just reason there's no real need to "research" in those exotic, lush locales and buy, I mean, invest in a bottle of four hundred dollar wine, instead.
