Dear Editor,

Nice to see two new administrative positions created, totaling over $200,000 in salaries plus benefits, on the same day that our tuition is being hiked.  I can already see the benefits that these two positions will add to my graduate career.  More over, they were appointed without the normal open job search and advertising for the "best candidate".

If, within his first two months of work, the new chancellor can see the need for two new administrators he is indeed a wise man.  Imagine how many new administrative positions he will be able to create within the next few years.  I need to graduate, talk to all the right people, and get in line for the university gravy train.

Glad to see our tuition money will be helping to keep countless Fairbanks residents out of the unemployment line and secure in administrative positions.  Now if there were just some professors around here to offer some classes we want so we could be "edumecated."
