When I come back in my next life, I want to come back as a corrupt academic in a University President’s job. What a sweet gig that is. Benny Ladner, in addition to getting to keep the stuff he used University funds to pay for, gets over $3 million in severance. Wow. What a fucking golden parachute that is. Apparently, he was pushing for almost twice that.
You have got to be fucking kidding me. $6 Mil? For embezzling shit from the university and using university funds to pay for your personal parties and travel junkets. Boy, it must be reeeeeal nice. Of course, when he left, he sent this jewel of an email:
“Nancy and I will always regard the opportunity we had to serve American University for eleven years as a great honor and privilege. We are especially grateful for the quiet but strong support expressed by so many friends, colleagues and students.”
Translation: Thanks suckers!
If I were a student at American, I’d be really, really pissed off that their tuition money was going to this asshole’s pockets

I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
