I would be interesed in knowing how many staff members, particularly those involved in purchasing and financial management, have left during the last two years. This is strictly rumor, but I have heard that one high-ranking person was locked out of his office and subsequently sent to some backroom office somewhere to wait for retirement because he was unwilling to play loose with the rules, specifically the rules as in state law. A lot of people have stories to tell, but until they are willing to step up and tell them, the public does not have anything approaching a clear idea of what is really going on. It seems to take a huge transgression to get any media attention, but the faculty vote was based on thousands of little ones occurring over a long period of time.
