Satire: Assigned research will level pay disparities between professors

Published Jan 25, 2010

There is a great and shameful disparity in pay among assistant professors and full-time professors. The promotion system in the humanities is inherently flawed. It rewards certain professors with greater wealth and prestige who produce more and better research, while it tramples all others. The laissez-faire status quo in humanities research rewards the "haves" at the expense of the "have-nots." It is a grindingly oppressive culture that must be regulated to ensure fairness.

Letter to the Editor: Portrayal of banker taxes misleading

Published Jan 25, 2010

I'd like to respond to Michael Lauck's remarks from his opinion article "Taxes, banks and bailouts detrimental to economy" in Friday's issue. He wrote, "To tax bonuses would be idiotic, unthinkable and downright unconstitutional." Taxing bonuses is none of these things. In what business does it make sense that you get a bonus for doing a bad job? Working for any other business you would be lucky not to get fired, much less get a bonus.
