You are right VB, that was exactly my point above about Kaler. She was one of the few UofI admins to put the interests of the university and Illinois taxpayers above her own self-aggrandizement. She immediately recognized that Gollum was a loose cannon whose sleazy little "hobby" eventually was going to land the university in hot water. The clowns who ignored her are now drawing pensions and the people of Illinois will be paying through the nose yet again for their management blunders.
Gollum and his ilk seem to think a university is just a big, taxpayer-financed Romper Room, where everyone gets paid to do whatever makes them feel good and promotes their self esteem. Illinois taxpayers need to demand that the university fulfill its obligations to the taxpayers first, by making the admins run a squared away higher education operation and not a nursery school for bored 56-year old socialist numbnuts. Item 1 on the agenda should be to minimize litigation risk by firing Gollum and hiring a real physics professor.
