Wednesday, April 27, 2005Another BureaucratThe College has added a "sustainability director" to its payroll, the Daily Dartmouth reports. The new bureaucrat, Jim Merkel, advocates radically restructuring society so we leave a smaller environmental "footprint."Posted by Nathaniel Ward at 11:02 AM Comments Yeah, but the guy lives on $5,000 a year! That would be trivial as payroll inflation... Posted by Yeah, he only needs $5,000 a year, but what about his staff? Posted by The College can afford to hire a Sustainability Director, and also more teachers for the ed. dept. (four, I think), but there's nothing for the speech department. Man oh man... Posted by Yet while looking for classes for the Summer term they still have a listing for speech...Just nothing contained within. It's a damn shame. Posted by Hey, if the guy can 'sustainably live' on just $5,000 per year, and his staff can do the same (without them wanting to camp out at Storrs Pond all winter), why not, just so long as he doesn't wind up panhandling on Main Street for spare change or pimping his secretaries out to frat parties?
