Journalism Award Fishing Friday
Sorry, you won't win any awards with your shocking investigative journalism that discovered that SF spends money on water.
The Chron continues their crusade against paying people money. This time, it's the OMGHUGE severance packages, which essentially amount to a 3-5% higher pay than the number written down. Of course, that wouldn't win awards, so instead they point out the OMGHUGE severance packages that are, well, OMGHUGE because they're 3-5% pay over an entire academic career all paid at once.
The big issue, though, is that the university system is practicing EVIL DEALINGS by "quietly" paying people in agreements that are publicly available. The Chron calls these actions "quiet" (at least twice in this particular article) apparently because no one is tasked with screaming out every government employee's salary from the rooftop of California Hall. Haha, just kidding. The real definition is that you're trying to hide something if you don't pre-emptively tell The Chron. Were you hired without your employer calling The Chron and explaining the exact terms of your employment? Then you were quietly hired under the table.
