Bob Wardrop: Rehiring retirees saves state money

As one of the 447 rehired university employees, I?d like to share my story. Months after I retired from my position as a professor, I was rehired to teach the same number of sections as when I was a professor, but at a pay rate of about 29 percent of what it was as a professor. The money the university has saved in my salary has no doubt helped in meeting student needs in the face of dwindling state support.
