Does anything here seem askew? According to a sports story last week, the UW Board of Regents is about to approve the expenditure of $316,668 for pay increases for UW Athletic Department staff. Will that provide pay increases for 10 staff members, or 15? No, it will go to just two football coaches….If athletics has a few hundred thousand extra floating around, why not re-direct it to student financial aid, or better yet, the state general fund?
