Are Budget Cuts at Brock University Justified?

You tell me. Keep in mind it's these folks that are forcing the budget cuts. It must be nice when you make so much money that you don't need to worry about the front-line employees that struggle to pay the bills at the week's end. If budget cuts must go through, here's a list of some excess salaries that could use a bit of trimming. It seems to me that it would be much more appropriate to cut from these fat cats instead of the teaching assistants who make $20/hr and spend a third of the year on unemployment insurance.

I wonder if these people could survive a few weeks in a CUPE or OSSTF members' shoes. I doubt it....
