UA President Robbins is paid $954,000. His pay ballooned as he created a budget shortfall of $177 million. The UA also bought him a $1.3 million home, and he gets $10,000 for a car.
Despite his royal treatment,
-Robbins lied about the CFO's resignation (surreptitiously giving her a new title and the same $500,000 salary).
-He allowed security lapses that led to the in-class murder of Prof. Thomas Meixner.
-He acquired Ashford University, with its history of fraud, downward enrollment, and money-losing record.
-He loaned the insolvent athletics department $86 million, which it has not paid back.
-Worse yet, he stonewalls news organizations while pretending to be available for an interview.

As the university finances crumble, it has not gotten what it paid for. I join the many calls for the Board of Regents to fire Robbins.
The university's plan is to start making cuts from the school’s administration. Let's start at the top and kick this incompetent leader to the curb.
