University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign — 

In July 2009, the University of Illinois launched a salary freeze for administrators, faculty and other academic professionals without considering how much a person earns in a year, or whether the salary is from the university or external funding or grants. More than 65 administratives in the University of Illinois each make $200,000 to more than $450,000 annually. Since they make big sum of money in a year, the freezing doesn't hurt them at all. The president of the University at Urbana makes $450,000 annually.

Those individuals earn more than $15 million annually, or 2.5 percent of the salary budget for the University’s employees.

I say: "Men, stop equalization when doing bad, and stop discrimination or classification when making profits!"

The GEO membership has voted to authorize its strike committee to call a
strike at any time. The GEO made a formal press release today. Unofficial
reports indicate that the strike would begin on Monday, November 16, 2009.
