CARBONDALE - Several Southern Illinois University Carbondale faculty and staff members publicly blasted campus administrators on a number of issues during the board of trustees meeting Thursday.

Board members met in the SIUC Student Center and heard allegations against Chancellor Walter Wendler and several other top administrative officials on the Carbondale campus, related to breaches in shared governance, boosting the salary of the head football coach, and coordinating or abetting bullying of certain faculty.

Trustees approved a 14 percent pay increase to football coach Jerry Kill, raising his annual salary from $144,216 to $165,000. This is the second pay increase Kill has received in as many years from the administration.

Officials have described the action as a pre-emptive measure to keep Kill, who was named NCAA Division I-AA coach of the year for 2004, at SIUC. After the meeting, Wendler said Kill was entertaining offers from other universities but would not elaborate on the details.

1. Sounds like....

the same situation we have here at UCF. Our football coach has a miserable record but earns close to 1 million dollars and they want to build him a state-of-the-art stadium yet our students go begging.

2. Mobbing is a pastime for kool-aid patsies. I becomes a full time

pastime (and a tool of the sociopaths at the top) when you allow a sociopath & his cabal (bush would be part of the cabal not the 'leader') to be in control of your country.
Look for all enemies of the rovbots to be mobbed and coerced into silence.
