Jane's role in creating them, so frankly have not had much respect for her financial acumen.

But THIS I had not heard before.

Staff, faculty and students “have been reduced to silence and fear of retribution by what can only be described as a pattern of intimidation, spying, and targeting of critical voices,” she wrote.

Grill described a closed and hostile environment, claiming that Sanders frequently yelled at staff and managed to eliminate anyone who voiced criticism. In the letter, Grill claims that “many concerned voices were forced out by continual abuse and by eventually being offered humiliating and unfair contracts in which they were demoted below people who were, in many cases, less qualified for their positions.”

In the last six years, about 40 people have left the school, Grill estimates, “most (if not all) deeply disillusioned with the institution and its processes, most harboring bitterness and deep regret.”


Just And

It appears that Jane is perhaps as tone-deaf and as stubborn as her husband. We hear all sorts of ominous hints from some that Hillary goes after people with a vengeance - something for which there is absolutely NO proof whatsoever - and yet this is how faculty members were treated during Jane's tenure as president. Sheesh!

I had also heard about the $200,000 golden parachute. But a title of "President Emeritus" and a year-long-paid sabbatical as well?
