Payments for “unused sabbatical leave”

What a creative idea … which should have been entertained for all of 15 seconds, given a quiet chuckle and then canned.
Not so at UMB, where the former Dean’s exercise of imaginative bookkeeping techniques has resulted in a request for return of some cash (maybe with more requests to come) and the most costly expense, just the PR that no university official wants, a legislative hearing on the matter in Annapolis.
One never wants to expose to the public how any campus is itself a microcosm of political intrigue, gamesmanship and, sometimes, shady business practices. So much for the ivory tower. But a “tight” budget year (a characterization that itself is generous) is kind of the wrong time to display this to legislators about to vote on your funding, don’t you think?
