SHOCK!!! KOCH FAMILY FUNDS KU!!!

Thanks to A MOST AWESOME TKC READER for this link . . . The LJ World offers this unsexy insight on the huge endowment of the Koch Family funding quite a bit of tea bagging scholarship: "Since 2001, Koch foundations have donated at least $1.4 million to the KU School of Business. It started with a large amount to establish the KU Center for Applied Economics (CAE), a public policy think-tank, and hire its founding executive director, Art Hall. Recurring donations continue to constitute the operating budget for the CAE, which consists of Art Hall, his small office in Summerfield Hall, and an occasional visiting staff member. “Operating budget,” then, appears to be defined as a generous supplemental salary for Hall, who already earns $158,000 a year from the state as a “lecturer/academic program associate,” a non-tenure track position. That’s more than the average state salary for a full, tenured, professor ($118,300) and over double the salary of assistant professors ($71,800)."
