Where is Stuttering John When You Need Him?

On March 20th, John Hitt will have an open forum for students. I have some suggested questions:

Because of budget cuts, would you be willing to take a 12 percent pay cut – this would cover the cost of a new faculty hire in most disciplines – or would it be too hard to live paycheck to paycheck on 400K a year?

Would you consider laying off one of your ten staff members to save a professor from being laid off?

If I get elected to the state legislature, will you give my unemployable children cushy, do-nothing jobs?

How much would a politically connected employee have to steal before you fired them?
