Thank you for posting this! I’ve decided that I will email my state reps on every furlough day that I don’t have classes. I’d like to encourage all fellow students to do the same! Maybe if we can make enough noise, we can actually reverse this ridiculous trend of mortgaging our future…
In general, furloughs are on the rise as Robert Reich points out: “At the same time, furloughs — requiring workers to take unpaid vacations — are on the rise: recent surveys show 17% of companies imposing them.”
Yet, the highest paid CEO in 2008 worked at Goldman Sachs. Second: American Express. Third: Citigroup. He alone could’ve closed the CSU budget gap with a pay cut… (I think I am out of links, so please search for Institute for Policy Studies’ “America’s Bailout Barons” for more info on the financial “services” industries’ excesses).
