Thank your stars they’re not demanding a private jet— wait a minute, maybe I shouldn’t be giving them ideas…
@GMTplus7, the jet is for the coaches, so they can go see all the prospect across the country. The President of the university doesn’t rank high enough.
A company car is a pretty low level perk in many fields.
I don’t see the problem with a company car.
I ran into the pres of my alma mater as we were both seated in first class (I normally don’t but happened to have an upgrade). He needed to step off that plane and be fresh as a daisy. I have zero problem with it. He’s running the equivalent of a Fortune 50 company including a major medical complex, major b and law schools, major research facilities plus the physical safety of umpteen thousand kids. I assume he makes 7 figures and has great perks and I don’t begrudge a single one. It’s a WAY bigger job than the president of D’s LAC.
