Shelton quoted in story about UW System’s Spending on Consultants
UWGB-United President and Democracy and Justice Studies Professor Jon Shelton was quoted in a widely-circulated investigation by WORT Madison on the UW System Administration’s spending on contracts with for-profit consultants.
“You think about how the lowest paid people on our campuses have suffered from these budget cuts. It’s not the full professor at Madison who has suffered from these budget cuts. It’s, like on my campus, the admin assistant who works their butt off and can’t get a raise. It’s the adjunct instructors who, on my campus, make less than $4,000 per course for a three credit course. That pay doesn’t go up. What would those people cost? Certainly way less than what these consultants are charging,” says Shelton.
