‘Underworked’ Wisconsin Professor Mocks Scott Walker’s ‘taxing’ schedule running for president (PICTURE)
University of Wisconsin professor took some shots at Governor Scott Walker, who recently claimed university employees weren’t working hard enough, saying the state-hopping governor should refund some of his salary for the time he spends out of state running for president in 2016, accord to WPR.
The Republican governor, who is expected to compete for the 2016 GOP presidential nod, recently issued a proposed budget calling for $300 million in cuts over two years to the UW System, saying faculty and staff need to work harder.
“Maybe it’s time for faculty and staff to start thinking about teaching more classes and doing more work,” Walker told a radio host on Wednesday. “This authority frees up the UW administration to make those sorts of requests, which, I think are needed not only here, but across the country.”
John Sharpless, a former Republican candidate for Congress and history teacher at University of Wisconsin-Madison, shot back by comparing his daily workload to the governors.
According to Sharpless, he works a full 9 to 5 day, during which time he is either teaching, preparing lectures, doing research, attending required meetings, advising students, or managing teaching assistants. MOREHERE
