I am a little confused and maybe someone can explain to me what is going on. As most everyone knows there are layoffs at Ohio University because of the budget, but what I am having trouble understanding is that if OU is in such a budget crisis, what was the ad in the Sunday paper for a director of retail for the vice president for Finance and Administration? I think that is Bill Decatur's Office. I think he has a number of assistants, and yet he needs more. There is something wrong with this picture. When he lays off all the people who keep the university up and running, is he going to go clean a dorm, fix an overflowing commode, or clean up vomit in the stairwell? I don't think so. Ohio University is overflowing with chiefs, and we are slowly running out of Indians. I have talked to Dr. McDavis and Mr. Decatur before about other things, and neither one of them has ever gotten back to me. But Dr. McDavis and Mr. Decatur have college degrees, and I am sure they know what they are doing.
