Holy fucking crap.

I think I'm just going to repress this knowledge that stuff like this even happens, lest I despair for the future of humanity.

In addition to the original complains Conney had against the school, it was discovered during court proceedings that her UCLA department had a secret reserve of money that they used to supplement the salaries of male faculty members only.

Please tell me I have a reading problem, and that this doesn't really say what I think it says.

I've worked for two universities, one as a researcher, so I know what kind of big happy families they tend to be. But, hey, once you get past the sexism, academic egotism, turf battles, intellectual dishonesty, backstabbing, and total failure to remember that the (theoretical) whole point of the institution is to educate, the rest is pretty nice.

Of course, this never happens anymore in our modern, enlightened society.
