The rumor mill has been busy this week and the issues are all sadly business as usual -- the UK Way.
Let's start with a simple one. Why is Patsy Todd allowed to interfere in HR's hiring and firing decisions for staff even though she is not a UK employee? Is she also interfering with faculty hirings and firings? Does she get a bonus for this (besides driving a university car)?
Of course, we all know that certain high-level administrators frequently bypass HR in hiring and firing. All they have to do is pick up the phone and say they want so-and-so hired at such-and-such a salary, and that's that.
The rest of us have to settle for being overqualified and underpaid to work at UK.

I have heard that she had HR hire a former teacher of their daughter. This person is in the college of fine arts and is paid well above scale. Also, heard that she got made about some dinners, so has fired people at the Boone Center, possibly including the main chef (and maybe more than once). Does anyone know if these rumors are true? How about specific names of those involved?

Great post! We really do need to have a discussion about the self-styled "First Lady" of UK. Exactly what are her qualifications? And who reports to her?
