Editor,
I hope the outrageous fact that we pay people six-figure salaries to coach children’s games is not overlooked amid the hubbub surrounding Mr. Locksley’s firing.
It is an insult to our educators (and to our students) that the head coaches of our football and basketball teams receive high six-figure salaries while tenure becomes obsolete, classes are taught by horribly underpaid TAs, tuition and fees rise and campus beautification funds dwindle. Our administrators are failing us, and this two-and-a-half-year Locksley debacle is merely a small example of an ongoing epidemic.
