So they left the porridge on the table, went for a walk, and it cooled at different rates?

Speaking of bears and issues, according to the National Institutes of Health:

Winnie the Pooh is addicted to honey. He doesn’t need psychostimulants (also addicting) but, rather, rehabilitation and maybe some methadone. His mind is little, not because of shaken bear syndrome, but because the honey is rotting his brain cells. His lack of focus, poorly laid out plans and behaviour (attention deficit disorder), as well as his weight, are also a result of the addiction. He spends his entire day looking for honey, bothering other characters for their honey, getting into trouble because of the honey and even fearing imaginary creatures (the Heffalumps) because he’s tripping on the honey. Look in Pooh’s home, and I’m sure you will find a bunch of empty jars of honey.

You're on the front lines--how does that figure strike you?

I'm not on those front lines, but from what I know about post secondary academia, it seems similar to others in VP positions of large universities.

I could question whether the mere existence of a highly-paid "Vice President and Chief Officer for Diversity and Equity" actually *encourages* lawsuits rather than prevents them?

I regularly opine that MLB teams who sign mid-30s players to 6 and 7 year contracts are making bad investments. I also regularly state that NO PITCHER should ever be signed to a deal longer than 3-4 years because of the inordinate amount of arm injury that is associated with that position.

I also believe that colleges are not managing other people's money well when they toss out 7+ year extensions to their football and basketball coaches-- a HELL OF A LOT can happen during such a lengthy time period.

Does that mean I "hate the free market"? Or does it merely mean that I'm a fan of investing money wisely (particularly when the money being invested belongs to somebody else)?

It means you heart trickle down.
