St Petersburg Times: Strapped colleges are paying double-dippers
TALLAHASSEE — At a time when universities are capping enrollment, cutting staffs and losing faculty members to other states, more than 475 employees at state universities have “retired” and returned to the payroll.
On top of state retirement benefits, they are collecting salaries of about $23-million.
Double-dipping among university employees is similar to what has been happening in the rest of state and local government, where 8,000 public employees and elected officials are double- and even triple-dipping.
