To the Editor: BGSU should use in-house experts

0

Yesterday’s "Timing of BGSU bonus wrong" suggested that $50,000 could have been saved.
It also mentioned that "the price tag for the consultation was just shy of $500,000." This very
large consultation expenditure could easily have been saved. As a BGSU faculty member since 1980, I have
gotten to know many colleagues whose knowledge, skills, and accomplishments are truly impressive. Such
consultation can, and should, be done in-house by our talented BGSU faculty who have the requisite
expertise. Consequently, outsourcing such consultation is not prudent fiscally or collegially. That the BGSU
administration does not choose in-house consultation is quite puzzling, disturbing and unnecessary.Jeffrey
