Our senior management's unwillingness to support a living wage is further evidence of the corporate paradigm they apply to the staff and students of the University.

McCutcheon sees students only as a means of income and the working staff, only as a means to an end. While he earns over $660,000 a year, a significant proportion of our staff earn less than the living wage.
