Yesterday the WSU Board of Regents met at WSU Tri Cities in the CIC building where Laurel Piippo of Richland, a self proclaimed “cranky taxpayer,” criticized WSUs spending. Piippo gathered several pages of signatures from citizens who feel the same way. She complained to the board about the part time history professor who was relocated to WSU Tri Cities and is getting paid $245,000. Piippo also took issue with the fact that WSU President Elson Floyd has been promised $500,000 in deferred compensation if he chooses to stay at the university through 2012. President Floyd defended his decision to keep the history professor at WSU Tri Cities because it shows that WSU cares for their branch campuses by assigning world class scholars and researchers to them. The Board of Regents will be meeting again today and Laurel Piippo is planning to be there with protest signs.
