The retirement package for the City University of New York chancellor described in your June 15 news article "CUNY Leader's Retirement Comes With Paid Sabbatical and Teaching Job" illustrates how public university boards and top administrators are out of touch with the genuine issues facing colleges and universities.

Studies by groups like the American Institutes for Research's Delta Cost Project have been documenting a sad trend over several years — a persistent drift in spending on noninstructional and noneducational areas. All the more insulting is that a retiring and well-compensated administrator receives such perks and privileges as a "professor."

Boards of trustees are ultimately responsible for endorsing such bad practices that squander money, hurt morale and contribute little to the mission and service of the institution. If the retiring chancellor really wishes to rejoin the CUNY faculty as a mathematics professor, have him do so at the median salary for his rank in the mathematics department and with a comparable teaching load — no more, no less.
