Letter: CVTC sets dubious example

There is a simple solution to the Eau Claire school district’s budget shortfall this year and every year in the future: Simply contact Chippewa Valley Technical College President Bill Ihlenfeldt and CVTC’s board of trustees. The steps have already been adopted, adapted, tested and proven over the last five years.

Hire SunGard/Collegis of Florida (an outsourcing firm). Give all of your employees poor reviews, undefined and constantly changing jobs, and create a work environment of chaos and frustration. It make no difference if these staff members were highly competent, qualified and certified in their positions.

Then lay off these employees over a five-year period so no one knows what is going on. Outsource all of these jobs to Florida instead and later “in-source” several new local employees at higher wages than the previous staffers were paid. Now put them all in the leadership category. It looks better that way, more professional. Oh yes, and change the job descriptions too.

Take all of the work that was done locally to support local students and businesses and send it to Florida. They need the jobs more than western Wisconsin does.

Oh, and one more item: Inform the public that some staff members are undeserving of health insurance. Find companies who do not offer benefits and use them instead. The liability does not fall on the public taxes ... or does it?
