Covering the business of education and training

And we wonder why universities everywhere cannot balance their budgets.

A French tax official created a phantom identity and collected a salary for 15 years. 

"I think that I shall become a university professor," he said while holding his calculator. "Maybe I can teach accounting."

For 15 years, the French dude collected a salary -

That's $65K a year for doing nothing...for 15 years.

The guy should be paid/awarded something for showing France's Education Ministry how big a hole they had in their accounting process and for how long they had it.

Besides...you don't hear any of his students griping about his classes or giving him an undesirable evaluation.

The French Budget Minister of the Education Ministry said, "desired action to be undertaken urgently to prevent a recurrence of an abuse of this kind."

Uh..yeah. I think so.

I wonder how many professors there are on the payrolls of American universities getting a salary for doing nothing.

Oh...that's called tenured!
