    How has Purdue faired under Mitch? The only thing I ever heard about is how he kept tuition from going up for a while.

      Yes, keeping tuition frozen for 10+ years, but employed Republican “starving the beast” strategies.

      He froze employees’ wages for years. Froze hiring. He combined departments and the leftover employees had to pick up extra work. Scaled back benefits. He privatized (outsourced) departments to out of state and out of country firms.

      Purdue used to pay a little less than private industry, but had stellar benefits. Now it pays a little less than that, and has so-so benefits.
