Question: Shouldn’t President Obama’s order limiting CEO pay for companies that receive federal dollars apply to all who sit atop institutions getting fat federal checks?  Such as OSU President Gordon Gee, who is reported to be receiving some $2 million in pay this year?     

Afterall, it looks like OSU is getting at least $2 billion in federal tax dollars each year. See here. 

TOPIC FOR ANOTHER DAY: I spent some 30 minutes this morning googling and digging around OSU’s site looking in vain for the amount of federal dollars received by the University.  A pretty simple question that any taxpayer deserves to be able to answer with less effort than this.  Then I googled “US Government spending” and found an answer within 30 seconds.  Maybe it was me that just stumbled on the right search.  Or maybe it’s more systematic. My grades: Fed spending transparency gets an ‘A’, OSU transparency gets an ‘F’ (or whatever it is they give for a failing grade today).
