From the San Francisco Chronicle:

UC Berkeley officials have acknowledged misleading the public in the controversial case of a high-paid executive aide who left her job at the universityโ€™s headquarters and the next day began a new job on the Cal campusโ€“qualifying for a $100,202 severance check along
the way.

Why is one not surprised at such legerdemain? And why donโ€™t more people care about it?
