$1.9 Salary For Ohio State President: Lives in 9630 Square Foot House and has $1.7 Million Expense Account While Tuitions Go Up an Up

Bloomberg reports on the greed of untaxed America:
The Ohio State University President E. Gordon Gee lives in a 9,630-square-foot Tudor Revival mansion that was renovated for him, featuring a great hall, pool, elevator and tennis court.
There's more:
Gee made $1.9 million last year as the highest-paid public university president in the U.S. He also logged $1.7 million in expenses in fiscal 2011, including trips in private jets, country club dues and fundraising parties at his residence.
He's not your average overpaid government worker that higher tuition is paying for:
As tuition rose by 3.3 percent at Ohio State in the 2011-2012 school year, and 3.1 percent in 2012-2013
Attention Republican party: it's time to make the higher education lobby pay their "fair share".
