The piece argues state law and unions support prevailing wages for trades, contrasts trustees' spending on a Chicago law firm Seyfarth & Shaw, and links campus politics to regional economic impact amid debates over not replacing retiring faculty and the Edwardsville preference. It ends with a Pearl Harbor remembrance critique and calls readers to consider broader consequences beyond salary issues.
