Employees at my university camp 3 days for early retirement!
Click here to read the story.
Anyone wanting to retire? Would you camp-out for three days just to get a better retirement package?

That doesn't make any sense!!! Is it first in line gets a better retirement package? I've never heard of such a thing!!!

That is a really strange way to do things. Do the professors and adjuncts have a union?

Being a college professor, that seems very odd to me too. I guess that it is first come first served, and they only have a certain number of "buy out" packages; thus, being first in line is important!

There are only 80 buyout packages. Apparently it's a really great deal and it's first come, first served so they decided to camp out. I think it should be done more fairly, but I really wouldn't know how to go about finding a "fair" way to choose.

They could never do a first come, first served in NYC!!! What do you think, Gina? They could physically do it up here in Roxbury, but it would not sit well with the commuity.
