Kasich Under Fire, From The Right

The Kasich campaign is under fire over what Kasich was paid for a cushy job at Ohio State University.

Just read the first two sentences from the Dayton Daily news:

As a candidate for governor, Republican John Kasich has called on colleges and universities to cut costs and force professors to teach more courses.

Yet for seven years Kasich served as a “presidential fellow” at his alma mater, Ohio State University, in a role that paid him the equivalent of about $4,000 per campus visit.

The Kasich campaign is defending this as normal, but it’s pointed out that Robert Portman taught courses at no cost.

Even the conservatives at the Buckeye Institute are calling this “a perk program for a politician that we can’t afford”.
