Holy Double-Dipping Duo, Batman!

It took over five years, but after tons of investigations and charges and repayments, the husband/wife team of Jacko and Sainfort at the University of Minnesota (also, at the same time, drawing money from, Georgia Tech) is taking its leave of that school.

To this day, UD has no idea why Minnesota held onto these extremely highly compensated people for so long. UM knew within minutes of recruiting them that they were naughty.

UD thanks Bill.

Some are actually suited to their jobs, or grow into them. A few achieve enormous institutional power by maliciously sabotaging honest folks’ legitimate work, which sometimes gives a faux impression of expertise, and by relying for immunity on the conspiratorial relation with the patron(s) who installed them in their jobs.

    Dirtball, in other words. Thanks to UD and Bill for this post.

    […] 2011. Bravo! The only thing vaguely comparable UD can remember is that gorgeous jet-setting pair, Jacko and Sainfort, late of both Georgia Tech and the University of Minnesota. Hart kept the scam going for two years; […]
