According to The Daily Tar Heel, the UNC Retired Faculty Association approved a reso- lution to offer their services free of charge in order to help minimize the impact of budget cuts on students.

YALE UNIVERSITY TO FIRE UP TO 300 STAFF TheYale Daily Newsreport- ed that Yale University may lay off as many as 300 employees in an effort to cope with the current economic situation. Officials at Yale told the' Yale Daily News they are planning to double severance benefits for all employees let go, which would provide two weeks of full pay for each year of service to the university up to 26 years. Yale still expects a $100 mil- lion budget deficit expected for the 2010 fiscal year, according to the Yale Daily News. WISCONSIN DOCTOR TAKES FIRE ON LARGE ROYALTY PAYMENTS Dr.ThomasA.Zdeblick,chair- man ofthe University ofWiscon- sin'sDepartmentofOrthopedics, has come under heavy criticism when it was reported recently thathe collected $19.4 million in third party payments from 2003 to 2004. The report by The Chroni- cle of Higher Education cites the figures, which outline the payments Zdeblick received from Medtronic - a medi- cal company that supplies the spinal implants that Zdeblick invented. Many critics, including Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), admit there is not definitive evidence of any wrongdoing on Zdeblick's part, but say the shortage of evidence on either side is part of the problem, according to the Chronicle. Medtronic told the Chronicle the payments were legitimate r royalty payments on inventions belonging to Zdeblick.
