Also he writes, “ One way a state university betrays its trust is by hiring favored politicians with no academic credentials and overpaying them. This practice is wasteful and excludes conservative scholars who might really have something to offer. It also tells us that the university does not exhibit the impartiality necessary to encourage free inquiry.”
“ Key reasons state universities get away with this conduct—even in conservative states—are alumni associations and the popularity of their sports teams. Among supporters of CU sports teams, shouting “Go Buffs!” seems to stymie a lot of clear thinking.‘

According to the same article, Mayock’s hiring follows an addition of another professional leftist to the CU payroll. When fringe benefits are added in, each of the two is being paid more than $400,000 annually!
