Former failed Obama Administration hack Janet Napolitano is now the president of the University of California.

In continuing with her failure as a leftist, she decided to raise the minimum wage at the university to $15 an hour.

As usual, things aren’t going to work out so well as one professor is finding out.

FromTwitchy:

University of California President Janet Napolitano announced today that the minimum wage of thousands of workers on UC campuses across the state will be raised to $15 an hour over the next three years. Good news? Apparently, yes … but there’s a “but.” University of California, Irvine physics professor Asantha R. Cooray is sad because he won’t be able to afford as many research assistants after the wage increase goes through:

Napolitano raises University of California minimum hourly wage to $15. It’s a good thing but I cannot pay $15 to my undergrad researchers! — Asantha Cooray (@acooray) July 22, 2015

He also somehow believes HE should be the exception and not have to pay those undergrads that much more.

@acooray UC needs to create an exception for student researchers or we’ll have issues staffing labs with student researchers — Asantha Cooray (@acooray) July 22, 2015



Of course, he has a solution. Have the taxpayers pay him even MORE!! The NSF refers to the National Science Foundation, a government organization funded with your tax dollars!

I now pay six undergrads/year starting at $9-$10/hour with raises maxing out around $13 as seniors. At $15 it’ll be 3-4 students. — Asantha Cooray (@acooray) July 22, 2015

@Rand_Simberg probably. If NSF follows the lead & increase REU stipends amounts to match $15/hour then won’t be an issue but unlikely soon. — Asantha Cooray (@acooray) July 22, 2015



The guy proves he’s clueless by being all FOR raising the minimum wage until it affects his own ‘business’ of research.

Of course, he isn’t investing his own money, his using taxpayer dollars.

And yes the people responded:

@acooray Why should you get an exception? You should be protesting the terrible policy itself. — Rand Simberg (@Rand_Simberg) July 22, 2015

@acooray do you seriously not see the idiocies in your own logic? — Dave (@bigdave323077) July 22, 2015

@acooray Fascist laws for me but not for thee? — Jor El (@JorElishere) July 22, 2015

@acooray for a college “professor” u sure are stupid – what did you THINK would happen when the min wage was raised? economics are hard eh? — ThewlynOh (@ThewlynOh) July 22, 2015

Should we get the world’s smallest violin out for this clueless professor?
