Fulmer Hired by President

While individual campuses within the UT System struggle to make cuts, the University President has decided to add another member to his staff: former football coach Phillip Fulmer.

In a meeting this morning, it was agreed that Fulmer will join President John Petersen's staff as a special assistant.

According to sources at the University, Fulmer will be involved in fundraising efforts for the University and not for the Athletic Department.

We have not yet been told how much Fulmer will be paid, but the hire will surely create a firestorm among many UT employees who are trying to figure out how to continue operating with less.
