Hiring freeze over at UIS?

Shortly after announcing a hiring freezes(1), the University of Illinois posted an employment ad in the classified section of the Illinois State Journal Register.

One may suspend dissonance by taking account of the fact that during an election year, it is wise for incumbents of offices capable of positioning patrons in such employment, to dangle before the public such golden nuggets of aspiration that yield sacrificial political campaign contributions.

Such behavior is common as evidenced by past state and municipal contradictory and illogical actions of a similar nature. The State Journal-Register reported that the city of Springfield once hired 18 new employees despite facing an 8 to 12 million dollar deficit.(2)

Let the race begin.
