The former University of South Carolina “re-branding” manager who stepped down amid a social media controversy back in January has landed on her feet.
Luanne Lawrence, who was hired recently by UC-Davis, will make a whopping $260,000 a year (not counting benefits) as the school’s “associate chancellor for strategic communications.” That’s a nice $23,000 bump from her salary at USC. Also, according to The Sacramento Bee, Lawrence will make “more than any other campus communications chief in the University of California system.”
You know … because California taxpayers can obviously afford it.
Prior to her departure, Lawrence irked Palmetto State lawmakers with a series of Facebook posts casting South Carolina in an unflattering light (which, admittedly, is not all that difficult to do).
“Standing up from the table at Lizard’s Thicket to get to the car is not my idea of an active life,” she wrote in one of the posts, referring to South Carolina’s chronic obesity.
Lawrence responded to the criticism by de-friending lawmakers – and claiming the posts were part of a “social media experiment.”
Oh well … this catty bureaucrat is California’s problem now.
