Rennie column short-changed Rubin

I would like to respond to Kevin Rennie’s comments regarding Rachel Rubin in his article “Kevin Rennie: A Uconn Bureaucrat has a $144k pension. Now she makes $208 an hour in retirement” [courant.com, May 6]. Rachel Rubin is probably one of the greatest sources of institutional memory that Uconn has ever had.

Mr. Rennie neglects to mention that she worked in the athletic department with Lew Perkins, as well as running compliance at Uconn for seven years. She has known many board of trustee members and chairs.

The board made a wise decision in continuing her employment with them, and in utilizing her talents to select the next Uconn president.
