The dream job I'll never get
I think I'm going to apply. This may be my last shot to get into something I might actually enjoy.
Any advice??
Wish me luck!
If you get the job, take a page from George Costanza and do the opposite of anything Labadie did.
Cant hurt, right?
I'M OUT!
Granted, applying involves using the absolutely terrible 'umjobs.org' site... God, a monkey could come up with a better system.
Well, it's certainly an improvement over what it used to be.
Applied.
I'm waiting to hear back on the AMR/Communications Specialist position, too.
I was about to post this job!!
I am a 3L law student, so I hope the person who gets the job has a law degree! However, I am pretty sure the position only pays around 30k or less, as I recall the same job opening up at U of Texas, when I was a student and student-athlete tutor too. Looking back, it does seem strange to hire a person with a bachelor's degree or have such a low salary. That was Texas, but even now, I probably would love to take this job at Michigan.
The reason why I said I hope the person who got the job has a law degree is because of training in reading statutes, which is going to be the most important thing on the job due to issue spotting.
Good luck to all those who are applying!
$30k per year? I understand the economy is bad but shouldn't this position pay more?
It's going to someone who's done compliance elsewhere with a law degree etc etc.
Made $37,000 according to the salary supplement. I'm guessing if you had a law degree you'd make more. Labadie was making $72,000 after after starting at $46,000 in 2005.

Avg salary according to them is 38k, but I have no idea when the article was posted, so it would make sense there are some places that pay compliance officers lowly, especially if they are inexperienced.
The compliance officer is in a strange position, but I think it is a job under U of Michigan administration, not exclusively under athletics which operates on a different budget, as I understand it. I don't even know if the student athlete coordinator/staff operate under the athletics budget which includes coaches and team staff salary.
Crossing my fingers now.....
I'd be ecstatic to get this job. I know it probably doesn't pay very well, but there's more to happiness than just money. I want a job that I can really enjoy.
