It's actually making international news on Monday.A French television crew will be interviewing Marilyn Gilak, a custodian and following her work schedule through out the day.

I can't see this working with the other departments (Skilled-Trades, etc) simply because KSU doesn't employ enough of them in the first place.

KSU has a carton of eggs with only six eggs in it. It doesn't matter how fast they move them from slot-to-slot, and it doesn't matter if the carton is 2 by 6 or 3 by 4. There just aren't enough eggs.

Although this is a nice attempt at reducing the "costs of going to work" for some of the workers, it does not address the underlying problem: KSU does not employ sufficient workers for its needs, and it seriously under-pays the employees it has.
If KSU paid it's workers a decent wage (which it can easily afford), the "four ten's" experiment would hardly be necessary.

Just my $.02
