The real issue is whether there can be extended administrative leave that exceeds what's set by ... I forget if it's contract, regulation, or statute. Then again, most of the time admin leave is punitive so this is arguably just to prevent abuse of employees by their managers.

There's no separate pool of money for the "buyouts".

Lately either NPR central or a lot of syndicated shows that air on "my" local NPR station have taken up the incorrect terminology.
