AK Governor Dunleavy went on a budget gutting spree. Told each selected agency how much he wanted them to cut their spending. The university system spent their time sniveling in hopes somehow the cash would magically show up. It did not. Now the three universities are having to come under one umbrella, which will slash admin by reducing replication. Also there should be a stark pruning of ineffective programs and lecturers. Belt tightening on a good scale.
All because the schools could not graduate much more than 17% of their population in a reasonable amount of time. Or, really, at all. Now maybe the supported programs will be of use to the economy of that state, instead of churning out liberal arts students who would be better served in the lower 48. There are not enough coffee shoppes or carts to support the less technical students anyway clay monroe > I turned my computer upside down and shook it, but the bookmark for what I'm > looking for didn't fall out. > On Aug 8, 2019, at 7:20 AM, Allan Streib via Mercedes <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Peter Frederick via Mercedes <[email protected]> writes: > >> In my experience, the reason American companies have such huge >> overhead costs is due to too many management people who know too >> little and spend far too much time doing everything but running their >> operations.
