Subject: online discussion on budget cuts to technology
From: Scott Jaschik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
The Chronicle of Higher Education is sponsoring an online discussion on
the extent to which technology programs are targets for budget cuts, and
whether they should be targets, as many public colleges look for ways to
save money. An article in the new issue of The Chronicle explores these
issues -- examining the motivations behind some of these budget cuts, and
the views of some educators that these cuts are penny-wise and
pound-foolish.
The Chronicle invites members of this list to read the article and to join
the discussion at:

hemispheres because some constellatins can only be seen in certain
hemispheres.
