A tough question! | 11:34 p.m. Dec. 9, 2008
Have you ever pondered on how athletics became so entrenched in our Higher Ed system. This would be a real cost saving feature to reduce these programs. Look at how athletics are conducted in England. Everybody participates, there are rivalries, but the universities carrying little finical responsibility. And to those that will argue "think about how much the athletic programs bring in" I argue "think how much we could save if programs were reduced" especially at the smaller state schools. Anyway look at the Universities Missions Statements. Athletics is not a key point. Is this mission creep or misplaced priorities?

My son's class at the local community college was left without a teacher (teacher abruptly left) in the middle of the semester and the teacher was not replaced.
Whatever the situation, students should not be left hanging. The class should get their money back---if you ask me.
The internet is no substitute to finish a class that really engaged my son's interest esp. the lab that was required with the class.
These young people are our future and their education is a priority. Cut the state personnel at the top before cutting out teaching positions.
