Oh my gosh don't get me started on that.... No we just elected a governor whose main platform was to increase budget for Education ... guess what one week into office and universities in the state have to pay money back to the state. Our larger universities had to give back in the range of 20-30 million dollars down to us the smallest who had to give back 4 million. This year he has asked for the universities to give back an additional 3% more. Not a good idea but thanks for suggesting.

If KY is anything like IL, the mantra seems to be, "The more money we spend per student, the better the education they will get." I.e., "education" is _THE_ sacred cow. I'm probably just overly cynical when I recognize a difference between "providing an education" and "educating". -jc- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
