Wouldn't it also be productive to look into a different funding source? Money is tight in all areas of academia these days, and especially in the sciences. Why not try going straight to the politicians there in Austin, they're the ones that control how much money winds up at UT and the College

Amen to that. To those of you who are mad you can no longer park free anywhere at UT, this is another innovation of the current regime: our facilities are underutilized and need to be charged at current rates. So the little guys get nickled and dimed to death, and the state of Texas loses
