Texas & California: Austin should watch how much higher education gets cut
The story that caught my attention today is the one in the Wall Street Journal about the University of California system cutting $500 million from its operations. The story also contained some pretty astounding stats about just how much has been cut from the UC system over the last 20 years. (One fact: From 1990-1991, funding for higher ed in California dropped twice as fast as it declined around the nation.)
This time, the cuts apparently will come from various administrative expenses. I certainly hope that is true, because I have no desire to see UC students or professors get hurt. They are the core product, so to speak.
