He still doesn't get it.  Even the reductions he is proposing don't cut the percentage of the total allocated to administration, which was too high when I was attending UAS 30 years ago, and is just as high today.  Cut the paperwork, cut the administration, put that money into instruction.  Cut the number of deans by 75%, reduce the number of departments and require department heads to spend 60% of their time teaching.  Reduce the number of meetings that do nothing by 75%.  And yes, cut athletics at UAA and UAF, which UAS did 25 years ago.  Our economy can recover from the oily slide if we can keep young people here, but if they go Outside to school Alaska may lose them forever.
