"The Sky is Falling, The Sky is falling..." The school board is self-serving, the private sector has had to cut back and will continue to do so to survive. The entire VC school system needs to follow suit and realize it takes less to do more, esp those slackers at the top. You know who you are. The staff could be halved and made to work for a living like the rest of us.

One thing is certain, keep giving the VC schools money now, and they'll be back asking for more to accomidate self-interest in the future. They are the biggest employer in VC, and seem content to stay that way, regardless of the state of the economy.
