WAIT! Â What am I saying? Â I say, in a non gender-aggressive way, Â screw her!
Terry\'s point.  Well, Barbour did link it more-or-less to the recession\'s effect on the PSLs  (or whatever bs name they\'re giving it), but it IS
disingenuous to ignore they\'ve been addicted to university subsidies to support a larger program than they could afford in a real world. Â Her little dig at the state\'s "disinvestment" in the university system was particularly disingenuous blame avoidance.
The question not addressed is one that is discussed quite openly on the San Jose St. boards, Â how rising tuition and housing costs are
eating up more and more of the AD budget. Â I would think that same mechanism is biting Kal in the a** Â much harder.
It will also be interesting to see what happens when they actually start building and renovating and all of a sudden they really do run out of money with the job not complete.
The part that gets me is the blithe assumption that they\'ve got a $5 million firm floor going forward.  Wouldn\'t  bet on it.  The financial realities putting pressure on their present $9 million subsidy now don\'t go away just because they hit some arbitrary lower number.  If I read the state of California\'s financial condition correctly from afar,  the sh*tstorm is yet to arrive.  Tough to defend women\'s field hockey funding when the proletariat is facing yet another brobdingnagian tuition and housing hike.
