What I am waiting for is for some State legislature to direct university presidents to compile two lists.

The first list is for courses that are entirely elective, and not essential to any major course of study. And the second is a list of majors, and how many graduate placements for those majors in their field within six months after graduation.

Just compiling these lists should be highly entertaining. But what will be more so is when the university president is required to eliminate 50% of the first list, and the bottom quarter of the second list.

As far as students taking those majors, they will be informed that the university is no longer offering them, so they can either change majors, or they need to transfer to a different institution still offering that major.

A year ago, Nevada's legislature needed another special session (it meets every two years) to cut spending to match reduced revenue. At that time, the governor told UNLV regents and president to come up with 30% in cut for this session. They submitted an increase!!!
