Rebecca Blank, chancellor of the University of Wisconsin in Madison, the system’s flagship campus, was more pointed. “Although we have not yet seen full details of Governor Walker’s plan, I am concerned about the magnitude of the proposed budget cuts and their impact on UW-Madison,” she said in a Tuesday statement. “… Fully absorbing these cuts would have a harmful impact on our students and their educational experience.”....

Perhaps it is time for Rebecca Blank to take a look at scrubbing the useless and non-productive schools within the university. She could start with ensuring that reading, writing, and arithmetic are improved by putting all else on the chopping block. My guess is that 40% of the schools could be eliminated and no one would notice.

Get rid of departments of women's studies, black studies, LGBT-studies, and other majors worthless for actually getting a real job.

. My guess is that 40% of the schools could be eliminated and no one would notice.

Moreover, at least 75% of administrative positions could be completely eliminated, with nothing but positive results for the academic community. Most of the leaches in the administration buildings and departmental administrative offices do nothing but sap the productivity of the rest of the faculty and staff. And faculty could do much more. You would be shocked and outraged to see the actual teaching loads of most of the six-figure faculty members at major public and private universities.
