I was in a checkout this morning and caught a glimpse of the local cage liner. The headline was about the local college facing budget cuts due to declining enrollment. I am sure this is just a play to get more government funding or justify a hefty tuition increase, but my thought was “what gets cut?”. Probably not the agenda positions and programs. Soon we will hear about having to cut the core classes or letting the support staff go. The low income custodians or the Econ 101 teacher gets let go, while the diversity officers and womyns studies professor are protected.
The Associate Professors will be the first to go.
