Great catch Sam.

The weinies are just bitching because their precious tenure system is being tweaked and some fats cats will have to get off their fat asses and teach some unwashed undergrads.

Typical libs screaming about "budget cuts".

A Forbes article by contributing writer Steven Salzberg falsely claims that the University of Florida is eliminating the Computer Science Department....The plan calls for no lay-offs of tenure-track faculty. Faculty lay-offs are expected, however, if across-the-board cuts are made in the College of Engineering.

Huh? "The article is false! We're not threatening eliminating CS! We're threatening across the board cuts all across the Engineering School if they don't cut the number of TA's in CS!"

You money or yer life!

It sounds like the main thing they are doing is firing a bunch of “teaching assistants”. Good idea. Make the profs earn their living by actually teaching their courses themselves.

Don’t know the facts, but that verbiage feels like someone’s pissing on my leg and telling me it’s raining.
