Too many topics, too little time

Campus Cutbacks Hit the Classroom. Many public universities have reluctantly begun chopping away at academics, making it harder for students to graduate on time. By Greg Winter. [New York Times: Education]

i will say that i think that there may be much more politics involved in some of these occurances than perhaps should be.

nonetheless my position is: raise taxes and guarantee the success of the future by investing in education. the booms of the 80's-90's are probably much more an effect of the huge investment in education int the 60's-70's than anything else. of course, comparative funding levels now point toward a much less optimistic future, but you see this is a choice voters can make, they can tell their state governments to pay for education.
