Yes, this is one problem I didn't bring up in my initial post.  An
example given on TV was that in Halifax alone there are 3 presidential
residences (Dal, SMU, Kings) worth over $1 000 000 each, not to mention
the price of running them.

Of course, this extend out to administration in general.  We are likely
to see (my guess) at least 20-30% of university administrator go down
the tubes as duplications are removed from the system.  

Another problem I thought of is what about the religious backgrounds
of various universities.  Acadia has a baptist tradition (well, at
least the administration does, I wouldn't say the students really
care about this), while others are Catholic, and still others are
non-denominational.  I wonder what will happen here?
