As long as we're on this general topic of budget cuts & special interests,
it seems to me that in the last couple of weeks there have been a half
dozen (or more) state universities that have loudly announced that
because of budget constraints, they will not be accepting any new
enrollments or applications for anywhere from 2 to 8 semesters.

This is all fine and good, except I have not yet heard of a single
layoff of any university admission staffer.  I mean if they aren't
going to have anything to do for the next 6 months to 2 years,
why keep paying them ?  Businesses lay off workers when they run out
of work for them to do, why not the gub'ment ?

JMHO,

P.S. Before flaming me about how special and unique their skills are
and how we can't afford to lose these skills,  I have actually spent
time working in a major university's admission office.  With all due
respect to the people working there, they are little more than skilled
secretaries/filing clerks.
