It feels a bit like being in the eye of the hurricane today. The 'big-five' have agreed on how to draw and quarter their fatted-calf, but the butchering remains to be done. Chancellor Reed and the Trustees have decided who is going to take the hit - and it won't be the Chancellor, campus presidents, Trustees or administrators, I assure you. As a hint: 450K students will suddenly become 400K students because they won't be admitted to the nation's largest university system - and that's not including those who will be priced out because of the 30% tuition increase over the past 12 weeks, and the likely cut of Cal Grants in Sacramento.
