Some sense from Southern U....

As reported in The Advocate:

With the state facing some serious money issues, and our constitution being what is, higher education and health care are about the only two places to make budget cuts. Of course, the educators are howling and the rich hospital administrator lobby is lying on the airwaves. EVERYONE hates having the tit pulled out from their mouth.

That being said, some of the powers that be at Southern University are speaking a truth that's been lost on the rest of the state--get rid of the administrators and keep the people who get the work done. In higher ed, this means faculty.

Granted, there will be some faculty cuts at Southern, but there is a recognition that it is administration that needs to be pruned.

This is a lesson that this state needs to take to heart....
