Shelton says he is trying to budget without harming the delivery of instruction. Where, exactly, is the breaking point? Can language and composition classes be taught in a 1,000 person auditorium? Can we really justify a system that allows even majors to take the bulk of their classes with hundreds of others, like the science student at the Town Hall who said he's never had a class in his field with under 200 students in it? Is that World Class? With ASU raising class sizes, isn't this an opportunity for U of A to provide an alternative to over-crowded degree-factories? Are we willing to stand up for what we believe in?
“Any way we can stop spending this fiscal year, we have taken those steps.” Really? Why are so many classrooms still freezing cold? Why are there still fresh flowers being planted on campus? Why aren't students being encouraged to help out the university by conserving energy?
Oh, yeah, and by the way, KUAT is a registered trademark of the Arizona Board of Regents. For those of us who still felt attached to the romantic notion of truly independent journalism, it was disappointing to realize this connection.
