The Virginia Fracas

I came across this interesting article on the WSJ covering an uprising at the University of Virginia.  From what I glean from the article here is that the University President was fired due to not following through with the trustee's plan to reduce costs.

I'm sure that UV is not the only university or college that finds itself in such disarray.  With the economic recession and lack of a robust recovery states have slashed funding to it's colleges and universities.   According to the WSJ piece University of Virginia funding courtesy of Virginia taxpayers has dropped to $8,300 per student from $15,300 in 2000.
