[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	Until they learn to spend money better they deserve more cuts. The trustees just met and approved a 10% increase in salary for two new presidents over their predecessors and even said they wished they could give them more but they aren't allowed. There is one administrator for every professor in the Cal State system. Of course this plan was just announced after Jerry Brown got a teachers union to combine their tax increase plan with his, whenever the democrats have a tax increase on the ballot there are always dire threats of doom and gloom spending cuts. -----signature----- Politicians are like diapers, they should be changed often and for the same reason.

	I think other things should be cut first instead of education. Bill Gates gave a good talk about the crisis on TED talk that I watched only a few days ago http://www.ted.com/talks/bill_gates_how_state_budgets_are_breaking_us_schools.html A lot of it has to do with the federal government stealing state revenue to fund their own stupid things also, like 2 dumb wars. A lot of California's revenue also gets distributed to other states so it's available expenses that aren't debt is often times lower than what it actually generates in revenue -----signature----- Only those who dare to fail greatly, can ever achieve greatly In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity The only thing in life achieved without effort is failure Time Circuits...

	How much has total spending per student gone up over the last 10 years? Or pick your own time frame... There is alot of complaining about college spending....but very few people seem to have even considered that question. It seems important if you are worried about spending. If you dont know these facts, it would seem hard to have an informed opinion on the subject. Tuition is easy data to find. Total spending is pretty difficult to find. Good luck. ed - nationally tuition at public universities was up almost 50% from 99-09. Thats inflation adjusted, and that sure seems high. But spending over the same period was only up ~15%, with the majority of that increase being research. The answer to that puzzle is found in declining state education dollars. -----signature----- (none)

	I would just like them to spend more responsibly, it is the main reason I would like to see the military's budget cut, wasteful spending. -----signature----- Politicians are like diapers, they should be changed often and for the same reason.

The last time I looked at it, the increase in tuition for U of I tracked very closely with the decrease in state financing. It is pretty sad. -----signature----- I radiate more heat than light.
