School's Out Forever...
Wisconsin government workers aren’t the only ones feeling the pinch because of budget cuts. Governors of cash-strapped states are now putting public colleges on the chopping block.
Forty-three states have cut higher education since the start of the recession in December 2007, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. And many states are now considering more drastic measures such as closing departments or entire campuses, curtailing student enrollment and laying off staff — even tenured professors.
Tuition hikes are inevitable, so students will be paying more for more crowded classrooms and fewer services.
UMCP is already in Year 3 of Furloughs, I believe. I guess in that since they're lucky.
