These cuts are insane! Way to improve the job situation and economy.
As ridiculous as most of the crap that Adams tries to pull is, he actually was just doing his job on this one. It's not like he wanted the budget cut...it's the State Legislature that made the decision.
That being said, considering majors are going to be dropped and people will be losing jobs and we're probably going to have to pay more "special fees," Adams could definitely do a bit more to help out (like not taking a plane to go to freaking Macon).
I know he's doing his job and doesn't want the budget cuts any more than we do. However, through the accumulated wasteful expenditures of UGA funds, he has used a sizable amount of money. Is it $60 million? No.
However, is it enough so that some of the employees on the chopping block would not have to be fired?
Is it enough that a few more students could be admitted to what is one of the best universities in Georgia?
Is it enough so that a few of the majors being eliminated would not have to be?
I think the answer to all of these is yes.
