It is truly funny to read the news that an administrator is trying to convince the regulator to agree on her or his budget proposal. Even though there are evidences which show that colleges have to streamline or downsize. However, some college administrators are still did not see it. Of course the easy ways are to beg the state to increase the funding and if that does not work then pass the budget increase to the students. But folks have to realize that there are many other ways than begging to deal with the new reality. Unfortunately, this administrator is still using the old paradigm, instead of the new mindset in managing colleges in the US. If one still has time, why not start downsizing by applying the LEAN and ABC costing. Unfortunately, others as AAEA has predicted do not have time, but closing their campuses.
