QuoteAll organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing.
QuoteThe simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies.
Quote from: EdnaMode on March 25, 2024, 09:25:45 AMYou say your TV is old and won't stream. Here's the thing, TVs are relatively cheap these days, and just for grins, I looked at what Sam's Club had to offer and you can buy a 50" Smart TV for $239, so that's less than your current cable bill. That said, my TV is over 10 years old, and it will run on the Roku just fine.Like EdnaMode said, a new TV can be had very cheaply, and with internet service you will make up the TV cost by not paying for the cable channels very quickly (wireless wifi streaming and all of the Apps on the new TVs make things very easy). There are also all sorts of "free" streaming services (with Ads) for example, so you don't even really have to pay for AmazonPrime or NetFlicks (though together you would be looking at an average of about $25/month or so for the two services).

I didn't see from the article you linked where it says that they were eliminating most of their liberal arts positions. Though it would hardly be surprising if that's who they're getting rid of. But they're starting more sports teams to attract those who want to go to college to play sports, and they're breaking ground for an expanded business school, to compete with all the hundreds and hundreds of other business schools around the country. All they need now is a new e-sports program, and a pharmacy school if they don't already have one.

Due to the handbook process, we do not have the luxury of waiting to make these budget-saving decisions."
