My Insights

Whatsup with the tuition increase threats? It is totally ridiculous! Higher education is one of the worst places to cut money from because this is where the future of the city springs from. $67 million is being proposed to be cut from about 13 institutions around the state*! Bob Ehrlich … hire a good advisor please and by the way, where ARE you spending all that money anyways. We understand that you were elected because you promised that you wouldn’t raise the sales and income taxes but that doesn’t mean that you do something much worse. If need be, raise those sales taxes … its 10% in D.C. anyways. Did you know that the renowned Computer Science department at UMD would have to scale back course offerings because the university’s hiring freeze prevents the department from filling up its 4 vacant faculty positions and 20 vacant T.A. positions*! Do you really want the university to loose its reputation so that students no more come from out of state to study here and your economy gets pushed more down the drain. Oops I forgot, by the time the effects of your cuts start showing up, you would be out of office and don’t even think about re-election because you pissed off almost everybody. Do you realize how much sponsored research comes into the state because of the faculty at these colleges in the state. According to President Mote, faculty members bring in about $225,000 on an average in sponsored research*. Do you really want to lose all that money by forcing the universities to cut down on faculty members? You know what you need to do?

You first off need to stop hugging fat ugly women:

Let mayor Guilliani go … he’s almost in tears for god’s sake:

Ok, now its fat ugly and OLD women:

That’s it for now but my point is watch out before you piss the terps off. Peace.
