State Colleges Also Face Cuts in Ambitions - TAMAR LEWIN, New York Times

These days, the headlines about Arizona State describe its enormous cuts. The university has eliminated more than 500 jobs, including deans, department chairmen and hundreds of teaching assistants. Last month, Mr. Crow announced that the university would close 48 programs, cap enrollment and move up the freshman application deadline by five months. Every employee, from Mr. Crow down, will have 10 to 15 unpaid furlough days this spring.
