SCSU should show patience with its solutions - DICK ANDZENGE, St. Cloud Times

For the second time in about five years, St. Cloud State University is going through a campuswide program review aimed at addressing a looming budget shortfall and long-term enrollment decline. While it's understandable university administration is anxious to find viable answers, the campus and the broader community might be better served if solutions implemented the past few years were given more time to make an impact instead of adopting another review process aimed at creating a whole new set of solutions. Instead, a peer allocation steering group has been formed and is scheduled to hear program reviews as it aims to guide future growth and develop the university's fiscal 2016 budget. http://www.sctimes.com/story/opinion/2015/04/07/scsu-show-patience-solutions/25424893/
