Budget Cuts: A Local Issue

If you are a student at the University of Nebraska-Kearney, you are probably familiar with the controversial issue: budget cuts.

Unfortunately, the campus budget cuts affected some parts of sports programs like men's baseball. However, the downsizing of administration at each University of Nebraska campus will result in a sizable saving for the taxpayers is a huge topic in this Kearney Hub article.

Somehow, I find myself somewhat agreeing with.

This post put into retrospect the theme of using technology to trim NU’s administrative waste. By using a metaphor: having a chancellor and the various vices, deans, directors, and chairmen at each campus are like having a governor with his entire staff in each county, treating each county as though it were a separate state within the state of Nebraska.

With technological advances of Distance Administration, it's no longer necessary to have a chancellor representing the interests of each campus as it's no longer necessary to be separate universities within Nebraska, but one University of Nebraska.

I somewhat agree, but only to the technological portion. As a student, there are so many people of importance at a campus.

How can we tell them apart?

After a while, it just gets confusing. However, I disagree with the portion of "it's no longer necessary to have a chancellor representing the interests of each campus". The University of Nebraska-Kearney may have different needs rather than the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. One campus could be bigger in size of students, therefore different issues could occur.

“it's no longer necessary to have a chancellor representing the interests of each campus...”

For example, the situation between the supremacist student.

I don't recall a situation occurring at the University of Nebraska-Kearney. Therefore, we need a chancellor on each campus to represent the needs.
