Hey by that logic, Lets get rid of all the faculty salaries as well. Imagine the savings there. You don't cut off the nose to spite your face. A&M is one of the largest educational institutions in this country. It cannot operate without a president. They tried it once before decades ago and it was too complex then. Guess what? The organization has become even more complex.
