When I went to Texas A&M I was a student of Economics. It seems funny to me that I was preached efficiency and bottom line. It seems the students pockets are a renewable resource to the University.

Reevaluation from each department needs to take place including each department running on a budget of $0 for at least a full academic year. They need to figure out where they are squandering this money, not continually relying on government funding increases or tuition increases to make day to day operations run smoothly.

Come on people, I would really like to be able to afford to send my kids to school. The way it looks right now I might just be the first and only generation of Aggies in my family. That is sad.

This is a pretty idiotic thing to say. Why not just have your children take out student loans like the rest of us? Again, A&M is still relatively cheap compared to other schools; especially when you consider the "other" education in addition to their degree of choice.
