Perhaps people read stuff like this and think it extends to all in the sector:

Clearly it does not, but there is a lot of highly publicized waste out there in some parts of the system.

Yes, where is this mysterious rain of cash showering on the US EDU sector? We'd like to collect some.
Like David, I don't know why you would think the edu sector is awash in money, public sector in particular.

Really? I have no problem with Observium charging, but I have to take issue with you there. Where I work state funding per student has been cut to about a third of what it was 10 years ago. During the most recent recession it's been particularly bad; when tax revenues are down, higher ed is the easiest place to cut. A lot of folks have been let go, and none of us have seen a raise in five years. I'm not sure where you get the idea that it rains cash in the EDU sector, but it's just not so. _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium@observium.org <mailto:observium@observium.org> http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium
