    Excellent article. I didn’t know that Penn State had 1 employee for every 4 students. Seems a little bloated to me. I also can’t see how a group of trustees can possibly be involved in the day to day operation of the college.

    You can’t run a business, even a non-profit business, by committee. Perhaps Penn State should be broken up into smaller, more manageable, pieces.

"....I have never made it a consideration whether the subject was popular or unpopular, but whether it was right or wrong; for that which is right will become popular, and that which is wrong, though by mistake it may obtain the cry or fashion of the day, will soon lose the power of delusion, and sink into disesteem." Thomas Paine, Common Sense, on "Financing the War", March 5, 1782
