Ok, folks. So, this thread has been going for about 3 1/2 years now, and gone through a few different rounds of cuts and layoffs.
We now have a new governor, new budget, new board of trustees, and will have a new university president. I'm going to go ahead and lock it down now. Feel free to continue to discuss all the goings-on, I just feel like this is a good place to "end" this particular thread and start "fresh".
