To suggest that college students should be kicked to the curb in the name of 'fiscal restraint' is irresponsible, to say the least. While computers are an excellent means of supporting what goes on in a classroom or a lab, it is not a substitute for quality education. 

Relying on an army of part-time faculty, who are cobbling together enough work to make a living puts their students at a disadvantage, compared to full-time faculty who are in a position to provide the support students need, inside and outside the classroom.

It's interesting that the report doesn't suggest that colleges be run with more part-time managers. The management structure in most colleges is made up of layers and layers of managers. Yet, this bloated, top- heavy organizational structure is ignored y the authors of the report.

Running educational institutions, based on a fast-food model, does a disservice to college students who could be forgiven for thinking they are being treated as second class citizens.
