Want and need are different words for a reason =)<p>Yes, college is a huge bill that needs to be cut.  It&#x27;s both unethical and horrid for our economy to saddle students with so much debt when they&#x27;re starting out in life.<p>How to reduce costs: line administrators up in a row and have them count off 1,2.  Fire either the evens or the odds.  Return to administrator staffing levels from 30 years ago.  What doesn&#x27;t get done doesn&#x27;t get done.<p>see eg <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;ucbfa.org&#x2F;2013&#x2F;01&#x2F;uc-management-bloat-updated&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;ucbfa.org&#x2F;2013&#x2F;01&#x2F;uc-management-bloat-updated&#x2F;</a><p>at berkeley, base year 1991, management grew 252%, while non-management (ie productive workers) grew approx 42%.<p>I also think we should cut most sports -- why do our colleges need to serve as an amateur league for the nfl? -- but that opinion is not widely shared.  Nonetheless, the amount of bloat that has crept in to what is purely overhead is stunning.  Note that none of this has to do with &quot;running like a business&quot; except that business wouldn&#x27;t tolerate this level of management overhead; it&#x27;s wildly excessive.
