A suggestion
February 17, 2000
To the editor:
I have a suggestion to help resolve the university budget problem. With the restructuring of agriculture to a handful of corporate farms, we no longer require the services of the same number of professors who have been training up-and-coming farmers.
In the future, only a handful of professional managers will be needed to manage the few large corporate farms whose form has been desired by agriculture policy for decades.
Therefore, get rid of all those professors who have been advocating this policy. They have achieved their goal. Now, who needs them anymore?
