Wrong glass, Sir.
sandgk;1638927; said:There surely isn't the cash in Columbus (nor probably the political incentive) for UC or U of A to get a billion here and a billion there as a hand-out.
Not to deflect the thread, but if Akron can't dig itself out of its spending spree on its own and comes--cup in hand--to the Ohio taxpayers, this should result in Kent and Akron being forced to merge.
It was the pinnacle of Rhodes' lunacy to absorb a bankrupt municipal university into the system when there was a perfectly good state campus 30 miles away that had been in existence for 60 years.
Bailout UC, with stringent conditions and BOR oversight on what they can and can NOT do in the future and force a merger between KSU and Akron. I'd call that making lemonade out of lemons.
