Mr. Johnson have you considered taking a cut in pay and perks for you and the top echelon to show your sincerity?  The U budget has grown as bloated as the states over the recent years. Looks like the total budget is between $760 and $960 million annually.  How about some serious cuts such as closing about 12 of the 16 campuses, more online courses, eliminate the U of F police dept., consolidation, major cuts all around?  Only 4600 graduates and how many U employees?  It is unfair to ask Alaskans to continue to pay.  I believe the U even asked for a bigger budget this year while fully knowing the pinch the state is in.  How do you expect to be taken seriously?
