Increasing the # of students per class, increasing reliance on cheap adjuncts, reducing amenities, lowering pay/benefits, firing unneeded administrators. (Last one is a biggie.)
More generally, I could favor a plan which gives the universities "freedom". Specifically, we cap tuition + fees, eliminate most regulations on university behavior, and reduce funding. We should also make a policy that if there is significant student lobbying for more funding, the college president is fired. (That reduces the motivation to run a Washington Monument strategy [1].)
