The one thing I have not seen mentioned here at all is that a great portion of the cost of Universities is now being consumed by administrative personnel. It is possible that this will force the university to be more cost conscious without a great decrease in the quality of their education offered. I get the sense that the comments here equate a reduction in budget to annihilation of higher education. I find this to be a bit extreme as there needs to be a reasonable conversation about the cost of that education and what resources and personnel are really required to deliver it and are the students/society really getting value for their money at current prices.
