While that's true, look at the biggest bugdetary items(overhead) and how they
aren't even related to teaching, and yet if they're threatened to be done away
with, the howls and screams come out in force.
Overhead ? Electricity, water, heat comes from County/City and they are not
charged the same rates as any other homeowner/commercial owner. No one would
expect a fire house to foot the bill of water used either.
Overhead is charged at a very low rate...
One of the biggest expenses is for fuel for the buses and it changes with prices and not sure where it's at currently. But it's lumped in with all the operating expenses, and they're switching to propane fuel to cut the fuel expense by a little more than half. The freakin pool costs roughly 40,000 a year in maintenance. The gymnasium is in use every weekend during the school year, and most weekends in the summer.

It's also very annoying that Obama hasn't gotten rid of "No Child Left Behind" yet.
I thought that was Congress job.

seriously when did you ever see a school bus or any other county auto/truck use the same public pumps we use. They have their own sources and facilities.
Nope.. they have their own! they order it wholesale at fixed prices months in advance, transferred to their facilities and pumps. They dont even come close
to paying what you or I pay.

Is NYU a Liberal school? I don't get it, if the guy is a self taught lawyer, then what in the hell does he need those useless nutsacks at NYU for?

This I don't get, when my Daughter graduated a few weeks ago, her sister made a joke to her on the way to the ceremony. "Are you going to throw your hat in the air?" She said, no I was told that if you toss the cap, then they will keep your diploma. and you wont graduate.
I said "they can't do that!" She told me, that they were told this over and over again in the past weeks.
