Just to let you know what's keeping me up at night

Created by William J. Allen (Arkansas State University) on January 11, 2009

The economic downturn is not as down in Arkansas as it will be later this year. As of now we deal with the economic situation by not talking about it. When state revenue recedes and universities take round after round of cuts, we will acknowledge that down is here. What I fear is that enormous turf battles will erupt over computing resources. Standing at the clock tower I can see the silos that will be as whole as possible and I can see the pea patches that will be lucky to have electricity.

In the proposed stimulus package includes infrastruture at universities, I hope that it will come some and come with substance. I hate watching adults fight.
