I can't begin to guess how many millions of dollars have been spent. New buildings are nice, but how can departments be asked to cut budgets again, and lay off more people, when several new structures are going up this very minute?

I wonder if part of the problem isn't the notion of survival of the fittest units. Will the athletics or the Shands clinics cut staff? Should profitability select educational offerings? Are we an institution or a collection of specialty schools... Did you hear the announcement that depts now need to figure out how to strip 10%?
