Only students really know if their professor can do that. Students don't care much that Professor X published six articles last year while Professor Y published only four. But if one of those professors gives lectures so dull that even the eager non-traditionals doze off, students will care. At least, they'll care when they wake up. And so, an open plea to the Board of Regents.
Nobody asks students' advice on budget matters.
Hell, the last time students voted down a fee the university administration and regents pushed it through anyway. Every year since grade school, I've been getting steadily fatter. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why. My routine of burgers, beer, and lethargy isn't likely to land me the coveted Mr. Fitness USA crown anytime soon. Normally, my only exposure to anything athletic is, well, interviewing athletes.
