You know I like ISU as much as most people but $908.4 million dollars is a heck of a lot of money to spend on an institution that producers lots of young adults with little added value to the market and huge debt burdens.
Higher education has been cut at least somewhat but the real whole in the pocket book is the $3.73 Billion going to K-12.
Flame away.
This little nugget is curious and BS though. "require county auditors to arrange candidate names on the ballot in descending order based on previous election results"
This article is from 2014 but it provides an interesting take on how universities have increased non-teaching and non-research administration in the last 30 yrs

Why do we spend any money on education? The kids could just learn it all on Youtube.

Not everyone's income is guaranteed to go up every year. Farm prices are down and now the farmers are starting to feel the effects. This is a large part of the tax revenue drop to Iowa.

I think they could still do a better job on the expense side. My friend's wife has been an art professor for about 20 yrs. She drives up from Des Moines three days a week to teach. He told me that if she works 10 more yrs until she's 62 she'll receive $140K/yr in pension plus medical benefits. Not bad for essentially part-time work teaching a liberal arts subject. That number floored me.
