überbureaucrat Klaich said he: wanted to form a group of people, including faculty, human resources experts, lawyers and administrators, to figure things out.
The amount of waste built in to NSHE is staggering, as Klaich himself just inadvertently pointed out. NHSE also employs a multitude of $150K+ guild Administrators (you need a PhD to qualify for a job that a McDonald's Asst Manager could do for $30K), a Professor of Men's Basketball (not a PhD!) for $1M per year (assistants who make more than science faculty), a football professor costing $431K, entire departments which exist only to provide academic cover to jocks (like "Interdisciplinary/University Studies) -- who are awarded scholarships to fill the space, diversity officials (thanks to the commenter who first cited it), and on and on. The way to pay for all this nonsense is to impose user fees. Raise UNLV tuition to $300+ per credit. Surcharge liberal arts students for the burden of supporting their teaching faculty (typically left-wingers who do not generate substantial grant money).
Of course, ALL students with declared majors in Mining, Agriculture, or Engineering deserve either nominal tuition charges or entirely free rides. The University of Nevada was originally endowed with capital sufficient to fund those departments in perpetuity (without FURTHER taxpayer involvement). The policy of charging science students the same (or even more than) liberal arts students is just an egalitarian scam concocted by politically correct academics.
