Budget Plinko, Part I

It appears that Dean Michael Smith and our buddies at FAS have finally let the chips fall. The budget cuts are out. Much like our friend Bob Barker, FlyBy lets you know if each cut is a winner, or worth sending home.

The first thing to note about all this? The $77 million in cuts detailed in today's announcements represents only 35% of the $220 million deficit for the 2010-2011 academic year. So to a certain extent, why sweat the small stuff?

However, the cuts today do represent the single most visible step thus far in the quest to cut the budget. Rumors have been flying around all year, and some students have already exercised their right to protest some of the administrations tactics. But today, the Administration posted its concrete plans for all students to see.

While FlyBy is sure the administration would like for people to take a cursory glance at the over 18 pages (in MS Word) of cuts that will be made, we're here to break out the ones important to your life.

Actual Retail Price: Haha, this one is just funny. "One Harvard", sounds a bit like one of FlyBy's favorite throwback mottos. Harvard's too big to fail, right?
