A NY Times Opinion article currently spotlights the topic of colleges' cost cutting, with professional and non-professional opinons on what colleges can cut to reduce spending. One voice is Dartmouth's own Victoria Boggiano, my fellow writer/editor for The Dartmouth Daily Newspaper. I can't say I wholly agree with Victoria about cutting the amount of deans, but that's not what caught my blogging interest.
To me, the most fascinating part of this compilation of opinions was the apparent destitution Columbia students live in, to the point where their writer-representative has no suggestions on how to cut costs. Hannah Howard, a 2009 graduate of Columbia College, currently writes a column, “Served,” for Serious Eats where, incidentally, my friend is also working now (she knows her). In reading her Columbia U POV, boy does it sound terrible to go to school there.
See for yourself:

Conclusion: Thank God I didn't go to Columbia.
*Well, that's the gist of her op-ed.
