Big waste found at Michigan's public universities

The Detriot Free Press reports:
Michigan's public universities have offered thousands of sparsely attended classes, allowed thousands of students to pad grades by taking the same classes over and over, and sometimes failed to monitor or correct faculty performance.

Those findings -- issued in state audits -- suggest that taxpayer-supported universities could do more to tighten operations as they battle for more government funding in dire economic times. The auditors' concerns come as students and parents face stiff annual tuition increases.

Universities "can't seem to keep the reins on costs," said Larry Paulson, a 53-year-old network engineer from Livonia struggling to save for his ninth-grade son's college bills.
Now you know why the typical public university professor is for more taxes.More taxes is more money for these greedy workers.You'll notice that Hillsdale College doesn't have these problems because it doesn't take government money.Eat your heart out Enron.
