RE: Dean Loredo’s position cut
Does there really need to be a dean of students, an associate dean of students and a senior associate dean of students? What do these people actually do for their generous benefits and pay package?
Adjunct professors, who make a fraction of the pay of these positions, are at the forefront of affordable education in the Maine system. They actually teach the students who attend the state’s universities and colleges. They only get paid for time in the classroom, and they get no benefits.
Most educational organizations are way too top heavy and need to start making changes that will prevent them from becoming irrelevant.

How about cutting nearly all of athletics except for hockey and the “small” sports that are lifetime activities? The talk is that 25 percent of professors will be let go. A lot of majors would have to go, too. Teaching is more important than athletics.
