Friday’s Cut of the Day – Thinking Outside the Box

“Thinking outside the box” is one of those annoying terms that strategic management consultants throw around to sound smart. Because UCF loves these dumb-fuck consultants, the term is appropriate for Friday’s suggested cut. Although I don’t think any of my suggested cuts will ever happen, Friday’s cut of the day is going to be very unlikely to occur.

Here is today’s suggestion. President Hitt makes about 600K a year. More than half of his salary is provided by suckers foolish enough to donate to the UCF foundation (the other part comes from the state). If Hitt were to take 300K of his salary – the part that is donated to him – and give it back to UCF to save an academic program, he would be a god damn hero. This donation could completely save radiologic sciences or part of another program slated to be cut. Think about it, Johnny, the local media would go nuts, and I’m pretty sure your generosity would get national attention.
