The University of New Orleans seems to have the right priorities:

Faced with its deepest budget cuts in decades, the University of New Orleans will eliminate nine top-level administrative positions and restructure non-academic departments to minimize the impact on classrooms, Chancellor Timothy Ryan said at a news conference Thursday.

The athletics program was spared major cuts but key positions abolished include the vice chancellor for advancement and the dean of admissions. Ryan said between 20 and 30 currently filled administrative and staff positions, including the director of Greek life, will be lost through a combination of layoffs and retirements.
