In light of the country’s current economic challenges and the impact of those challenges on Skidmore, I have asked all members of the campus community to consider ways to reduce costs and operate more efficiently. — President Glotzbach

Well, well, well. Just when you thought the election and that whole stand up and “be heard” democratic thing was over, Skidmore opens up the floor for you to give your two cents. As we’ve mentioned before, our budgets are being cut, and frankly, I’m concerned that there won’t be enough hoison sauce next semester to fill my bowl of Vietnamese pho. Now Skidmore is turning to you, the creative elite, to come up with some totally new suggestions — ones that don’t include implementing deregulated mortgage policies because, as it turns out, they ruin everything. When you’re done watching aforementioned Judge Judy in your underwear, check out the handy dandy new economic crisis page on the Skid homepage. There’s a suggestion box where you can tell Glotzy how to save some precious Benjamins, as well as links to the college’s budgets and planning, family financial planning, career help for students/alumni, and employment resources.
