So last Thursday the 11 presidents representing the state's university system went to Tallahassee to ask for an extra billion dollars. You won't be shocked to learn that they won't be getting it. I mean no disrespect to the university presidents, but I have to admit I am a little shocked. It's been obvious to me for years -- 8 years to be exact -- that the plan in Tallahassee is to strip mine higher education layer by layer. This has been a train wreck a long time in the making.
