twitterFLASHPOINT for Nov. 27, 2007
Tuesday, Nov. 27, 2007 | 7:13 a.m.
What other steward of higher education in any other state would have the candor/gumption/tactlessness to say this about the system he oversees: "We have a less than mediocre educational system in this state." Yes, indeed. Chancellor Jim Rogers was at it again Monday, this time on KNPR's "State of Nevada," talking trash about higher ed funding vis-a-vis the governor's budget cuts and telling some truths that are not self-evident to too many. I bet Rogers has made a few enemies in his life - in fact, I can name a few. But right now, love him or hate him, he is one of the few speaking the truth about the state's funding system and what the imminent cuts are going to do. The other Jim (Gibbons) doesn't get it; this one does.
