CSN has for years wasted the monies that it has received from the state on pet projects and CSN administration follies. How much was wasted on the name change? How much was wasted on recruiting students overseas? How much was wasted on hiring unneccesary high priced administrator jobs from out of state for friends of past and current presidents of CSN? How much money has been paid out by CSN in the last five years to settle lawsuits caused by past and current CSN administrators?
Did you know that most CSN classroom space is used only 3-4 days a week for about 8-10 hours per day? The CSN administration does not even maximize thier classroom space that they already have on the main campus sites.
This budget shortfall would have happened with or without Gov. Gibbons. I don't support him but in this case he is just the convienant whipping boy.
Please tell me, since the state revenue shortfall, what would you do to cut and balance the budget? Would you close a satellie campus that supports hundreds of students of close a main campus site that supports tens of thousands?
CSN is like any other state agency and must step up and cut during this recession.
I have always liked the atmosphere at the Klondike. I hope it stays open for years to come.
Thank goodness the children were discovered before they were injured or died of heat-related illness. Leaving children and pets in vehicles in this desert environment is a death sentence.
I am glad to see that there are still public servants that try to save money. Getting a surplus LV Fire and Rescue response truck for nothing is a great feat.

CCSN (now CSN, what a waste of money on a name change) started the downward slide into mediocrity when Richard Carpenter and his out of state cronies came in. I would encourage you to read all of the original 2006-2007 blog posts on the CSN Richard Carpenter Watch and decide for yourself.
