I'm astounded that Yudof is so poorly informed about which departments 
actually generate revenue for the university.  I work at a community 
college, and it's common knowledge among  both faculty and 
administrators that the liberal arts are the cash cows that allow us to 
run expensive programs like nursing and CADD.
