- From what I have been hearing recently, the rumor of CLSG becoming something
- we have to pay for is true. I was hoping this wasn't true, but discussion
- at the EDUCOM conference seemed to indicate that although nothing was yet
- completed, it was going to happen. Needless to say, a lot of us aren't all
- that pleased. No free ride speeches please, I understand your situation.
-
- I have also been told to expect a "fair" solution and that small universities
- are not going to get run into the ground. It should be interesting to see
- where the chips really fall. You've been good to us in the past, so for now
- I'll trust the statement.
-
- This change is leaving me with a major problem. Like everyone else, my budget
- is not growing and fat is hard to come by. I am expected to prepare a budget
- for my department within the next couple of weeks and *need* to know what you
- are doing or I may end up without this service.
-
- While I at this, is there any chance of an educational hardware maintenance
- policy?
