Here's a great quote from the President of Cornell University: Will the recession help to cut through the Big Red tape?"I am constantly surprised at how decentralized Cornell is administratively. Now it’s hard to argue with success – Cornell is hugely successful – it’s the best school I’ve ever been at and so I am in awe of the way things have developed. That doesn’t mean it couldn’t operate more efficiently. It doesn’t mean that there has to be every administrator function, every communication function, every IT function does not necessarily have to be distributed equally throughout all administrative units."
