I think that this is unfortunate but probably a step in the right direction for the University given the fiscal realities and the issues they are facing with rankings.  the director just looks like a really nice woman and looking at what they were doing, the programming looks to have been pretty good.

I wonder about a few things with this -
- how much of that $500k budget was the director's salary?
- couldn't something like this be transitioned to more of a grass roots community organization that has close connections to and can utilize the resources of the University but gets its funding from other sources (including people actually paying to go to some of the events they offer)?
- Sounds like the director was just counting on the cash cow of the university and not doing a great job getting the funding side ramped up.   that was a good bet with the old chancellor around...but if you are really motivated by what you are doing and can read the tea leaves so to speak - you go out and get the grant money flowing.  There is SO MUCH MONEY available for stuff like this.  It takes someone savy, motivated, and connected to access it.
