The other problem is that when funding is cut, the administrators make sure that what is cut is the things that will be both noticeable and make people upset. That's why they cut instructors. They know that that is something that will upset students and ulumni and create the kind of political backlash that will prevent more cuts. If you don't like the effects of the cuts on LSU, don't blame Jindal. Blame the administrators.

They cut instructors because they can't fire professors. Professors have tenure and they are the ones responsible for bringing in millions in grant money.

Other than secretaries and academic advisers, instructors are by far the easiest people to get rid of. I don't see how this can even be argued against.
