    University of Nevada Chancellor lists the following as possible outcomes of having to cut another 20% (after already cutting 10%) in funds:

    “Klaich's memo included a drastic set of actions that he said could be necessary if the higher education system is forced to cut its budget by another 20 percent (roughly $110 million), on top of the one-day-a-month furloughs, 700 job cuts, and other reductions it has already made. The system, he said, could cut salaries by 20 percent or add more five furlough days each month, increase tuition by 50 percent, or close entire campuses, among other steps.”

    those are major. Do you think he is bluffing trying to show the gov the impact if it really happens?

    I'm sure that there is a strategy involved to show the severity of their problem. It will be interesting to see how they deal with it. The governor has refused the idea of any taxes to cover any of the deficit.
