Take care
None of you clowns have an idea where the best university of Latin America is located. Let's read from the experts from the US.

Ahhh harfart, ups I meant, Harvard. Funny, they have the number one professors in the world who could not forsee a bubble during the great days of the US and European economy. Everything according to them was great, fantastic plans of economic expension. Once the bubble bursted, suddenly, they knew about the bubble, and had (still have) all the answers.Yes, that's harvard, those boys are so great huh.
certainly,you must add it to the fronts of list if it has 50K/year fee per student !
Mar 15th, 2011 - 06:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Harvard ?! that was the school which had dipped own funds at bourses.!
list contains LSE ( Kaddafi's son school) together with Oxford and others ?
Just how widespread is the budget crisis at University of California Berkeley? University of California Chancellor Robert J Birgeneau’s ($500,000 salary) eight-year fiscal track record is dismal indeed. He would like to blame the politicians, since they stopped giving him every dollar he has asked for, and the state legislators do share some responsibility for the financial crisis. But not in the sense he means.
Mar 15th, 2011 - 09:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Instead, every year Birgeneau would request a budget increase, the regents would agree to it, and the legislature would provide. The hard questions were avoided by all concerned, and the problems just piled up to $150 million of inefficiencies….until there was no money left.
Faculty and staff have raised issues with senior management, but when they failed to see relevant action taken, they stopped. Finally, Birgeneau ($500,000 salary) engaged some expensive ($7.2 million) consultants, Bain & Company, to tell him what he should have been able to find out from the bright, engaged people in his own organization.
Merely cutting out inefficiencies will not have the effect desired. But you never want a serious crisis to go to waste. Increasing the budget is not enough; transforming senior management is necessary.
