    “No Latin American universities figure in the top 100 list.” Shut up you! You know nothing! This is the best university in the world: Universidad Popular de Madres de Plaza de Mayo haha

    xba, that's not an university. that shows you've never been in any..
    We have pretty decent universities in Uruguay btw, the fact that we didn't make it into that Top 100 doesn't mean we are not good as well.

    Mmmm I don't think so... you didn't mean to.
    Anyway, it is ok if you don't know what an university is but the link you posted is not related with the article at all. And I assume you were confused

    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.

    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.
    Instead, 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.
