NOT A PRIORITY IN USU POLICY ON BUDGET
Ships are safest in harbor, but that is not what ships are
for, say top officials at Utah State University. This phrase,
referring to plans for the road ahead at USU, describes new
methods prescribed by officials to balance the academic institution’s
budget in the immediate and distant future, meanwhile increasing
overall quality. Changes to the USU internal budgetary process
were outlined in a document released to USU employees and the
media on Tuesday, which administrators are calling the “budgetary
white paper.” (Herald Journal, 03/26/03)

about racial tensions in Brooklyn, “Do the Right Thing”
