I'm 100% with you K92. No point in paying 2 VP $200k to do the same job 15 minutes apart. Not to mention all the other overhead. They should just split up Akron and Kent's programs and let each school keep what they are best at. Keeping overlapping classes mostly to only electives.
As for the football program its challenging to cut the budget when $4M per year is committed to a football stadium that outside of a big time high school football game will never be more than half full. Other states have passed laws, Virginia I know for sure, that limit how much the schools are allowed to subsidize. Ohio should honestly look into it.
