Next week, you may be upset about the trade war, the administration's defense of its right to disappear people to other counties, or its corrupt attacks on law firms. Before you get pissed, please take a breath and remember: Trump seemed nice at his dinner with Bill Maher.

This makes sense because when you're deciding where to cut costs at a college or university, you start with amenities that have no connection to the core business, such as classes.
