Advance to the rear
KBTX reports on budget presentations made Wednesday to the Regents. Interim President Loftin described how $6.8M has been trimmed already. Most of the savings come from reducing the merit pay pool, but Loftin is also cutting the fat from his own office.

These savings are patently false. For instance, Richard Cross and Misty Skaggs left the President's Office, contributing to it's budget cut, but went back to Animal Science. In short, their costs were just transferred to another department to absorb, on top of having to make cuts themselves. So Loftin is playing with the numbers saying he's made $6 million in cuts. He's just transferring the expenses to another department. Shame on him.
