This is a class on the recent budget cuts at the University of North Dakota. The class has four goals:

1. To become more familiar with the complexities of the modern university and UND, in particular.
2. To encourage critical thinking about the institutional structure of higher education in the U.S. in a historical
context and local context.
3. To understand the relationship between the institutional organization and the purpose of the university.
4. To produce a short guide to the UND budget for students that allows them to be more critical consumers
and participants in university life.
