The state continues to fund the university, and I know the legislators in Boston are doing so, knowing that their constituents will be very happy with the state university. And they're not addressing it, but I know in the back in the back of their minds they must be thinking, "Wow, what we're doing must be putting an incredible strain on the town of Amherst, but it doesn't affect me directly, so not to worry."
