Education second  Ali T Winston By Ali T Winston  Kudos once
again to The Star-Ledger for informing the public about what
really goes on in our state. Your reports describing the fiasco
in the Rutgers athletic department and the school
administration's non-accountability and total disregard for the
meaning of education are appreciated and do us all a service.
The budget for academic programs was being slashed while the pot
of gold in the athletic department was overflowing.  With food
pantries running out of food and people losing their homes, that
Rutgers is spending an obscene amount of money on athletics is
pathetic. Rather than being in the business of building football
stadiums, the school administration ought to re-evaluate its
priorities and spend time figuring out how best to educate
students.
