Money ain't a thang.

Tha Captain is not concerned.

Department of Mathematics and Statistics Graduate Students,

I’m sure that most of you are well aware of the current economic
crisis. As a result of the impact on Alabama and the expected
diminution of funding, I expect that I will be obliged to cut back on
our graduate student support. I hope to support all the students who
are presently in good standing and on track in their programs. A
preliminary calculation indicates to me that we may not be able to
support more than a handful of students at the current levels. Next
year I expect that the majority of the assistantships will only be at
1/3 (or 3/8) time. I felt it necessary to inform you of this likelihood
as soon as possible so that you have time to make plans to conserve your
resources.

-Dr. Smith.
