If there are no increased costs, then why do you have to fund those costs from other programs? Do you not see the logical disconnect there? Is your problem that you think "costs" only means fiscal "costs?" If so, then let's use some other words to describe the loss of important curricular programs. As faculty time, positions, rooms, and budgets, as well as administrative time, positions, and budgets grow more focused on reading and math remedial programs, the resources go from one place to another, from history, arts, music, social studies, etc. to remedial programs. It's the only thing that can happen in a zero sum environment. So we have curricular "losses" which I'm calling "costs" because I use the term more broadly than, apparently, you do. And, I gather we agree that "losses" occur. Let's skip the teeth clenching stuff. That gets us nowhere. Unless you simply forgot to put the grinnie.
