&lt;p&gt;Here&#39;s a strange little story from &lt;em&gt;BusinessWeek&lt;/em&gt;. It&#39;s about belt-tightening at bschools to avoid layoffs, but just seemed kind of fluffy and oddly timed, especially so because the piece ends with the belt on the cusp of a big loosening. But then I read this sentence and understood: &quot;Much like American families who are paying closer attention to the length of their showers and turning off lights when they leave a room, business schools are finding ways to bring down utility bills.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Business schools, they&#39;re just like us! They turn off the heat during non-business hours, they bargain hunt for plane tickets, cut their entertainment budgets, videoconference when travel is too expensive, delay exterior improvements, and shift priorities to those who matter most&amp;mdash;the students.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think it&#39;s great that at a school like Dartmouth&#39;s Tuck School of Business, which resides in a small town, layoffs were avoided, but given that such cost-cutting practices should have already been the norm, I won&#39;t really feel sorry for schools, mostly because institutions aren&#39;t human, don&#39;t feel or elicit compassion, so shouldn&#39;t be objects of pity. What I mean to say is, Business schools, they&#39;re not like us. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[BusinessWeek]&lt;/p&gt;
