What's next, books?

I was informed this afternoon that the KU libraries are cutting back on their newspaper subscriptions. Not the New York Times or the Lawrence Journal-World, but the newspapers that one usually can't find at their local Borders, such as the Mail & Guardian from South Africa, or the Indian Times, or other assorted publications that are essential not just for researching those areas, but also for helping international students keep in touch with home. I was told instead to look online for the M&G when I asked about what we're supposed to do for those foreign newspapers. God I'm sick of this university.
