Nothing in the 200 level needs a lecture theatre. You end up with, what, 10 profs all lecturing the same Calculus course, and probably only 2 of them that can do it well. Record them, and either get rid of the rest of the profs, or use them as smaller lab type times for questions and practical work. Repeat for all 200 level courses, and probably a bunch of 300 as well. Above that I found great value in having a prof in a smaller setting.
We could save huge money by not needing the massive lecture theatres that are only used for 200 level courses, and not needing all the profs to teach them. It's not like they like that part of the job, anyway.
