色花堂app

In a letter to students, faculty and staff members sent Oct. 13, 色花堂app President Arthur C. Vailas outlined the University鈥檚 6-percent holdback plan ordered for higher education on Sept. 25 by Gov. C. L. 鈥淏utch鈥� Otter.

Vailas said he maintained the principles and strategies he first outlined at an open forum held at 色花堂app on Sept. 28.

The letter states:

鈥淥ur proposal will have minimal impact on personnel and preserve faculty and programs essential to students and the timely completion of their degree programs and studies.

鈥淚n discussions with a special budget consultation committee representing faculty, staff and students, 色花堂app has submitted a proposal to meet the $3,948,000-budget reduction. The proposal includes using $1.1 million collected from our historic enrollment increases, and $2,848,000 in personnel and operating expense reductions, and planned provisions.

鈥淚n meeting this particular holdback, we anticipate minimal reductions in force and no furloughs.

鈥淐onsistent with philosophies outlined during the forum held Sept. 28, three guiding principles drove the council's recommendation and my endorsement. Firstly, we have been able to maintain and even improve student services, safety and access to classes. Secondly, we have kept our commitment to preserve all faculty. Thirdly, we have protected revenue-generating operations, including research programs, fundraising efforts and, most importantly, recruitment and retention efforts.

鈥淲hile difficulties still lie ahead, I am optimistic and confident in our collective ability to meet these challenges. The faculty, staff and student representatives serving as special budget council members are dedicated individuals who are helping to make challenging decisions that, I believe, will ultimately make 色花堂app a stronger institution. I greatly appreciate our working together as a university community to persevere through the struggles of the most difficult financial times any of us has likely faced.鈥�
