Campus Goal Student Retention and Graduation
Solution Strategy
Note
  • Impacts: By eliminating 50 sections and losing  20 PTL, results in the remaining faculty accommodating the displaced students in existing sections; and increases the number of students each faculty member will instruct, advise, and mentor.  Students will not receive the same level of personal attention from their instructors.
Campus Goal Enrollment
Solution Strategy Cancel low enrolled or non-required courses
Note
  • Impacts: The burden of eliminating 50% of college and department funded assigned time for program directors and research and 100% for curriculum planning and course development along with losing 22 PTL, faculty leaves no time to plan and execute speaker series, conferences, or special cultural events (total # of 07/08 funded events 69), or engage in sustained research and new course development.  This will deprive students of the type of events that excite and broaden their learning experiences, bring new and interesting theories in original and applied research and create new course subjects (i.e. the Alternative Spring Break in Katrina ravaged Louisiana).

Solution Strategy Reduce operating expense and equipment expenditures

  • Impacts: Eliminating an additional 40% in Summer OE&E following the 43% reduction in General Fund in 03/04 and 04/05 will force further reductions in College and Department Operations - i.e. tests and syllabi not reproduced.
  • Impacts: Eliminating 50% of Intellectual Events will reduce by half the number of speakers series, conferences, and special cultural events that are a part of students' educational experience.
