Show -3563 Administration and General Activities 1 $ Instruction 732,967 2, 804, 504 Libraries 214,238 Physical Plant 617,031 $4, 368, 740 (Divided by 9, 060 students - cost $482, see Exhibit XII, following page 35.) The survey proposes that $800,000 should be saved out of this amount ($4,368, 740) for each year of the next biennium - 1953-54 and 1954-55 because enrollment is expected to drop. Therefore, it would be expected that reduction in expenditures should, for the most part, come from the item of "instruction" ($2,804,504). Using the pessimistic Booz, Allen 8: Hamilton enrollment forecast (see Exhibit II following page 13) and the recommended student-per-teacher ratio (pages 44, 47 and 146) of 12, the following reduction of staff would result: 6,310 students 5 12 :- 526 faculty members (1952-53) 5,750 students E 12 flfaculty members (1953-54) 47 faculty members to be terminated Now, assuming that the faculty members to be terminated are the ones in the lower income brackets because: 1. Faculty with tenure can't be terminated, and 2. Senior staff members must not be permitted to go because they are the only ones who can teach graduate classes. Then, the reduction in instructional staff would be $211,500 (47 teachers x $800,000 proposed reduction $4,500 : $211,500). So less 211, 500 reduction possible by terminating faculty $588,500 yet to be found Thus, it will be seen that another $588,500 would have to be taken from the items of expenditures least associated directly (as a direct or variable cost) with 1See footnote 2 on previous page. |
