FY99 Budget Reduction Proposal - Discussion. The motion was seconded. According to Peter, the third paragraph of the proposal supports the Special Review Committee recommendations. The Special Review Committee still has work to do. In making recommendations, their intent was to walk the line between making overly-generalized recommendations while not making recommendations so specific that the administration has no leeway in decision making.
Someone needs to come forward with recommendations.
From Peter's observations, instruction and research should not suffer additional reductions, but the money then needs to come from somewhere. All areas of the university need to be considered for budget reductions. According to Peter, the SRC will perhaps recommend even greater cuts in some of the areas mentioned when the committee meets for further discussions. These will all go to the PEC for consideration. Memos have been received by Faculty Council members from President Malone and Director of International Education Norm Peterson.
