In this article, and one tomorrow, The threaten 'U departments 0 Last November, University administrators imposed on each University departmental unit a budget cutback equal to three per cent of that unit's salary budget. The aim was to reallocate about $2.7 million for faculty pay raises. * Shortly thereafter, Gov. Wil- liam Milliken ordered a one and one-half per cent cut in the Uni- versity's state appropriation, as state revenues lagged behind ap- propriation levels. Aside from giving University ac- countants headaches, those bud- get cutbacks placed strict con- straints on the operations of many University departments. Indeed. University officials, who adminis- tered all the cuts in an "across- the-board" manner, predicted that the financial mess would cause "an erosion toward mediocrity" for support for the U Daily examines the effect of the budgetary problems on the Uni- versity. the University. At first glance, such a conclu- sion seemed unescapable. Student tuition was raised over 15 per cent to strengthen the faltering gen- eral fund, but even this move failed to alleviate the tight finan- cial situation. This year, the University re- ceived a $4.6 million dollar in- crease in state funds - a disap- pointing amount that prevented the University from making most major program improvements or expansions, but which was suf- ficient to allow it to meet its bare minimum requirements for new funds. The indications are clear. If the University is to achieve pro- gram expansion or improvement. funds will have to be generated in- ternally through a system of se- lective cutbacks and reallocations. Large amounts of new funds from Lansing are simply no longer available. The effect of the funding prob- lem varies greatly throughout the University. Some units, in fact, were excused from making part of the ordered cutbacks because of their extremely poor financial con- dition. Thus, the three per cent Uni- versity-ordered cutbacks actually allowed the University to reallocate only $2.4 million - rather than the $2.7 million that would have been saved if all the units had made the full cut. Basically, the cutbacks were im- plemented in one or more of the following ways: -By leaving unfilled faculty po- sitions vacated by retirements or resignations; -By reducing the number of course offerings; -By reducing the size of the non- academic staff, including secre- tarial and both full-time and tem- porary help; and -By halting equipment pur- chases and eliminating small ex- penses. These cutbacks served mainly to aggravate financial problems that had already existed in the units. But in certain cases, departments fared better than the norm -be- cause of specially earmarked funds provided by the state. For example, the University's dental school, newly-housed in a $17 million complex, received more funds than it had requested from the state. The dental school, along with the Medical School, is con- sidered to provide a greatly- needed service to the state, and thus is in the enviable position of having little worry over funding. At the opposite pole is the lit- erary college, "where it's harder to document the need for funds to the Legislature," says psychol- ogy Prof. Warren Norman, chair- man of the faculty representative Senate Assembly. "My guess," Norman continues, "is that the cuts were tougher on a larger proportion of the literary college than otherdunits because LSA has been under-funded for 'the longest period of time, consid- ering its growth."
