SBRC recommends cuts to Facuity Senate By Damon Cline The Lumberjack The Faculty Senate Budget Review Committee has proposed restructuring administration, trimming $1.9 million from academics and a postponement on program enhancements when it presented its S3.5 million dollar cost-cutting proposal to the Faculty Senate Monday. The Faculty Senate decides March 1 if it will accept the proposal as is, or give its own “right-sizing” recommendations. The BRC proposed to cut $1,907,000 from colleges and three programs (Continuing Educaton, NA Yuma and the Honors Program) during a threeyear period. If approved, the cost-cutting measures will be implemented via five “levels” within three years. BRC Secretary Mike Malone said the cuts would be enacted level by level as the need to cut spending increases. T h e amount of money that needs to be cut corresponds with a level number,” he said. The more money that needs to be cut, the higher the level.” Malone said th e report does not advocate cutting million from the university budget, but merely shows the university how to cut the budget if they need to. “If they (university) need to cut $1 million, they shouldn’t go any deeper than level two," he said. According to the preliminary report, level two would cut $1.79 million from the university budget with $350,000 coming from schoob’ operating budgets. The highest level, level five, would cut $3.5 million from the budget, with $1.9 million coming from the nine colleges and three programs. In leve' one, college budgets would go untouched except for the College of Creative and Communicative Arts, which would lose 0.7! percent of its budget, or $28,000; an d the College of Fngin eering an d Technology, which would lose 10.04 percent, or $254,000. Both CCA and CET would sustain the largest budget cuts through all five levels. Iflevel five was implemented, CCA would lose 6.S4 perc enter $271,000 o f its budget, while CET would still sustain a $254,000 cut from its operating budget. The College of Arts and Sciences would receive the lowest budget cut perc en tage throughout all five levels, peaking at 2.04 percent, or $220,000. The College of Social and Behavioral Sciences would receive the second- lowest cuts, peaking at 2.45 percent, or S90.000. In addition to the academic cuts, the BRC proposed to terminate programs in the following colleges. Programs targeted for termination • The CET engineering technology bachelor's degree program, which includes civil, electrical and mechanical engineering at level one. The elimination imperils a handful o f the estimated 88 students, by forcing them to transfer to another university for a degree. • The CCA dance minor program would be cut at level one with all dance classes eliminated. • At level three, the CCCA bachelor programs in arts management, music/organ and its graduate program in arts and design, which includes master o f arts in studio art and masters in art education, will be terminated. • The Center for Excellence in Education master’s program in c o m m uni try college education program, which has 25 students, will also be terminated at level three. Several colleges are also facing program modification and consolidation. Programs targeted would not be cut altogether, but would be significantly changed. Programs targeted for modification • The CCA extended major programs (advertising, See CUTS, Page 6 he BRC proposed to cut $1,907,000 from colleges and three programs during a three-year period If approved, the cost-cutting measure will be implemented via five “levels” within three years.

It would rake nonresident tuition to $6,620. Currently, the regents is considering a tuition increase to offset a possible $ 1 1.7 million university budget cut by the Joint Legislative Budget Committee. ASA recommendations, urge the Legislature to reject the JLBC's recommendation and provide adequate funding because a tuition increase should not be the only option to resolve the budget crisis. Suzanne Pfister, ABOR associate director o f public affiurs, said it is still too early todecide an exact increase amount. Speculations range from an increase as 1 cm as $100 to a figure as high as $500, she said. Pfister said the board has not formally reviewed A S A ’s recommendation sand will not “take a stand * on the recommendations until the public video conference next month.

The recommendations call for SS percent — or $4.8 million o f the new tuition revenues be set aside for financial aid. “I agree with the financial-aid recommendations,’' Evans said. “If we have to raise tuition, we should increase financial aid. I will not budge on that issue at all.” Erik Anderson, Associated Students o f NAU vice president for student services, said he thinks the $4.8 million will not adequately fund the additional costs o f a tuition increase. "They (ASA) are working with the issue a lot more closely than I am, but I don’t think itwillwork," Anderson said. 1 don't think all the needs can be meL" McWhortor said ASA has not received much feedback from the State Legislature as o f yet, but the proposed tuition increase is sparking reaction from NAU students. Some students said they would be in favor of an in crease if they knew the money would benefit class availability and student services. “I would go for (a tuition increase) if 1 knew it would help," said Elizabeth Schwartz, sophomore hotel and restaurant management major. "I pay out-ofstate tuition, so it's already expensive for me." Anderson said he is opposed to a tuition increase o f any amount He said more students and student coalitions should lobby for greater university funding.
