Louisiana State University System

Mid-year Budget Reduction Plan

for Fiscal Year 2009-2010

(2)

College of Agriculture 9,359,994 8,798,394 561,600 The cut in the College of Agriculture will reduce faculty positions and reduce funding for graduate assistants. This will result in the cancelling of several courses scheduled for the spring semester and also increase faculty teaching loads. Graduate assistants that usually teach the laboratory sections of many of our courses will be unavailable resulting in cancellation of several laboratory sections. This reduction in graduate assistant funding will also negatively impact graduate enrollment in several areas. The reduction in funding for supplies and operating services will severely impact the effectiveness of teaching.

12

College of Arts & Sciences 31,444,125 30,658,022 786,103 The College cut the operating budget of each department which will reduce copying and other functions in support of teaching and scholarship. One counselor in Student Services recently resigned, and that position will not be filled, increasing the counselor to student ratio in the college, which was already more than twice what national associations recommend. Cuts were also made in the vacant positions that fund the instructional and research operations of the college. For example, the college recently commissioned a comprehensive study of its IT system; preliminary reports revealed fundamental problems that need to be corrected. Spending to do so will now have to be deferred. The college will also not be able to hire additional adjuncts or instructors as it has in the past to cover course demand. Several departments will be offering substantially fewer sections of undergraduate courses this spring than Spring 2009

12

College of Basic Sciences 36,223,939 35,318,341 905,598 In the short term, cutting vacant positions will necessitate that we deplete our pool of indirect costs in order to meet start-up and retention commitments to new and existing faculty. Doing so will mean that those funds will not be available for next fiscal year, which will in turn necessitate the cancelation of faculty searches. Loss of these funds also seriously limits our ability to hire temporary instructors to meet large unmet demand in introductory Physics and Chemistry classes. The reduction in operating funds will directly impact the quality of our educational and research programs, as those funds would have been used, e.g., for upgrading teaching labs in order to allow us to meet unmet demand in introductory laboratory classes and for purchasing maintenance contracts for research equipment. Looking to the future, these reductions will likely lead to the elimination of several staff members as well as the inability to fill vacancies among our faculty for the foreseeable future.

11

College of Business 15,364,573 14,596,344 768,229 Last year’s budget cuts eliminated all departmental travel from the operating budgets, leaving them with very little money for further reduction. We are in the process of implementing cost saving measures in the supplies and operating services (copying and printing) areas. The college is trying to protect the existing faculty, instructors, graduate students, and staff to the best of our abilities. Through attrition we have eliminated staff positions. We are using our vacant positions to cover this year’s mid-year cut. We have communicated the dire need to hire at least one accounting professor and one marketing professor. We lost six instructors in accounting a year ago. Also, we are losing a faculty member in Finance, a faculty member in Management as well as a long-time instructor. The Center for Computation & Technology (CCT) is currently funding several positions in the business college along with some funding for the SMART lab, which means the college is also negatively impacted by budget cuts imposed on CCT. Due to the last budget cut, the SMART lab is at risk. Having a trading lab in a business school is critical for teaching financial principles

10

Continuing Education 6,376,169 6,057,361 318,808 These cuts will reduce our ability to maintain existing programs and to develop new programs. Curtailing the 2010 Baton Rouge Region and Louisiana Science & Engineering Fairs will deny approximately 1100 high achieving Louisiana middle and high school science students from participating in this campus activity.

5 College of Arts & Design 6,756,996 6,419,146 337,850 The budget reduction is being accomplished by cancelling 8 required section in the School of Art. The

result will be a delay in some cohort's graduation. We are also taking the salary from unfilled positions. Because of the strong correlation between studio size and the number of faculty the loss of faculty lines will force the College to pursue future reductions in enrollment. Failure to do so will jeopardize future and impending accreditation of our currently accredited professional programs.

6

College of Education 7,658,679 7,239,135 419,544 The cut has led us to eliminate faculty lines, all travel funds and materially reduced operating costs; we have eliminated several Graduate Assistantships and student worker support funds. These

Change from

College of Engineering 18,929,614 18,172,428 757,186 This temporary budget recession has been taken primarily from operating funds of the college. Capital outlay, travel, supplies and assistantships have been reduced significantly in each department and the college. This cut leaves funds in each of these categories near zero for the second half of the year. It has nearly eliminated state funds for lab and classroom supplies. This has severely impacted the ability of LSU to provide engineering education commensurate with the expectations of our student base. The College of Engineering at LSU educates approximately 72% of all engineering and construction management graduates in the State of Louisiana. Based on workforce predictions through 2016, overall in Louisiana there is an estimated annual shortfall of 230 engineering and construction management graduates to fill the employment needs. These cuts do impact LSU’s ability to contribute to this important sector of Louisiana’s workforce for growth and economic development.

9

Graduate School 1,159,808 1,101,818 57,990 These cuts will require significant changes in operations of The Graduate School. Personnel will be trained to use only virtual images of student records thereby cutting the costs for paper and printing supplies; voice mail will be removed; student worker and graduate assistantship hours will be decreased significantly requiring remaining fulltime employees to pick up many of the duties performed by these workers. All travel to national conferences and for recruiting has been suspended

1

University College 1,415,479 1,344,705 70,774 The decision to cut positions from the University College staff will mean that responsibilities assigned to these positions will be assumed by current staff. In particular, fund raising and development efforts will be curtailed and maintenance of student records will be treated as extra duty for current staff resulting in delayed/slow processing of student records.

3 Honors College 686,363 669,204 17,159 These cuts will damage the ability of the Honors College to serve the needs of our students as a locus

for combining living and learning for LSU's very best academic students.

Libraries 9,748,369 9,260,951 487,418 These reductions will impact additions to the collection. We will attempt to minimize the impact on meeting the mission of the library in the sense that we will borrow what we don't have (when possible) from other collections. Turnaround time may be impacted in some areas. However, we will focus efforts on supporting the university curriculum, LSU service, and supporting research of faculty and students.

School of Library & Information Science 922,030 866,708 55,322 As a result of the budget cuts, the School of Library & Information Science has lost one third of our staff positions and 10% of our faculty positions. In spite of these cuts, we are still trying to meet the needs of our students who will be employed throughout the state when they graduate. Rather than cancel sections or limit enrollment, our faculty are teaching graduate courses with significantly more students than they were a year ago. To meet the needs of the residents of this state, we offer our entire masters degree in a distance format so our students can take classes in Shreveport, Monroe, Lake Charles, Houma, Lafayette, Alexandria or New Orleans instead of having to leave their families and jobs and move to Baton Rouge while they are in school. Because of budget cuts we do not have anyone on the faculty to teach courses required by the state for certification of school librarians. Public library use has increased dramatically during the recession and our enrollment of students pursuing careers in this area has increased, but we cannot offer the range of elective courses we used to provide. We have two federal grants, totaling more than $1 million, but we are in danger of not meeting the cost share requirements because of budget reductions.

1

School of Mass Communication 3,837,458 3,741,522 95,936 The impact of these cuts is a continuation of what resulted from previous cuts, to wit, reduced quality of instruction. Bottom line: Larger classes with less well qualified instructors.

3 College of Music & Dramatic Arts 6,827,233 6,554,144 273,089 The LSU College of Music and Dramatic Arts is the only Louisiana institution to offer the cadre of

terminal degrees (Ph.D., DMA, MFA, MM) in the performing arts that are required of college faculty to teach at schools with SACS accreditation. Thus, future faculty will have to be hired from outside of the State of Louisiana. The aggregate effects of budget cuts will darken performance venues, send student groups off campus to perform, and limit warranty maintenance on valuable instruments (donated by patrons and alumni) and other equipment.

Change from

The complete elimination of the support budget for the School of Music is a result of this cut. For the 2009-10 academic years, School of Music faculty is purchasing their own office supplies, as well as teaching and research materials.

5) It will prevent School of Music major ensemble concerts to be held on LSU’s campus. Band, orchestra, choral and jazz concerts will be held in churches and other venues for the 2010-11 academic year.

6) The piano fleet will not receive the necessary warranty service and upkeep, rendering several instruments ($100,000+) inoperable.

7) The School of Music will not be able to meet essential standards for a reaccreditation visit that is scheduled for Spring 2011, by the National Association of Schools of Music.

8) The Athletic Department funds many outward/structural expenses to the Tiger Marching Band (travel, uniforms, some instruments, etc.). The teaching of the students is entirely funded within the School of Music. The ability to train, recruit, and retain students will be damaged by these cuts. Within 3 years this will be a very visible outcome of these cuts (a smaller band, with lower quality). It will not happen suddenly—but within 3 years it will be visible--and any infusion of funds will take at least 3 years to bring back to it’s present size, quality and scope.

9) Reduction in number of course offerings accompanied by larger class size and/or faculty overload. Museum of Art 429,875 408,381 21,494 The LSU Museum of Art has already suffered budget reductions of 22.5%, which have resulted in the

loss of two positions – out of an original 12. This budget reduction places additional positions in jeopardy, further reduces the ability of the Museum to attract a paying audience, and adds an additional expense to be charged against our self-generated funds. All of this reduces our ability to attract an audience, generate shop revenue and become more self-sustaining.

1

Rural Life Museum 142,975 135,826 7,149 This cut in utilities will effect the care, conservation and preservation of the Museum's historic collections and this world class collection will be placed in danger of damage due to the lack of proper climate control. This cut will also effect the visitor's experience.

LSU Press 374,423 355,702 18,721 This further budget reduction, coming on top of a similar cut a year ago and a deeper cut last summer, seriously hampers the Press as it seeks to fulfill its mission.

1 School of Social Work 2,396,068 2,276,265 119,803 This mid-year budget reduction is being achieved through the use of funds from vacant positions

previously budgeted to support the operating needs of the School and to provide support to our students. Specifically, the following items are being cut from our budget as a result of relinquishing these funds.

· Adjunct faculty will be cut which reduces the number and depth of electives available to our graduate students.

· Travel is being suspended which will prohibit doctoral students and faculty from presenting at conferences. This will negatively affect the tenure potential of faculty and our national reputation and ranking. Cutting travel will also limit our ability to recruit students; thus, decreasing our visibility diminishes our competiveness as a program.

· Plans to upgrade our technology capabilities have been halted. Upgrades in equipment, software, and training would have allowed us to attract non-traditional students in fields such as child welfare, school social work, and military social work through our distance education program and the development of an on-line program.

· Materials for use by faculty in the classroom and field to enhance the curriculum have been cut. . Training for our field education liaisons and supervisors will be cut

· Cuts to the truancy program are forcing us to (a) terminate a part-time consultant who was developing a comprehensive program with local communities, (b) cancel plans to bring in TASC workers statewide who would have been trained to deal effectively with middle schools, (c) reduce our involvement with the EBR DA's truancy initiative, and (d) compromise our credibility across the state b f i bilit t f lfill it t

School of the Coast & Environment 5,940,016 5,643,015 297,001 Based on available information, these specific cuts are made temporarily (Spring semester only). Funding being cut are from current and future salary release. For mid-year cuts, our strategy has been to avoid personnel layoffs by using open lines. This is certainly good for the here and now but is

School of Veterinary Medicine 22,873,446 21,729,774 1,143,672 The School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM) is managed by the University as a Responsibility Center Management (RCM) Unit. Accordingly, we are responsible for all operational costs including utilities, operation & maintenance of the facility, and institutional support costs. Generally speaking, the impact of the mid-year budget rescission for FY 2009-2010 eliminates any flexibility of our program to address unanticipated costs for which we are responsible, and most importantly the reduction of faculty and staff which are so critical to programmatic quality. Key points on how the budget cuts will impact our program include:

• Seventy-five percent of the rescission was covered by personnel costs from unfilled lines or those that became vacant during the year. Un-funding vacant faculty lines will halt the overall progress of al programs and reduce our national competitiveness. As an RCM, self-generated revenue becomes even more critical in time of budget short-falls and it will be difficult to make any gains in that regard through extramural research and service delivery (e.g., the Veterinary Teaching Hospital) revenue with an inadequate faculty base. Additionally, the budget cuts will have a substantial negative impact on the recruitment and retention of faculty scientists

• Twenty-five percent of the rescission was covered by reducing operating costs to significant and integral programs including the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Governor’s Biotechnology grants, and the Louisiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory. Loss of these funds is likely to compromise our extensive array of scientific / diagnostic equipment should the need arise for repair, and purchase of new technology will not be possible therein compromising our teaching, research, and service commitments.

o Reduced support of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH) will negatively impact the staff infrastructure that operates the VTH. The caseload which is so important to our clinical teaching programs will likely be reduced, as will the self-generated income which is the primary source of funding of that operation.

o The Louisiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory is the responsibility of the SVM, and currently is at risk of losing its accreditation in part, due to lack of adequate state funding. Further rescission to the Laboratory will reduce its ability to deliver its diagnostic services to the animal owning public and Chancellor 1,085,730 1,031,230 54,500 These budget cuts will result in more limited and slower responsive time by the Office of the

Chancellor to requests from the LSU System, Board of Regents office, other public agencies and the general public. We will be constrained in engaging LSU proactively in initiatives aimed at enhancing University-community relations. There is also the serious risk of overloading remaining long serving staff members to the point they seek employment opportunities outside LSU.

Academic Affairs & Enrollment Services 2,678,730 2,544,794 133,936 The Office of the Vice Provost for Enrollment Management will be eliminated. The Office of Academic Affairs eliminated salary and support for one GA who assisted with Faculty Development programs. This reduction will impede our Faculty development program and effectiveness in supporting in the College Deans and their faculty.

1 Other Academic Support Units (Equity & Diversity; Cain

Center for Scientific, Technological, Engineering & Mathematical Literacy; Center for Community Engagement, Learning & Leadership; Communication across the Curriculum; International Programs; Academic Center for Student Athletes; and Assessment and Evaluation)

3,556,817 3,378,977 177,840 Examples of the impact of the mid-year cuts on these units are: • Reduce the ability to provide diversity education for faculty and staff.

• Reduce the ability to recruit and retain minorities, women, and international students.

• Reduce the services and support provided to faculty and students engaged in service-learning and other forms of civic engagement.

• Reduce the services that support faculty in enhancing their courses to improve students' writing, speaking, visual and technological communication skills.

• Reduce the services provided to international students and faculty.

• Impact our ability to meet SACS accreditation requirements related to assessment of student learning outcomes.

3

Information Technology Services 7,886,090 7,491,784 394,306 Unfilled positions will be used to meet this cut. These positions if filled would serve the LSU campus community in the areas of support of faculty in the use of IT in teaching and learning, general support for the use of IT by students, faculty, and staff, and also the development and advancement of key

(11)

Change from

Finance & Admin. Services - Accounting Services 4,761,920 4,523,824 238,096 Elimination of student employees will increase the clerical duties that will have to be absorbed by full-time employees. Only supplies essential to operations will be purchased – no office supplies, no cartridges for desk top printers, etc. Elimination of a teller position will impact services to students during the high volume transaction days around student orientations in the summer, and fall and spring registration.

3

Finance & Admin. Services - Budget & Planning 969,046 920,594 48,452 This office eliminated its only clerical position in the July, 2009 budget cut cycle. The cuts listed here in support categories will materially restrict the hours worked by our student workers, eliminate all travel, and restrict our ability to purchase special institutional peer studies and professional materials. Supplies and operating services are cut to a level which may require our employees to buy their own supplies by the end of the fiscal year. We will continue, to the best of our ability, to provide timely, accurate information and services to the campus community and external constituents. Finance & Admin. Services - Human Resource Mgt. 1,788,647 1,736,861 51,786 The impact of these cuts will inhibit our ability to provide personnel services to colleges and

departments. In addition, it will result in a lack of leadership training and development on campus for academic administrators.

2

Finance & Admin. Services - Facility Services 21,536,117 20,459,311 1,076,806 Impact of Budget Reductions to LSU Facility Services:

• Reduction in force will increase response time to maintenance calls. • Greater percent of available man hours spent on emergency calls. • Organization will become even more reactive.

• Less man hours available to perform pm resulting in even greater amounts of expensive emergency repairs.

• Will increase percentage of man hours spent on billable work to meet sales, therefore reducing maintenance to academic core further worsening facility conditions.

• Less money for purchase of consumables such as filters, lights, oils and lubricants, tools, gaskets, etc.

• Layoffs will worsen moral and decrease productivity. • Large DM backlog will grow at a faster pace.

• Less manpower to address crisis response to floods, storms, etc. • Increase time to replace critical safety lighting.

• Slower response to control system issues which will decrease system efficiency and increase utility cost and customer discomfort.

• Motor pool mechanics will have to focus more on life safety generator maintenance and less on vehicle maintenance.

• More focus on sales and less focus on maintenance

• Reduced IT support to service data systems and slower development of databases that promote efficiency

• Reduced overtime will force departmental shifts in labor work week to avoid overtime pay to employees during seasonal cycles (football)and will result in less general campus maintenance and

8 28

• Reduced staffing to support document management and field locations of underground utilities • Reduced quality and level of building cleanliness and pest control maintenance requiring more participation of building users

• Reduced level of painting campus wide.

• Exhausted equipment repair funding on aging equipment will subject us to failures and down time • Less funding for street repairs

• Less funding for basic out sourced services such as roofing, glass and window repairs, door and lock repairs/replacements

• Elimination of Material Control office will provide reorganizational challenges • Longer project delivery times and possible delayed responses to critical situations

Finance & Admin. Services - Financial System Services 614,032 604,532 9,500 Due to our department being able to employ a student worker that is funded from Chancellor Student Aid funds, we will be able to cut our student salary budget. We will reassign the duties that have historically been the responsibility of or second student worker to other employees in the office.

Strategic Initiatives 285,168 271,184 13,984 The reduction of operating services to zero will severely limit the staff's ability to carry out all duties and functions of the office as outlined in the strategic plan and university's flagship agenda. The reduction of summer salary for the Vice Chancellor and Associate Vice Chancellor will impact their time to the strategic plan of the office.

Research & Econ Dev. - Vice Chancellor 1,586,179 1,499,269 86,910 This budget reduction will hinder the office’s ability to support and assist faculty with the development of new research and economic development opportunities.

1 Research & Econ Dev. - CAMD 2,577,846 2,448,954 128,892 We will utilize funds from a vacant position in addition to other funds from our operational services

budget and utilities. Utility costs have been down in part due to the lower utility costs and in part because we have scaled back operating hours. We will still be able to meet our mission at this time.

1 Research & Econ Dev. - Center for Energy Studies 2,376,475 2,265,252 111,223 Coupled with the previous budget reductions it will be difficult to meet pre-existing commitments on

research contracts and schedules, and will reduce the units ability to compete for grants and contracts. The Radiation Safety Office is unable to cut the budget and maintain the services required to maintain the University's license to use radioactive materials for research.

5 Research & Econ Dev. - Ctr. for Computation & Tech. 9,223,559 8,762,381 461,178 The reduction is going to drastically cripple CCT's ability to invest into Center-wide projects and new

technologies that will impact collaborative research and decrease the ability to attract external funding through grants and sponsored projects. Moreover, it will dramatically reduce our ability to support and maintain our computational and communication resources used for interdisciplinary courses offered by CCT faculty. This environment is going to impede the strategic momentum of growing and fostering a world class multidisciplinary research center. In particular strategically important areas for the State like computational biology and coastal modeling will have to be dropped from the strategic plan of the Center. Finally, these cuts are extremely detrimental in attracting a world-class permanent director to the CCT.

Research & Economic Dev. - Sea Grant 1,752,962 1,665,314 87,648 The cut to Sea Grant continues to reduce our effectiveness as the State's Sea Grant College. Loss of funds and inflation has reduced our ability to support the State's recovery from the recent hurricanes and the concomitant decline of our seafood industry. This current cut will permanently eliminate two of our graduate assistantships that are used in our outreach and education programs for the State. This will reduce our ability to recruit and train graduate students who would likely serve as leaders and stewards of the State's coastal resources.

1

Student Life 2,450,147 2,327,639 122,508 This reduction in funding for the Division of Student Life will result in a decrease in services and overall support to students. The transfer of funding from the general fund to a self-generated account will result in the loss of a position, decreasing departmental productivity, staff morale, and student interaction. The inability to fill a key vacancy will diminish student services and limit the Division's effectiveness in solving student challenges.

4

Communications & University Relations 1,771,032 1,682,480 88,552 This current mid-year budget cut will adversely impact the ability of the Office of Communications and University Relations to fulfill its mission to increase awareness of the University as a nationally competitive research institution and to build the image of the institution at a time when it is critical to attract prospective students and faculty. The cut leaves the department with no funds for capital outlay, staff travel or professional development opportunities. It eliminates the opportunity to fill a vacant production manager position that is critical to the day-to-day operation of the department. It reduces funds for an operating services budget that is already woefully small and it drastically cuts the budget for supplies for the simple daily function of the office

2

Institutional Fringe Benefits 62,980,640 61,320,772 1,659,868 The University will reduce the institutional fringe benefits budget to account for the reduction in vacant positions across campus.
