Provost chats budget at ‘fireside’

Of tt># Emerald
Restoring faculty salaries and preventing
spiraling tuition are two major budgetary con
cerns according to Richard Hill, University vice
president
Hill, vice president for academic affairs and
provost, discussed the budget and other things
Thursday afternoon at the honor's college first
fireside chat this year
Hill said he will have no hard information until
the governor announces his budget in December,
but he does not expect the University budget to
increase in the next two years
"In the last biennium we have cut eight
million dollars — there is not a lot more to cut." he
said These cuts included faculty salary increases
and a complete freeze on administration salary,
"Preventing spiraling of tuition is a very high
priority, but we can't keep clobbering the faculty,"
he said
The only way to save a large hunk of money
is to cut programs," Hill said, but added that this is
not likely. In the last 10 years the University has
closed three programs: home economics, the
Wallace School of Community Service and Public
Affairs and the School of Librarianship
He said when a budget goes in for consider
ation "you hope you'll survive, but for a year your
flexibility is gone " The library for example has
been existing on a maintenance budget
Conversion of the computer system to handle
preregistration was also discussed This conver
sion "has proved more vexing than anyone had
believed," he said
"The computer situation five years ago bor
dered on disaster because of the antiquity of the
hardware Since acquiring the new system we
have made much more progress in academic and
research computing than in administrative com
puting,” he said
A limited preregistration for courses that
people have had the most trouble getting is hoped
to be operative in the Spring, Hill said
