VPFA: Moseley to make final hiring choice
Continued from page 6
examine both sides of the access issue.
“We tend to think of access as what
you have to pay,” she said. “But anoth
er aspect of access is the program you
want available or whether it takes you
a year or two longer to finish your de
gree because the programs are so
sparsely spread.”
“That’s why it’s so important to
have a dialogue about that,” she said.
Lynne C. Schaefer
Schaefer most recently served as
vice president for finance and admin
istration at Oakland University in
Rochester, Mich., a post she left at the
end of 2004. Previous to that, she
worked in a variety of administrative
roles at Wayne State University in De
troit and for the Michigan Department
of Treasury.
In an e-mail, Schaefer described her
self as a “team-builder,” and she be
lieves this characteristic would be key
in the integration of the new adminis
trative unit.
“I am also an advocate for the kind
of collegial, consensus-building envi
ronment that the University has devel
oped over the years,” she said. “I be
lieve in shared governance and am
quite comfortable operating in such an
environment.”
Schaefer also explained how she
would approach the administrative in
tegration.
“My vision for the financial and ad
ministrative operations of the Univer
sity is (to) provide the human, finan
cial and physical infrastructure
necessary to support top-quality aca
demic programs and support for stu
dents,” she said. “These departments
serve the University’s core mission of

teaching, research and service.”
Schaefer said she will manage the fi
nancial challenges by tightening up the
budget and finding new sources of rev
enue.
“It is a tough balancing act to make
sure the University has the resources to
maintain high-quality academic pro
grams and yet not to price education
out of reach for our students,” she
said. “My own approach is to strive to
make the budget as tight as it can be,
reduce costs where possible, hold the
line on increases where possible and
find additional sources of revenue.”
Nonetheless, Schaefer said she ex
pects tuition and fees to remain a pri
mary source of revenue.
Schaefer added that partnerships
with the private sector are extremely
valuable.
“Staying in close touch with busi
ness, industry, government and the
public in general is a great way to
make sure that the University and its
programs remain relevant to those we
serve,” she said.
She added that the University
should be careful to maintain its role
as a public institution.
“ (The VPFA will) play a very impor
tant stewardship role in safeguarding
the public’s investment in the Univer
sity, making sure that funds provided
to the University from the state, stu
dents and their parents, donors, gov
ernment, business and others are
spent appropriately and for the pur
poses intended,” she said.
Frances L. Dyke
Dyke is the associate vice president
for budget and finance at the Universi
ty. She has also worked as the director
of the Business Office and has held a
number of other positions with finan
cial duties within the University.
In terms of administrative integra
tion, Dyke said the administration is al
ready run fairly efficiently.
“One thing is we can provide better
services to the University by having
these units work together,” she said. “I
think we can optimize the service we
provide and maybe provide new serv
ices with collaborative thinking.”
Dyke added that the new adminis
trative structure will have to be strong
enough “to carry us through the next
10 or 15 years.”
She added that she would meet with
key administrators to see how the ad
ministration might be better run and
increase the amount of workforce
training. Communication, she said,
would be critical.
Dyke said she would rather not see
programs cut in light of dire financial
times.
“In tight financial times you have to
think about all the options,” she said.
“We’d have to cut programs deeply,
and that really changes the nature of
the education you can get.”
Dyke also wants to seriously exam
ine the accessibility issue.
“I think there are students that we
have priced out, and we need to deal
with that,” she said.
She added that in pursuing private
funding sources, the University should
keep board members “well informed
of what the mission of the University
is and to have them buy into our
ethics.”
“ (We need) to get them to be real
partners in how we think about public
education, and it’s their job to make
sure people are on the same page. ”
