Faculty: Plan would cost $6 million per year

give based on the numbers,” he said.
Moseley emphasized that the solu
tion to the problem is not so simple.
“Let’s not get a message out that
there’s some simple solution if the
administration would just get off its
rear end,” he said.
But Hsu said he questions the ad
ministration’s commitment to the
White Paper guidelines.
“If the administration honestly pri
oritized it, they could find the money
for this,” he said.
The implementation would
require $6 million per year, which
Hsu said he believes is merely
incidental when compared to the
University’s entire budget.
“It’s a very small amount compared
to other expenses ... in the University,”
he said. “The $6 million ... would
come to about $300 for each student. ”
Thblitz said reinvesting in faculty
compensation wouldn’t necessarily
mean taking money out of students’
pockets.
“We’re talking about raising fac
ulty salaries instead of building a
$200 million arena,” he said. “It’s
not an issue of choosing salaries for
faculty over services for students;...
the higher administration can cut
their salaries.”
Kellman said the University could
use money from private sources to
fund the increases.
“The University could enlist
alumni, donors, supporters in an ef
fort to solve this problem, but it
doesn’t seem to make the effort,” he
said. “It’s much easier not to rock
the boat.”
Kellman added that other Univer
sity investment endeavors cost
far more than what the University
Senate is asking for.
“The University community is
working toward a world-class arena
— and that’s fine — but does al
most nothing about the fact that fac
ulty salaries are at the bottom of the
heap,” he said. “Isn’t there some
thing grotesque about the sense
of priorities?”
