Think strategically, with a 5-10 year outlook and our College mission, vision and goals in mind.
Maintain flexibility and take advantage of the least disruptive opportunities.
Currently filled tenured and tenure-track faculty positions will not be subject to budget reductions.
Ensure process
transparency.
Act with the expectation that there could be another equally large cut required in FY 2011 as the economic downturn may persist.
Consider the advisability of eliminating functions now,
given the dire outlook and need for
substantial reductions.
