  1. 19) No classes with fewer that 15 students should be held unless that faculty wants to teach it as an overload 20) We need to protect the probationary faculty and not ask them to take on extra teaching 21) If we do add more teaching to our loads, there needs to be a time limit set -- we'll do this only for as long as the budget is in distress or however that would be worded. 22) Encourage the university to freeze salaries IF that would protect funds for part-time faculty and preserve the structure of research time. 23) One additional thought would be to turn down thermostats in the building by 2 - 5 degrees. 24) Examine the percentage of salary increase to the College’s administration over the past few years as compared to the percentage of salary increase to faculty. 5% pay cut for upper administration for one year. 25) College wide hiring freeze. 26) College wide salary reductions. 27) All studios should have at least 14 students taught by 1 faculty member. 25 or more students would warrant two faculty. 28) Travel funds should be targeted for tenure-track faculty. 29) Use electronic rather than printed invitations to parties and social events. 30) Flush the toilets only once per day. 31) Work to increase general University enrollment in CoD classes. 32) Faculty without productive research or administrative responsibilities should teach an extra class. 33) Consider a new category of tenure-track appointments with a teaching emphasis. These people would teach more classes. 34) Increase graduate enrollment. 35) Evaluate all new hires with respect to how they could impact the budget model. 36) Create more extension appointments in the College and expect these people to pursue grants. 37) Teach fewer electives. 38) Provide more funding to IDRO to improve opportunities for funded research. 39) Teach more summer, evening and weekend courses to make better use of the building. 1) Eliminate the COD graduation ceremony. Using budget issues is a great opportunity to discontinue this event. If doing this, let students know in plenty of time. 2) Eliminate or cut the budget on the 2 COD social events: fall party (convocation in August) and party after the fall semester is over (December) 3) Monitor & decrease budget for faculty, administrative staff and DEO travel to conferences, events, etc. 4) Administrative salaries. When I began teaching (27) years ago, my salary as an assistant professor was about half of the chair's and a third of the Dean's. 27 years later as a tenured associate professor, I would see a tremendous raise to appreciate that same comparative salary. What does that tell you? 5) Rome program has to go. We all benefited from it, but no school that has that kind of overseas presence is as poor as ours. Per FTE it can no longer qualify it's existence. 6) All tenured faculty teach foundations 7) Fewer administrators (No associate chairs) per department. one less associate Dean 8) No computer labs. Across the board laptop requirement for all COD students. Aren't computer labs and laptops redundant? 9) My first suggestion is that the college or the liaison council itself should have at least one open forum on the budget thatis open to staff and faculty 10) Is IDRO cost effective? 11) Do we need associate chairs? 12) Is the Rome Program sustainable? 13) Is the Core Program cost effective and can we require that more faculty teach in it (unfortunately this would eliminate some Lecturer positions)? 14) Could we somehow consolidate the DRR and VRC? Perhaps the computer labs and Print Center could be incorporated as well into one larger media center. 15) How many computer labs do we need? 16) Could we increase class size? 17) Would a consolidation of classes between the disciplines result in faculty reduction? 18) Could early retirement and/or early retirement incentives provide some budget relief?
