FS 07-23/Flr.

Resolution for Protecting Academic Programs at CSUS

Whereas, Funds for Academic Affairs and the instructional program at CSU Sacramento have been severely reduced over the last decade, resulting in a decline in tenured and tenure-track faculty recruited and retained, cancelled courses and overcrowded classes; and

Whereas,
The numbers of administrators (MPP) have grown out of proportion to faculty hires and student enrollments, and their salaries have been increased to the detriment of necessary campus programs; and

Whereas, University Advancement Offices should be able to raise at least the equivalent of their annual budgets by their own fund-raising activities; therefore be it

Resolved,
The Faculty Senate recommends there shall be a freeze effective immediately on all hiring and salary increases for CSUS employees classified as part of the Management Personnel Plan (MMP) and whose salaries are paid entirely or in part from the General Fund; the freeze to remain in effect until the Faculty Senate determines that new hiring or salary augmentations will not adversely affect the hiring of full-time tenure track faculty members and the instructional budget for Academic Affairs; and, be it further

Resolved The Faculty Senate recommends the University Advancement Office shall by the beginning of the 2009-2010 fiscal year fund its entire budget from monies it has been able to generate from non-CSU sources.
