January 28th, 2011 WES) PERN CAROLINIAN Campus budget discussion set for Jan. 31 From Staff Reports What does an estimated $3.7 billion revenue shortfall for the state of North Caro- lina mean for Western Caro- lina University and the rest of the University of North Carolina system? That will be the subject of a campus- wide discussion hosted by Chancellor John W. Bardo at 3:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 31. . The forum, to be held in the performance hall of the Fine and Performing Arts Center, is designed to pro- vide members of all WCU * constituenciesfaculty, staff and studentswith an op- portunity to hear about pos- sible budget-reduction strat- egies from the universitys senior leadership team, and to offer feedback and sugges- tions. Members of Western Car- olinas Executive Council spent much of the first week after the holiday break in meetings to begin formulat- img the univetsitys response to requests from the Office of State Budget and Manage- ment and from UNC system _ leadership to prepare for a re- duction in up to 15 percent in state funding for the 2011-12 fiscal year, and for a 2.5 per- cent reversion of funding for the current fiscal year. The 2.5 percent reversion instituted by N.C. Gov. Bev- erly Perdue means the loss of $2.16 million in WCUs bud- get from the state this year. A Li) pecent cut for next fiscal _ years budget would result in the loss of $12.9 million in state revenue for the univer- sity. For each of us individu- ally and for the university community, these are very difficult times, Bardo said. However, during my more than 15 years of working with you, I have come to under stand and have great respect for your capacities, resil- ience, compassion and will- ingness to take on difficult tasks. We will come through these tough times and main- tain our focus on educating - the people of North Carolina and supporting the recovery of this region. The latest round of bud- getary bad news for the state comes on the heels of a string of budget cuts and rever- sions over the past several years, which have forced the university to significantly reduce its operations, said Robert Edwards, interim vice | chancellor for administration and finance. , A In 2009, the university decreased its budget by ap- proximately 8 percent, or $8,371,381, which resulted in the loss. of a total of 93.92 positions. Those steps were taken to address required re- ductions in the 2009-10 fiscal year budget, and to set aside funds for anticipated reduc- tions in the 2010-11 fiscal year and beyond, Edwards said. In fall 2010, Perdue called on all state agencies to pro- vide plans for reducing their budgets by 5 percent, 10 percent and 15 percent; how- ever, UNC General Admin- istration initially was able to negotiate the elimination of a 15 percent budget reduction plan for universities. For Western Carolina University, a 5 percent bud- get cut would equal about $4,319,437, an amount that could be covered by its bud- get reduction action taken in 2009, with no additional loss of positions, Edwards said. A 10 percent reduction would mean the loss of $8,638,874 in state funding, which would potentially eliminate 41.08 positions in the 2011- 12 fiscal year budget, he said. Although the UNC sys- tem previously had been exempt from planning for a 1S percent cut scenario, the states worsening budget pic- ture has led outgoing UNC president Erskine Bowles. and his successor, Tom Ross, to issue a joint memorandum to the chancellors calling on them to prepare a plan for 15 percent reduction in state funding. That process is now under way. It is very clear that this process of budget reduc- tions and reversions will be difficult and must be taken with utmost care, Bardo FILE PHOTO Chancellor John W. Bardo and his executive council will hold a budget discussion at 3:30 p.m. on Jan, 31. said. To provide guidance to the process, the Executive - Council has worked to define a set of guiding principles as we go forward. Those guiding principles are: The core mission of the university should be the first - driver of budget decision- making Leg To the extent feasible, fo- cus should be on increasing effectiveness and efficiency: Within the academic area the following academic. pro- gram prioritization criteria will support budget decision- making: Mission and strate- gic criticality, program qual- ity, cost and ica aaa sustainability and revenue, internal demand and produc- tivity Because state funds are based primarily on enroll- ment, minimizing enrollment loss should be a priority State and federal law, the Code of the UNC Board of Governors, and campus. community health and safety _ are all critical considerations Basic operations of the university must continue to function at an appropriate level Implementing . furlough days may be considered As part of WCUs re- sponse to the states budget crisis, and at the direction of the state budget office and UNC General Administra- tton, the university has initi- ated a soit hiring freeze un- til further notice. Executive Council is working to define the term critical positions and clarify the hiring process for those positions deemed critical. Approval of Execu- tive Council is required for all new position postings and before any hiring offers are made for searches already in progress. Executive Council also will be establishing guide- lines on travel and spending restrictions for the remainder of this fiscal year and for the next fiscal year. New half marathon to be held at WCU this spring From Staff Reports Runners will have an op- portunity to test their leg muscles this spring by par- ticipating in a brand-new half marathon in the pastoral communities surrounding Western Carolina University. The Valley of the Lilies Half Marathon will get under way at 7 a.m. Sunday, April 3, from the start area in the center of WCUs campus. The 13.1-mile course will take runners on a scenic jour- ney through the Cullowhee ' Valley and along the Tucka- seigee River before winding back onto the campus for the finish. Packet pickup will be held at the start area on race morning from 5:30 to 6:30 a.m., but race organizers ex- pect other packet pickup op- portunities will be offered in the area on both Friday and Saturday evenings before the race. Runners will find numer- ous aid stations with water and sports drink along the route, and mile-markers will help them chart their prog- ress. All registered runners _ will receive a technical run- ning shirt and goody bag. Race sponsors are WCUs School of Health Sciences and Campus Recreation Cen- ter. Proceeds will be used to support student professional travel. The race organizing com- mittee is putting extra empha- sis on encouraging both new and experienced runners to take on the challenge of run- ning a half marathon. for the first time, said Ashley Long, committee co-chair and as- sistant professor for WCUs athletic training program. To that end, a 12-week training program will be offered to all registered runners, and those. who live in the local area can take advantage of organized group training runs, Long said. The 12-week program will begin Wednesday, Jan. 19, Committee co-chair Jay Scifers, director of the School of Health Sciences, said the half marathon in Cullowhee will be unique in the expertise that will = F ttagics & = er VALLEYS: tHe LILIES 2011 HALF MARATHON be made available to the race training group through the faculty and staff of the school, including advice on nutrition and injury preven- tion and care. Many academic programs on WCUs campus will be involved in the race, Scifers said. As an example, stu- dents in the art program will be making hand-crafted ce- -ramic medals for age-group winners. i Race organizers expect _ the Valley of the Lilies Half Marathon to be an annual happening. Long said their wish. is for the event to be- come a destination race that will lure athletes from out- side Western North Carolina to spend a spring weekend, The WCU campus is located in the heart of the South- ern Appalachian Mountains and is a short drive from the oo UNIVERS; > Blue Ridge Parkway, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and Cherokee, home of the Eastern Band of Chero- kee Indians.
