PROCEDURES FOR SELECTING A PRESIDENT
FOR COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY
When the Board of Agriculture determines that the position of President of Colorado State University is to become vacant, the President of the Board will announce the vacancy and initiate the following selection procedures for filling the position. Selection will normally require several months.
To initiate the selection process, the Board will select at least three
of its members to sit as a Board Selection Committee ( BSC) and will request
the Faculty Improvement Committee ( FIC), the Faculty Council Committee on
Committees ( FCCC), the Associated Students of Colorado State University ( ASCSU),
the Graduate Student Council ( GSC), the Board of Directors, Colorado State
University Alumni Association,
and the Classified Personnel Council to identify
individuals, as described below, to constitute a Preside' tial Selection
Advisory Committee ( PSAC).
Membership of the PSAC will consist of one undergral' uate student; one graduate student; one alumus/ alumna; one administrative : rofessional staff
member; one member of the staff of the Extension Service and the State Forest
Service pooled together; one administrator at the rank o= vice president, dean
or director; six academic faculty members; and one membe- of the BSC who will
serve as an ex officio non- voting member of the committe=e. Although selected
from various parts of the University community, the memb=ers of the PSAC will
be expected to represent the entire University, and not any limited group.
This distribution of membership is intended to make avai' able to the committee' s deliberations a diversity of experience with the University.
No member of PSAC of member of the immediate familyof a PSAC member
will be considered as a condidate for the presidency.
Selection of the Advisory Committee
During this selection process, the BSC may establis a reasonable deadline for naming members of the PSAC. Beyon4 that deadline, 1e State Board may
fill any positions left unfilled with persons from the relevant constituencies Any vacancy that occurs during the period of operation cf the PSAC will be
filled by the original election procedures within a reasnable period.
The undergraduate student member of the PSAC will t' nominated by the
3- 1( b)

The graduate student will be designated by the Graduate Student Council
after receiving applications from interested graduate students.
The member of the PSAC from the Alumni Association will be designated
1
from among members of that Association by the A Lumni Association Board.
The member of the PSAC from the University' s classified personnel will
be designated by the Classified Personnel Council.
The FIC will conduct an election among the administrative -professional
staff for one member of the administrative - professional staff to serve on the ' PSAC. The administrative - professional staff will submit nominations, with
the three monomees receiving the highest number of nominations appearing on
II
the final ballot. A plurality of votes on the final ballot will be sufficient
to elect.
1
In the same manner, the FIC will conduct an election among the staff of
the Cooperative Extension Service and the State Forest Service pooled together" for one member from either the Cooperative Extension Service of the State
Forest Service.
In the same manner, the FCCC will conduct an election among the members
11
of the President' s Executive Council for one member of the rank of vice preside t,dean, or director.
The FCCC will conduct an election among the academic faculty for six members
of the PSAC. Of these six, at least one must be a woman, at least one a man,
il
least one a minority person ( a list of eligible persons will be provided by the Office of Equal Opportunity) and no more than one may be from any one college '
or unit of the University.* The election procedure will be as follows:
a) Nominating ballots will be sent to all members of the academic faculty who
may nominate up to 6 persons; b) A final ballot listing the 12 persons with
the largest number of votes, and who meet the membership qualifications, will
a
be prepared and mailed to all members of the academic faculty. Each elector
II
may vote for a maximum of 6 persons; c) The 6 candidates receiving the greatest number of votes, and fulfilling the membership qualifications, shall be elect" to the PSAC.
The BSC will designate one of its voting members as a non- voting member
I
of the PSAC.
The' college or unit assignments of persons included to meet the sex and
minority qualifications will not be considered in the selection process.

The Chair of each electoral body will report the outcome of the elections it has conducted to the Executive Director of the Board of Agriculture.
When the members for the PSAC have been reported to the Executive Director
of the Board, or the established BSC deadline has been reached, the Executive
Director will verify that the required selection procedures have been followed and will then report the membership of the PSAC to the President of the Board
and to the Chair of the BSC. Any vacancies that are present on the PSAC at
this time may be filled by the Board from among the relevant constituencies. The Faculty Representative on the State Board of Agriculture will convene and chair the first meeting of the PSAC. The business of that meeting will include the election of a Chair and a Recording Secretary from the members of
the PSAC.
Members of the BSC are to be notified of and invited to all meetings of
the PSAC. The PSAC and BSC shall seek advice of the University Director of
Equal Opportunity to assure full compliance with all equal opportunity and
affirmative action policies.
During the entire search and selection process, no public statements
concerning the business of the committee are to be made by the PSAC or any
of its members. All such statements will come from the Board of Agriculture or, by the Board' s authorization, from the BSC.
Soliciting Candidates
The first task of the PSAC, after selection of its Chair and Recording
Secretary, will be to study currently adopted statements of the University' s
goals and objectives and prepare a description of the duties of the President
of the University, consistent with these goals and objectives. From this
description, then, the PSAC will prepare a statement of the qualifications
required' of candidates for the presidency. These two documents -- the des-
cription of duties and the statement of qualifications -- will be recommended to the Board through the BSC.
When the Board has adopted a description of duties and a statement of
qualifications, the BSC will prepare an announcement of the open position and
an invitation for nominations and applications. This will be disseminated
as widely as practicable through the public media, professional publications, and other appropriate channels for reaching potential candiates.
3- 1( d)
Nominations and applications from all sources will be considered.
1
II
Specific requests for nominations should be sent to such groups as the executive
officers of all other land grant institutions and other selected universities," members of the Colorado State Legislature, and members of the Colorado Com- mission on Higher Education. Each applicant will be given a copy of the
position description and the statement of qualifications.
Screening
ProceduresII
The next task of the PSAC will be to establish screening procedures which
will effectively select the best qualified candidates and comply fully with
all equal opportunity and affirmative action policies. Through these procedur ,
the PSAC will select and recommend to the BSAC a slate of at least 25 and no
11
more than 30 candidates.
The PSAC and BSC, under the direction of the Chair of the BSC, will joint
decide what further means for gathering information about the remaining candid e
should be employed. When the BSC. and the PSAC determine that sufficient informa-
tion has been gathered, the two committees, at a joint meeting chaired by the!'
Chair of the BSC, will select three or more candidates for final interviews on campus.
1
Final Selection
These final candidates, together with their spouses, will be invited by
II
the Board to the campus. The PSAC will act as host for these visits and willbe responsible for arranging interviews and other means of interaction ofII
each candidate with appropriate administrative officers, campus groups,, and
the general faculty and staff. Interviews will also be arranged with the
BSCII
and the PSAC. ,
During these visits, the Board of Agriculture will conduct interviews of
il
the candidates in either open or closed sessions, at the discretion of the
Board. Following these visits and interviews the BSC and PSAC shall decide •
whether additional information is needed, and, if so, how to secure it,
il
whether by way of campus visitation or other procedures.
When the BSC and PSAC determine that sufficient information has been
II
gathered, the PSAP will give the Board, through the BSC, its evaluation of
each of those candidates.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Moved, that the Board approve the Mission and Purpose
Statement for CSU Intercollegiate Athletics and Policies
for Implementation, as recommended by the CSU Institutional. Committee.
EXPLANATION:
The CSU Institutional Committee met December 28, 1979. After discussion and review of the modest changes in the Mission and
Purpose Statement, the Committee voted unanimously to recommend
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
A. Mission and purpose statement.
The mission of varsity intercollegiate athletics at Colorado State
University is to offer to interested male and female student athletes
an opportunity to participate in intercollegiate athletic competition;
to provide a focal point where students, faculty, alumni and the com-
munity may identify with the University; and to project a favorable public image of CSU. The potential of intercollegiate athletics is
part of the total educational potential of the University. The Uni-
versity is committed to equal opportunity in athletic programs for men
and women. In athletic programs, as in all of its endeavors, Colorado State University is committed to the pursuit of excellence and to
integrity.
B. Policies for implementation.
1. Colorado State University should maintain its program of inter-
collegiate athletic competition, and should pursue a course of
controlled and selective enrichment of its various sports.
2. Colorado State University should make as the item of highest priority
in its program of intercollegiate athletics the provision of equity and equality of opportunity in men' s and women' s sports. It should be one of the top priorities of the State Board of Agriculture, the
University administration and the faculty and student governments to
propose means from one year to the next to realize equality of
opportunity.
3. The Administration of Colorado State University should be committed
to eliminating the current budgetary deficit in the Athletics Depart-
ment over the next three years, and to operating with a balanced
annual budget.
4. The Administration of Colorado State University should undertake
measures to increase the revenue available for intercollegiate
athletics. The Faculty Council should join a collective effort by
faculty, administrators, and students at CSU to press the issue
of special financial support for women' s athletics at the level
of the State Board of Agriculture, the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, and the Colorado Legislature.
S. CSU' s representatives to the National Collegiate Athletic Association
NCAA) and the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women
AIAW) should propose and support changes in NCAA and AIAW policies
to control or decrease expenses for high cost sports.
6. CSU' s representatives to the NCAA and AIAW should discuss with the State Board of Agriculture the institutional stance to be assumed

ASSESSING AND INCREASING FACULTY PRODUCTIVITY
in the State Colleges and Universities of Colorado
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This document is an executive summary of the attached report prepared for the Colorado Commission on Higher Education by Dr. Thomas R. Mason in response to Footnote 38a of the 1979- 80 Long Appropriations Bill ( S. B. 525).
The study by Dr. Mason was developed in consultation with a Policy
Advisory Committee, chaired by Dr. Guy T. McBride, Jr., President, Colorado
School of Mines, consisting of representatives of the governing boards and faculty and three lay citizens.
What follows is a summary of each of the sections of the full report
with the specific recommendations printed in italics.
SECTION 1 - THE MEANING OF FACULTY PRODUCTIVITY
Faculty Productivity is defined to express the values attributed to the outcomes of the processes of instruction, research and public services
performed by faculty members relative to the costs ( inputs) of carrying out these processes.
Costs and the activities of the processes can be reasonably measured. The values of the outcomes are overwhelmingly matters for informed judgments.
Inputs to faculty productivity include qualifications and experience
of the faculty; preparation and potential of students; and the resources required for faculty to function.
Processes include instruction ( both organized courses and informal
interaction research, scholarship, and creative work ( discovery, integration, and applications of knowledge); and public services ( consultation, practice,
and application of knowledge and skills).
Outputs or outcomes of faculty productivity include student change, knowledge, skills, and abilities; advancement of knowledge, understanding, technology, the arts...; services to business, labor, industry, government,
Executive Summary
PRODUCTIVITY Page 2
6- 1( b)
SECTION 2 - FACULTY PRODUCTIVITY WITHIN THE INSTITUTION
The individual faculty member is the Focus of the internal managerial
processes. The assessment, evaluation, and creative incentive climate for
improved faculty productivity begins with the person- to- person interaction of faculty peers. Institutional administrative processes judge the individual
faculty member as part of the group of faculty that collectively produces as a discipline and as components of a program offered by the institution.
Instructional load measures used in administrative decisions are input and process indicators; student credit hours produced are proxies of the output of instruction. They measure " throughput" generating outcomes.
Assessment of the values of the outcomes of faculty productivity is
done in the complex texture of judgment of quality, effectiveness, and
significance of the work of an individual faculty member. To find more
effective ways of communicating the internal institutional assessment of these
outcomes to governing boards, state agencies, and the public must become a
high priority of all concerned with quality state higher education in Colorado.
SECTION 3 - ROLES OF GOVERNING BOARDS
Governing boards monitor the quality, performance, effectiveness, and
productivity of institutional programs. Full delegation of administrative
responsibility and authority to the chief executive officer and academic policy
to the• faculty is the normal approach. Assessments of performance by the governing boards form the basis for state level program review.
SECTION4 - INPUTS TO FACULTY PRODUCTIVITY: A FORMULA BUDGET APPROACH
The basic inputs to faculty productivity are funded in Colorado state colleges and universities by appropriation and expenditure authorization by the General Assembly in the annual Long Appropriations Bill.
The levels of those expenditures are determined by the legislature based on the Guidelines for Formula Faculty. The Guidelines are a set of ratios
that relate the number of faculty needed for a specific number of students
to the academic discipline and levels of courses in which the students are
enrolled. The Guidelines are applied to FTE student enrollment reported by
academic discipline and level in Format 50M, Faculty Load Matrix of the
institutional budget request.
The Guideline ratios were developed, tested, and recommended after a two- year intensive study by a formula budget task force of the Colorado Association
of Public College and University Presidents ( CAPCUP) in 1976. The Guidelines
were incorporated into the state budget request forms and instructions for
Executive Summary
PRODUCTIVITY Page Three
4.4. I 4YV/. _ 1.4.... Wt
6- 1( c)
As the result of his study of the origins and use of the Colorado
Guidelines for Formula Faculty, analysis of approaches used by other states,
and responses from concerned constituent groups to the issues raised in the
study, the project manager for the faculty productivity plan has reached and reaffirmed the following conclusion:
That the Colorado Guidelines for Formula Faculty are
an appropriate, rational, workable, and comparatively
conservative way for the State of Colorado to determine the numbers of faculty positions it funds as inputs to the higher education productivity of the State' s
colleges and universities.
o It is recommended that the existing Guidelines for Formula
Faculty and Guidelines for Reporting FTE Enrollments for Statewide Budgeting as applied for Format 50M Faculty Load Matrix be
continued in the budget formation deliberations for the Fiscal Year 1980- 81.
It is clear that the Colorado guidelines approach now merits in- depth review for possible revision and refinement.
It is recommended that the Colorado Commission on Higher Education
establish early in 1980 a task force for evaluation and revision of the formula budget guidelines.
Representing the Commission, governing boards and institutions, and concerned state agencies, this task force should be charged with revisions
to be implemented as rapidly as can be completed. A progress report on the revision and refinement of the guidelines approach can be submitted
to the General Assembly in January, 1981.
The recommended evaluation and refinement of the Colorado guidelines
approach should be aimed at clarifying and strengthening their significance in " assessing and increasing faculty productivity."
SECTION 5 - ASSESSING AND INCREASING FACULTY PRODUCTIVITY BY EFFECTIVE PROGRAM REVIEW AND EVALUATION
As a result of this study, the project manager for the faculty
productivity plan finds there is one clear, workable approach to assessing and
increasiiig faculty productivey:
An organized, explicit, coherent process of institutional
program review and evaluation that is specifically intended to find ways of improving the effectiveness and quality of
program outcomes and of increasing the efficiency of the
Executive Summary
PRODUCTIVITY Page Four
6- 1( d)
This intensified system of program review and evaluation can build on
existing and traditional institutional self- evaluation processes, but these
must be greatly strengthened and made visible to the public as truly effective
and credible.
After reviewing the statutory authority of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education for program review and evaluation ( 1973 C. R. S. 23- 1- 101, 105, 107), the study describes the effective statewide processes of program
review and evaluation by institutions in the University of Wisconsin System and those coordinated by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.
The study finds that positive incentives are needed to make institutional self- evaluation processes effectively rigorous and fearless. Such positive
incentives are contained in " Proposed Changes in Higher Education Budgeting:
Changes in Appropriations Philosophy" now in Appendix D of the state higher
education master plan adopted in 1978 and the 1980 update be reaffirmed by the Commission for specific consideration by the General Assembly.
it is recommended that the " Proposed Changes in higher Education
Budgeting: Changes in Appropriations Philosophy" now in Appendix D of A Plan and a Process for Postsecondary Education in Colorado adopted by the Comission in 1978 be formally brought forward by
the Commission in 1980 for discussion with the General Assembly Joint Budget Committee and the Education Committees and the State Office
of Planning and Budgeting for implementation in 1981- 82 request
budgets ( See Appendix D in this report.)
The Colorado Commission on Higher Education and the six governing boards of Colorado' s state colleges and universities need to develop a statewide
system of institutional program review and evaluation aimed at a continuing
process of assessing and increasing faculty productivity in terms of the quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of program outcomes relative to the
costs of providing those programs.
Toward this end it is recommended that the Colorado Commission
on Higher Education, in consultation with the governing boards and their institutions, form a task force to design in detail and recommend a statewide system for comprehensive program review and
evaluation of Colorado' s state colleges and universities. This task
force should be formed inm ediateiy to begin work in January, 1980, to recommend a detailed system by July 1, 1980, for _implementation
during Fiscal ` tear 1980- 81.
In order for the statewide program of continuing institutional program
review and evaluation to be fully effective, a more explicit and coherent
definition of the outcomes expected from a given academic program is
Executive Summary PRODUCTIVITY Page Five
6- 1( e)
The project manager recommends that an early agenda item of the state- wide program review and evaluation task force be to ask the institutions to
develop definitions of expected purposes/ outcomes for each component of an
institutional program. If the recommended process of program review and
evaluation is to yield significant results in assessing and increasing faculty productivity, these definitions of expected purposes/ outcomes are essential.
The outcomes are the product, and better assessment of the values of the
outcomes is the central purpose of the program review and evaluation processes.

EXPLANATION:
Higher Education in Colorado has experienced significant trauma
this past year. Morale on campuses has dropped. Initiatives of
the Commission on Higher Education have resulted in careful scrutiny of faculty productivity, student transfers, capital outlay, budget
requests, professional education programs, and the Auraria Higher Education Center. The process has been painful but creative.
I am pleased to report that the higher education community has
responded to these initiatives. The 1980- 81 budget requests are
more nearly in line with fiscal realities. Institutional cooperation
at Auraria has increased markedly. Professional education programs have been redesigned. Student transfer issues are receiving Commis-
sion and governing board attention.
Faculty productivity remains an issue. We have first rate faculties
and I am convinced they will meet the challenge of continued fiscal
restraints. We must, however, compensate them properly and an increase in faculty salaries is essential.
I know of no other social institution as important to preparing Colo-
rado and Coloradans for the future as our system of higher education. I am proud of our institutions of higher education and believe that
each, in its own way, is essential to our investment in the future. Institutions are fragile things and it is time for a period of peace,

MINUTES OF THE
CSU INSTITUTIONAL COMMITTEE MEETING
DECEMBER 28, 1979
The CSU Institutional Committee met December 28, 1979, at 9: 30 a. m., in Fort Collins. Present were Chairperson Haddon; John Stencel, John Stegner, Dr. Roy Meek, Steve Meier and Eugene Petrone.
Guests Present: President Chamberlain, Dr. Charles Neidt, Thurman McGraw, Nancy O' Connor, Dr. Harry Troxell, Margaret Duncan, Dana Hiatt, James Bennett, James Banning, and members of the newspaper media.
The Committee reviewed, in detail, the revised Mission and Purpose Statement and the Policies for Implementation, and voted unanimously to recommend its adoption to the Board at the January 25, 1980 meeting. In endorsing the pro-
posal, the Committee called for a dramatic increase in revenue generation and
that the enhancement of women' s sports not unduly hamper the present revenue
sports.
Dr. Neidt provided the Committee with the background of how the Facilities Construction fee has been allocated. He indicated that he will recommend to the Board that the fee be divided 50/ 50 between the Student Center and Athletics, for a five- year period beginning in 1979- 80. The money, which
would be allocated to the Athletic Department, would be earmarked for the
women' s programs, to assist the University in achieving compliance with
Title IX. This action will come to the Board at the February meeting.
Fum McGraw, Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, and Nancy O' Connor, Director
of Women' s Athletics, highlighted for the Committee the Agenda Items for the
upcoming NCAA and AIAW conventions.
The Committee then reviewed the Procedures for Selecting a President for CSU. The Committee increased the size of the membership of PSAC by the addition of
two members, namely an additional student ( to accommodate representation of
both an undergraduate and graduate student) and a representative from the
Extension/ Forest Services. A Board member will serve in an exofficio capacity.
The Committee also amended the provision concerning the number of candidates
which PSAC will recommend to the BSC, by increasing the number to: at least 25
but no more than 30. The Committee asked Dr. Meek and Gene Petrone to prepare
the amended version for Board action at the January meeting.
Executive Director Petrone outlined the State' s attitude toward institutional contributions to Chambers of Commerce. He indicated how much, if any, our
institutions presently contribute. The Committee asked Mr. Petrone to report
back to the Board after assessing the benefits of individual vs. institutional

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
MOVED, That the Board approve the University of Southern Colorado' s
revision of its previously approved FY - 1980/ 81 Capital Construction
Budget Request.
EXPLANATION:
The University is responding to discussions which occurred during the formal budget hearing with the Joint Budget Committee and to a written
directive from the Chair of the . TBC, dated December 17, 1979, instructing
the University to prepare its own escalation of construction costs to

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN COLORADO
REVISED CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION BUDGET REQUEST FY - 1980/ 81
At the direction of the Joint Budget Committee, the University is revising
the project values of the previously submitted capital construction budget request
for fiscal year 1980/ 81. Each project is referenced to request numbers as appear-
ing in the table of contents of the formal budget request document. Due to the
varying nature of these projects, each escalated value is based upon the most
recent information available dealing with the particular requirements of each
project. A brief description of the process used is included. Figures in
brackets are values previously approved for the project in the original document.
1. 1 MOVABLE EQUIPMENT - OCCUPATIONAL TECHNOLOGY FACILITY ($ 910, 800) . $ 974, 556 Budget request was prepared based on catalog prices for
individual pieces of instruction equipment. Escalation
rate applied is 7%.
1. 2 UTILITY EXTENSION FOR OCCUPATIONAL TECHNOLOGY FACILITY ($ 315, 710) 344, 124
The price estimate prepared by the Project Engineer incorporated in original request was based on a January
estimated value. Escalation factor is 1. 5%/ mo. for 6 mos.
1. 3 PHYSICAL PLANT MAINTENANCE FACILITY ($ 831, 725) 981, 435 This project request is typical capital construction and
is escalated at the full 18% for one year.
1. 4 COMPLETION OF AIR- CONDITIONING PSYCHOLOGY/ CLASSROOM BLDG. ($ 54, 288) 59, 716
This project is highly labor intensive ' as the University has already purchased the majority of the equipment required
from previously appropriated funds. The prevailing wage agreements in the skilled construction trades virtually all terminate existing contract arrangements May, 1980. Industry
is expecting wage settlements of at least 10% increase and
we have escalated this project by that 10% factor.
1. 5 INTEGRATED DRAINAGE SYSTEM - Phase IV ($ 406, 000) 454, 720
This heavily labor intensive project involves service
activities, particularly excavation and similar types
of earth -moving equipment; as a combination, it has been escalated at a projected 12% annual rate. 1
1. 6 ARCHITECTURAL ACCESSIBILITY ($ 85, 975) 101, 450
Small remodeling project increased at full 18% annual escalation rate.

MATTERS FOR ACTION:
Resolution to open and desi_ nate authorized si: natures for KTSC
Channel 8 funds collected on behalf of the University through an
automatic contribution system provided by the Chase Manhattan Bank.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
MOVED, that the attached resolution to open and designate authorized
signatures for participation in the automatic distribution system
through the Chase Manhattan Bank be approved by the Board.
EXPLANATION:
The Chase Manhattan Bank offers a preauthorized payment plan as a
uniform service for all public broadcasting - stations across the
country. The plan is intended for those people who are members of
Channel 8 who pay their membership on a monthly basis. The members preauthorize the bank to make payment for their membership ( similar
plans are being used on home mortgage loans, life insurance premiums,
etc.) Many individuals are using these types of plans to save time and to save postage expenses, etc. This plan would relieve KTSC Channel 8 of the burden of billing and collecting fees from approxi- mately 800 current members. This convenient system for members
therefore reduces costs leaving more of each dollar contributed to fund programming.

NARRATIVE INFORMATION
Supporting Supplemental Request
1. NATURE AND CAUSE OF THE UNFORSEEN OCCURRENCE.
The 1979- 80 Operating Budget for the University of Southern Colorado imposed a reduction of 9. 3 FTE in
General Administration, 8. 4 FTE in the Learning Resources Center, and 3. 4 FTE in Student Services. The
University has been unable to accomplish its mission in a satisfactory manner under these conditions.
The Budget Request for 1980- 81 requests and justifies restoration of these FTE. During the current year,
however, personnel were obtained under the Federal CETA/ Manpower arrangement. We have just recently been informed that all such contracts will be terminated. Therefore, this unforeseen occurrence negates our ability to wait until action is taken on the 1980- 81 Budget Request. We, therefore, urgently require supplemental personnel immediately.
2. STEPS TAKEN TO REDUCE FINANCIAL IMPACT OF UNFORSEEN OCCURRENCE. IF THIS INVOLVES A TRANSFER, STATE THE TRANSFER ON BOTH LINE ITEMS AFFECTED.
Every effort is being made to utilize workstudy students where possible. Unfortunately, there are numerous
areas requiring skills beyond the capability of such personnel. Therefore, we are unable to adequately
reduce the impact of this unforseen occurrence.
3. ALTERNATIVE PLANS FOR ACTION ( in priority order) TO BE TAKEN IN CASE NO SUPPLEMENTAL IS FORTHCOMING.
In case no supplemental funding is forthcoming, it will be necessary to reduce numerous services such as:
cashier and collections activities in accounting, handicapped student and counseling services. library
services, and educational media services in general. Also, we are concerned, that in addition to this impact, we may be faced with an untenable situation that will result in our inability to maintain proper
fiscal integrity and therefore undesirable audit discrepancies will occur.

UNFORSEEN OCCURRENCE.
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION
Significant progress has been made in the area of restoring fiscal and management integrity to the
University of Southern Colorado in an environment where this may be the primary responsibility of a public
institution. Where the complexity and demands in this area require the ever increasing utilization of

strong leadership and organizational capacity always be provided to order to insure the protection of the rights and interests of the tax paying public. An arbitrary attitude on the part of the state government
to this fact leads to irresponsible leadership and an alarming disregard for the people served by such
institutions. Proper and adequate state support for the administrative capacity of this University is imperative at this critical juncture.
It has been reported in some quarters that this University is the " richest" with respect to General
Administration FTE to Faculty FTE. We challenge that position -- first, on the basis that we reject
the concept that there is any direct relationship between the number of faculty FTE and the requirement
for General Administration FTE. We take the position that workload data such as transactions, reports, etc.

and self -maintaining activities. Included in that analysis should be a determination if the source of
funding for all personnel is appropriate as determined by the nature of their work. It is our position
that standards cannot be applied in this area and that the analysis will conclusively show that -- but,

The University is requesting that cuts be restored from the 1979- 80 appropriation in General Adminis-
tration. The formula applied to General Administration is inappropriate. There is little basis in practice
for relating the number of FTE staff in General Administration directly to the number of faculty or of
students. Workload in General Administration relates primarily to demands imposed from outside the institu-
tion, such as Accounts and Control, State Planning and Budgeting, the Joint Budget Committee, the Colorado Commission on Higher Education ( CCHE), the Colorado Department of Personnel, HEW, Department of Labor,
