  1. Three Perspectives on Thriving in the Midst of Budget Reductions "Modified" World Café

  2. First Conversation: Restructuring the Unit as a Budget Reduction Response George Hynd, Arizona State University

  3. What creative ideas alternatives have emerged in the thinking associated with the budget crisis? What are some models you wish you could try? Are faculty productive or resistant when it comes to restructuring? What is one strategy you use to encourage productive faculty involvement in deciding on college structure? Is transparency desirable? Possible? When jobs are at stake, how close do you keep the decisions?

  4. Second Conversation: Staying Warm in the Hiring Freeze Olga Welch, Duquesne University

  5. What techniques have been successful in re-allocating work in the midst of the freeze? What are productive ways to get beyond the predictable whining that can infect a faculty? In particular, how does a dean maneuver around the argument that we can’t do (whatever) because of all the cuts? What management techniques outside the context of the faculty meeting assist you in encouraging positive and productive faculty behavior?

  6. Third Conversation: Does the Budget Crunch Mean and End to Partnerships? Ginnie McLaughlin, College of William and Mary

  7. How do you prioritize the relationships you will invest in during times of cutting back? Who do you have to convince of the priorities? What strategies have you used to keep the organization favorably in the eye of the public despite the cut-backs? When and how do you “cover” for a partner whose own financial circumstances disrupt projects or goals?
