  44. What is happening with Departments?

  45. State Budget Cuts in 2011 • At least 43 states have implemented cuts to public colleges and universities and/or made large increases in college tuition to make up for insufficient state funding. • Tuition hikes ranging from 8% to 32% • Furloughs • Layoffs • Academic reorganization • Position eliminations • Hiring fewer tenure-eligible faculty • Higher teaching loads Source: Center on Budget and Policy Priorities http://www.cbpp.org

  46. Which Programs are Threatened? • A brief email survey was sent to approximately 512 departments in Spring 2011 • 219 departments responded (43% response rate) • We asked the following questions: • Has your department/program lost or gained faculty in the past 2 years?  If so, by how many? • Has your department/program experienced an increase or decrease in undergraduate and/or graduate enrollment?  If yes, please indicate the trend(s) you are experiencing. • Has your department/program been notified by your administration that it is in danger of being terminated, downsized or combined with another department?  If so, please tell us what you expect to happen. • Are you aware of any other anthropology programs at other institutions that are being threatened or endangered?  If so, please identify them for us.
