Corzine to Cabinet: Find $3 billion in budget cuts Only school aid, rebates appear safe as governor looks to avert fiscal disaster next year Saturday, October 13, 2007 State appropriations per student have not changed in real $$; very best case is they stay flat; pressure on state budget is to higher ed appropriations
About 65% of the revenue to deliver the educational program comes from tuition and fees. Pressure is to tuition increases; additional revenue comes from additional enrollment
Enrollment increase through • Marketing • Recruiting • MS programs • “New” programs (I want a larger school; NJIT does not offer the program I want)
Competitor Programmatic Strategies Expand into sub-disciplines: subdividing Extend program range into non-technical areas: broadening Measured development toward new, “traditional” degrees In addition Invigorate/reinvigorate programs
Conclusions “Business” is different than 15 years ago We need to behave as a tuition driven institution Need to be competitive Environmentally (campus physical plant/college neighborhood/student life) Programmatically
Enrollment/Resource Development • 30 “new” (many subdivided and/or repackaged) programs over three years) • 26 tenure –track hires over two years • All “Early Retirement” funds folded back into tenure-track positions • Additional faculty hires dependent on enrollment increases
