‘ OmbUds- column 1 More cuts to ~come!

By Jacinta Gallant

We’ve all been hearing the word “cutbacks”, but how many of us have stopped to realize the real impact that the proposed government cutbacks will have on stu- dents?

Unfortunately, most stu- dents get caught up in their day-to-day academic pres- sures and have little time for analyzing policy decisions.

The bottom line is summer jobs and accessibility to higher education.

Over the next few months, a campaign will be launched to promote student awareness and initiate student response to this important issue. Watch for it!

Even closer to home —— the financial situation here at UPEI is worsening. As fund- ing is decreased, and costs are increased, the university faces some very important deci- sions in placing priorities on spending.

We, as students, must look realistically at the situation and present our interests to the Board of Governors’ Budget Committee. Here’s an idea of what’s been happen-

ing. When the university re- quests . funds from the

government, it makes its re— quests through the Maritime Provinces Higher Education

Commission (MPHEC).

The MPHEC can only make recommendations to the provincial government re-. questing funds to be allocated to UPEI. Then the provincial government makes its own decision to give a predictably lower amount to the univer- sity through transfer of federal government funds.

Universities in Canada can- not run at a deficit. In the

705, UPEI alternated deficit,

and surplus years, until 1981. In 1981, student enrollment increased measurably (400 new students) and the admi- nistration made some ac- counting changes in their year end. These changes contri- buted to the discovery of a surplus of $700,000 with

which to operate the uni-

versity.

Because of this‘ surplus, UPEI has been enjoying the luxury of operating at a deficit which’was balanced by money from the surplus. However, all good things must come to an end. '

The surplus is projected to be diminished by April 30, 1985. This means that UPEI must change its operations to operate at a break even- point.

The Budget Committee is faced with serious problems — they have to allocate with less money. This means cuts have torcome. .

The Budget Committee meets over the year to plan for the next year. They re- ceive input from the Deans, department V heads, and administrators of the univer- sity. The only thing they hear from students is what our student rep, Kenny Mutter, can present to them.

We need to have input in this process. What priorities do we want to see put for- ward in the budget?‘ Do we Want the imminent cuts to

-» affect academic program-

ming, or student services? Only by making ourselves

aware of the various stages ' in the budget process can we

effect change.

I’m willing to work with Kenny Mutter,’ our rep to Budget Committee, ‘in in- forming students of what’s happening. We need to hear from you! ' ,
