Invest Syracuse means $30 million in administrative cuts. We should know what they are. - Daily Orange Editorial Board

The university has identified $20 million of potential cuts within its budget as part of the $30 million savings goal. That leaves $10 million — or more — for cuts that are still undecided. Still, that number indicates SU has made some substantial plans for what on-campus services will be affected. We just don’t know what they are yet. SU administrators should value communication and giving fair warning with all plans under the Invest Syracuse umbrella, especially when they affect jobs and student services. Otherwise, the university could face backlash similar to the protests that followed its hush-hush closure of the Advocacy Center in 2014. It’s been said before, but it’s worth repeating as the university develops this 5-year initiative: When SU cuts services, it should strive for transparency from proposal to execution. http://dailyorange.com/2017/09/invest-syracuse-means-30-million-administrative-cuts-know/
