University-wide budget redirection reduced to 7.5% for academic affairs - Brendan Ward, George-Anne

Georgia Southern University Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Carl Reiber announced at Wednesday's Faculty Senate meeting that the 10% budget redirection has been reduced to a 7.5% for Academic Affairs. "Originally it was a 10% redirect," Reiber said in the meeting. "Academic Affairs was then told 7.5% because we could not get to 10% without firing people, tenure, tenure track, etc." The initial 10% budget redirection was announced at the March Faculty Senate meeting by Rob Whittaker, vice president for Business and Finance. http://www.thegeorgeanne.com/news/article_febd376d-3627-5f26-804f-4823a452e215.html
