What if this plan doesnt work and we are not able to balance expenses and revenues in the next several years?
Frankly, we dont know at his point. The College Forest reserves give us some time to explore options, seek new revenues and realize the potential from reorganization. If our fiscal imbalance cannot be significantly resolved we will have to revisit those strategic decisions about degree and program retention and then have a much broader strategic discussion about the right mission for a smaller College. By implementing cost reductions now through reorganization and other means we demonstrate to constituents and the University administration that the College is doing its part to remain fiscally viable and meet the needs of students, employers, and stakeholders.
