SWSiouxMN Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I'm happy for Hesham too (I knew him a little bit when I worked my job in the Engineering building as an undergrad). I wish he just had that opportunity here (or at least was the vice-Provost instead of the former Dean of Arts and Sciences). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 U of Akron is offering buyouts for 47% of faculty. That puts UND’s cuts in perspective. https://www.cleveland.com/news/2019/03/university-of-akron-offers-buy-out-to-47-percent-of-faculty.html?outputType=amp&__twitter_impression=true Akron is going all in to become a STEM university. The history, psychology, social justice departments, etc don’t stand a chance. Kent St, Cleveland St and Youngstown St are all within a short drive. Akron intends to be different. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After throwing everything in excel, UND is at about 16.2 million in revenue (not counting allocated funds) which is good for 76th in the country out of 227. This doesn't even count suit or concessions sales at the ralph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't even count suit or concessions sales at the ralph. Agreed. While all numbers in the report need to be taken with a grain of salt due to the creative accounting that goes in college athletics, UND's specifically do because of the relationship with the REA which tends to skew things even further. Even with that caveat, UND ranks 73rd out of 227 schools reporting in lowest percentage, so right around the top 1/3 least reliant on allocated funds. For comparison NDSU - 29.81% (55th) SDSU - 42.65% (63rd) USD - 63.38% (110th) Omaha - 51.67% (80th) WIU - 74.46% (150th) UMKC - 89.82 (225th) Also not trying to start anything, since NDSU continues to be the leader in the Summit, but their allocated funds would be higher if their initial plans had gone the athletic department's way as they have tried a few times to raise their student fees, which remain impressively low, and were rejected by the student government. So instead they took additional seats away from the students as a trade-off and that obviously leads to increased donations and ticket revenue. Probably a win-win for both group, though I believe between the additional seats and the pandemic, their football ticket waiting list has officially dwindled to beyond zero and they were making outbound calls trying to sell the last of their remaining season football tickets.

Especially since UND ended up making some significant administrative cuts, as I recall. I thought this was already an existing postion and I wasn't too far off. There is already a VP for Studen Affairs and Diversity. It will be interesting on how this is handled as the things on the "Top 10" list are all going to invovle some signficant funds at a time when UND is already slashing budgets and that was pre-CoVid. Are these people willing to see (realistic) cuts in other parts of the University to help fund it? What programs are they willing to shut down to fund this list?
