I’m working on a management question and need guidance to help me learn.
Scenario: Due to massive cutbacks in both federal and state support and dramatically decreasing alumni gifts, your college or university must make some significant changes that will influence revenue and cash flow. The school had anticipated a budget increase this year in order to hire more faculty, reduce class sizes, and improve academic programs. Instead, funding was cut
The university administration is mandating the following initiatives:
- All freshmen and sophomores must live on campus in dorms (to increase occupancy).
- There will be Saturday classes (to increase utilization of classroom space).
- All faculty members will have their teaching loads increased by one class per semester (to reduce the need for additional faculty).
- All classes must have a minimum of fifteen enrollments, or they will be canceled. All introductory courses will be taught as large lecture sections (to reduce the need for faculty and increase the profit margin per class).
- Students must pay a $250 per semester parking fee to have a car on campus and a $100 per semester security fee (to pay for parking facilities and campus police).
- All majors with less than 100 students will either be consolidated or eliminated (to focus resources on larger majors)
