Faculty Senate committee:
UNL budget growth slow
By Val Swinton
Some members of the ' UNL faculty
think UNO and the Medical Center are get
ting a bigger piece of the NU budgetary pie
than the Lincoln campus.
A UNL Faculty Senate budget com
mittee report indicates that, while NU has
undergone "phenomenal growth in
past decade, UNO and medical center
budgets have increased at a much taster
rate than UNLs budget.
Professor Craig. R. MacPhee, chairman
of the budget committee, said UNL should
not have to face the same type of restric
tions in budget that the other campuses do.
"If there are going to be cutbacks inthe
general fund increases from the state
because UNO and the medical center have
grown so much more than us, it's their
expanision that ought to be trimmed,'
MacPhee said.
The UNL budget, from 1970-71 tc
1979-80, has increased 125 percent,
according to the committee's report, while
the medical center's budget increased 314
percent and UNO's budget increased 224
percent.
The Central Administrations budget
increased 835 percent in this decade.
WHILE UNO and the medical center
have received larger increases, percentage
wise, than UNL, the Lincoln campus still
commands the largest share of the budget.
UNL was appropriated $65 million for
the 1979-80 school year, while the Medical
Center received $31 .7 million and UNO got
$17 million from state general fund tax
revenues.
Randy Haack, assistant budget director
for the central administration, pointed out
that many functions once assigned to UNL
have been shifted to other campuses,
- Haack also said that UNO needed large
amounts of money when it fust became
'part of the NU system because of financial
problems, which also accounted for the
rapid increase in its share of the budget.
In fact, Haack said, during the past
three years, budget requests and appro- I
priations to the three campuses have been
nearly identical.
Last year, he said, the UNO campus
received only 2 percent more of an increase
than the medical center and UNL.
"I DOUBT THAT there's any kind of
conspiracy to make one campus a Cadillac
and another a Volkswagen, he said,
MacPhee did not dispute Haack's
figures, but said during the last four years,
student credit hour production has risen 6
percent at- UNL, and fallen 4 percent at
UNO.
In view of those figures, MacPhee said
UNL should not be forced to make cut
backs because of budget reduction.
"Of course, that means if other
campuses have to cut back in order that
we don't have to, then they should," he
said.
MacPhee said the faculty also is not
happy with the rapid growth of the central
administration, '
"There's a general feeling that the
administration is growing like crazy, he
said, "The central administration has been
a vehicle for a lower UNL share1 of the bud
get and we also see the potential for dup
lication of services,"
The central administration has been the
target of three resolutions in recent weeks
by the UNL faculty, Resolutions by the
Teachers College and College of Arts and
Science faculties call for the dissolution of
the central administration structure while a
resolution in the UNL Faculty Senate
asked that the offices of vice-president for
academic affairs and vice-president for
administration be "critically examined,"
That resolution will be discussed by the
Faculty Senate during a meeting Tuesday,
While the administration has recom
mended a 15 percent increase in state
appropriations in the coming year, Gov,
Charles Thone has asked for a 7 percent
increase,
