Teachers College ready for cuts
By Diana Johnson
Senior Reporter
Although the final departmental budget cuts
proposed by Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs
Robert Furgason have not been passed, UNL's
Teachers College is prepared for their effects.
Dean James O'llanlon said he ant icipates the
$150,000 cut.

The administration and faculty already have
dealt with Furgason's $150,000 proposed cut for
the Teachers College, said Donna Aksamit, act
ing assistant dean of the college.
"Basically, the cuts have happened," Aksamit
said.
Aksamit noted cuts in the frequency of course
offerings and delays in buying computer equip
ment. "But no one has been or will be eliminated"
from the faculty, Aksamit said.
The college knew the cuts were coming,
Aksamit said, so vacant faculty positions simply
were left unfilled. This should let the college
keep Its remaining faculty members, she said.
But to meet the proposed $150,000 cut, Furga
son has suggested that $90,000 be taken from
faculty positions by reducing three teaching
positions and decreasing funding in lower posi
tions. The remaining $60,000 would be eliminated
by combining programs in adult education and
vocational education into a single administra
tive unit.
Aksamit said she thinks the cuts the college
already has implemented have not lessened the
quality of the college. The college has main
tained its quality by planning and preparing for
cuts, she said.
"From the very beginning, Dean O'Hanlon has
talked with us about it," Aksamit said about the
budget.
"We were as prepared as any college could be
for this."
Dealing with budget cuts is an ongoing pro
cess for the Teachers College. It involves "recon
figuring in terms of organization" and taking
cost-effective measures, Aksamit said.
"If there are any further cuts, we will continue
to reassess and reevaluate" the administration
and programs of the college, Aksamit said.
An open meeting for Teachers College stu
dents will be Monday at 2:30 p.m. in Henzlik 53. "
