Bellow is one of the messages which appeared recently-- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 15 Jan 1995 12:51:42 -0800 (PST) From: Jonathan Gallant To: facsen@u.washington.edu Subject: Warren Guntheroth's proposals. Professor Guntheroth's note of Jan ll is very astute. It is within the capability of the Faculty Senate to recommend any or all of his proposals. In regard to the possibility of economizing on administration, Professor Thomas Lockwood (English) has examined the 1992 "University Profile" factbook and discovered some interesting recent history. The number of full-time administrative personnel (President, Vice-Presidents, Provost, Vice-Provosts, Deans, and Directors) stayed between 53 and 61 between 1982 and 1989, then rose abruptly to 105 in 1990, and was 104 in 1991. One wonders what it is now, and what savings could be realized from reducing it toward the 1982 level. Of course, the administration will explain that a great increase in administrative personnel was required because of the increasing scale and magnificence of the UW--and that the increase must be retained in order to cope with the difficulties of cutting back on everything else now. The Senate can fulfill its role in "shared governance" by pondering such considerations, and making its views known. .
