Already, drastic cuts have gone to the bone.  Further cuts totaling $565 million, if they occur, will prevent Georgia Southern University and the rest of the system from accomplishing their core mission of educating students and providing the well-trained professionals needed for Georgia’s future.  In addition, cuts of this magnitude will render GSU and the USG system unable to attract and retain qualified faculty and serve the communities where we are located. The Faculty Senate of Georgia Southern University will support the efforts of our legislature to write an equitable budget for FY 2011.  However, legislators should recall they were elected to serve the present and future people of Georgia.  Cuts of this magnitude will not only fail to serve the present students, but those of the future as well.”  Rationale:    The Senate has been made aware of the potential impacts of the proposed budget cuts at GSU. Revenues continued to decline in February. This motion asks us to speak with one voice in support of maintaining a reasonable budget level that will allow Georgia Southern to continue our core mission – providing an educated populace.  Response:    Motion Request: Resolution on the Budget – Patricia Humphrey (COST): “The SEC asks the Senate to approve the following resolution to be sent to the chancellor, BOR, and State Legislature: “The Faculty Senate of Georgia Southern University fully supports its own administration and the chancellor in their efforts to prevent the legislature of Georgia from eviscerating the university system.
