3. UBC BUDGET INITIATIVES AND REDUCTIONS
WELCOME AND THANK YOU
THESE FEW INITIATIVES THAT ARE BEING PRESENTED ARE NOT THE FULL EXTENT OF THE STUDENT NEED; THEY ARE THE MOST NECESSARY TO SUSTAIN STUDENTS. EACH OF THESE STUDENT AFFAIRS INITIATIVES PROVIDES FOUNDATIONAL SERVICES AND SUPPORTS THAT ASSURE STUDENT SUCCESS. STUDENTS CAN NOT, WILL NOT, BE SUCCESSFUL IN THE CLASSROOM, WILL NOT BE RECRUITED, MATRICULATE OR GRADUATE WITHOUT A BALANCE OF SUPPORT SERVICES – INCLUDING ACADEMIC, STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES.
MINE IS NOT A PRESENTATION OR DEBATE OF STUDENT SERVICES VERSES ACADEMICS SERVICES. ACADEMICS, STUDENT SERVICES AND ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS ARE ALL NECESSARY AND IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF CREATING AN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION - CLASSROOM AND OUT-OF-CLASS PROGRAMS ARE NECESSARY IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THE BASIC INSTITUTIONAL MISSION – EDUCATING STUDENTS. WHAT CO-CURRICULAR PROGRAMS PROVIDE IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTEGRATE CLASSROOM LEARNING AND THEN APPLY IT TO PRACTICAL/LIFE SITUATIONS. THEY ALSO SUPPORT THE BASIC NEEDS OF THE STUDENT SO THAT PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY THEY CAN ATTEND CLASS AND LEARN. IT IS THE PROMOTION OF STUDENT DEVELOPMENT ALONG A CONTINUUM.
METAPHORICALLY SPEAKING, STUDENT SERVICES ARE THE FOUNDATION UPON WHICH THE EDUCATIONAL FRAME-WORK IS BUILT – YOU CAN NOT BUILD A SOUND COGNITIVE HOUSE WITHOUT A STRONG AFFECTIVE FOUNDATION.
STUDENT SERVICES DO NOT EXIST ON THEIR OWN OR FOR THEIR OWN SAKE. HISTORICALLY, THIS OUT-OF- CLASS INSTRUCTION COMES FROM HARVARD IN 1636, WHERE FACULTY WERE EXPECTED CONTROL THE STUDENTS IN THE RESIDENCE AND DINING HALLS.
PLEASE IMAGINE AN INSTITUTION YOU WANT HSU TO EMULATE AND YOU WILL NOTE, THAT AT THAT INSTITUTION THERE IS A FULL COMPLEMENT OF STUDENT SUPPORTING SERVICES – REGARDLESS OF THEIR SIZE OR SELECTIVITY.
THE BOTTOM-LINE IS THAT ALL OF US ACADEMICS, STUDENT SERVICES AND ADMINISTRATION ARE NECESSARY COMPONENTS IN PROVIDING A HOLISTIC EDUCATION.
THE PROBLEM WITH HSU IS WE ARE OUT OF BALANCE IN DELIVERING OUR SERVICES – WE HAVE TOO FEW STUDENTS, TOO FEW PAYING CUSTOMERS, TOO FEW STUDENTS THAT HSU WAS THEIR FIRST CHOICE AND TO FEW REVENUES FOR OUR EXPENDITURES.
ALL OF THE BUDGET INITIATIVES THAT I AM PRESENTING HAVE A DIRECT EFFECT ON STUDENT RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION. WITH THESE PROGRAMS WE WILL POSITIVELY IMPACT STUDENT NUMBERS AND WITHOUT THESE PROGREAMS, WE WILL HAVE CONTINUED DECLINING STUDENT ENROLLMENTS.
EVERY ONE OF THE BUDGET INITIATIVES CONSIDERED BY THIS COMMITTEE SHOULD BE REVIEWED IN ITS ABILITY TO RECRUIT AND/OR RETAIN STUDENTS. WE HAVE TOO MANY PROGRAMS AND EXPENDITURES THAT ARE UNDERSUBSCRIBED; THEY ARE NOT GENERATING FTE OR EVEN IMPACTING FTE.
Summary - WITHOUT STUDENT SERVICES AND THE SUPPORTS THEY SUPPLY, WE WILL NOT HAVE STUDENTS, WE WILL NOT HAVE STUDENT SUCCESS AND WE WILL NOT FULFILL OUR EDUCTIONAL MISSION.
