REPORTER 5 Attrition comes to RIT Attrition. The final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship RIT. Whose 10 year strategic plan is to seek out and explore new areas of academic excel• lence... That is the hype, but what is attrition.' Some form of dietary malfunction? No, but it could cause a few upset stomachs among RIT staff and faculty. President Albert Simone went straight to business during the October 14 conference in Ingle Auditorium. The open forum lecture was held in order to familiarize faculty, staff and students with new budget changes as a result of the Strategic Plan. According to Webster's Dictionary, attrition is defined as the slow wearing down of resources. Simone insists that resources will not diminish, only grow stronger. "RIT is not in a crisis... in fact, it's just the reverse," the president said. It has taken close to two years to concoct the Strategic Plan. Simone's prescription for managed attrition will assure enough finances to carry out that plan. "We're acting for the long run," Simone said. RIT has an endowment of $250 million, proving the institution's solid backing. This contingency funding enables stability even when enrollment is down. In order to compete with other top ranked schools, better incentives must be offered to the professors as well as departments. The finance committee of the Board of Trustees has approved a 5.1 % salary increase over the span of five years in order to make faculty/staff earnings up to par with other institutions. This does not mean all staff will have a 5.1 % increase. Each college will be responsible to distribute the pay raises. Simone would also like to see a stop in egions not likely to be affected by tuition hikes. Under the dictates of the plan, tbe managed attrition plan: up to 20% of vacant faculty or staff positions R A4)unct faculty will be refilled. There will be a near absolute Temporary help funds freeze on hiring new staff. In addition, a pro• College for Integrated gram review board may be created to decide Manufacturing Systems (DIMS), a] what programs need more money as well as self-funding operation which can be phased out or merged. This means a number of things to students: • Endowed chairs reduced class offerings, less schedule flexibili• • Tenured posttioiis ty, and possibly a higher faculty/student ratio •The Research Corporation in currently small classes. NTID, a federally funded program For faculty, it means they may find them• • Student employment selves adapting to new positions and program structures. Promotions will still be possible(sometimes necessary) as well as sabbaticals and leaves of absence. Simone states no layoffs will occur for the next 2 to 3 years. A few gray areas such as visiting faculty, split appointments and positions funded by grants still exist. According to William Dempsey, vice president of finances and administration, 350 people are expected to leave the institute due to retirement or other status between 1996- 97. This projection is based on the turnover rates for 1993 of which custodial staff was the highest. Under the new guidelines only 50 of those leaving would be replaced. The emphasis of the Strategic Plan is "seamlessness"; a streamline university environ• ment. A lower level of bureaucracy will be required to run a tight ship. There are "too many managers."' One advantage of this is that students will have access to courses outside their major. "Our intent is not to denigrate programs," Simone said. The relatively poor turnout of students at the forum indicates a breakdown in com• munication to the general populace of RIT. The Strategic Plan and Action for Agenda VAX conferences are still available and will soon be updated. Copies of the Strategic plan are also available from Student Government and President Simone's office. -Alfred Penn Galling All Students NEWSWORTHY

Since Charlie had just retired his first partner, "Champ," and Shilo was about to be released from the RPD, Charlie asked for a shot with Shilo. At first, it was a rocky ride: "I couldn't ride him five blocks without him having a panic attack or child-like temper tantrum. He just wouldn't stand still anywhere."

Over the summer several changes were made to improve some of the services that are offered by Student Government. These changes are intended not only to improve the quality of the ser• vices offered by Student Government, but also to hopefully improve the numt)crs of students that uti• lize SG services. Services that are currently offered include: FREE van usage for SG recognized clubs and organi7.ations, a Ride Board to help students in need of a ride home over break, and FREE legal aid for RIT students. Student Government currently owns two 15 passenger vans. These vans can be signed out by any SG recognized club, or any of the 6 recognized major student organizations. Use of these vans is free (just have to pay for gas). Before this year, the Student Government vans were maintained and operated solely by the SG Secretary of Services. Due to class loads and other responsibilities, the Services Secretary was only able to check on the vans occasionally. This meant that the vans would often be abused (not filling the gas lank, leaving a mess, or damaging the van). This year, thanks to Gary Galon from Campus Safety, and Jeff Avrin the SG Secretary of Services, Campus Safety will check our vans everyday to make sure that they are filled with gas, clean, and not damaged. Campus Safety is providing this service to SG for FREE. Currehtly, Student Government maintains a bulletin board in the Student Union (located in the hallway outside of the RITreat) for students looking to get a ride home at the end of the quarter. This year, Jeff Avrin has been working on mounting a new ride ride board inside of the RITreat.
