Inflation strikes At the University's Pocketbook

Clive Cocking

whole lot of young faculty members today wish someone had told them earlierabout the Catch-22 of Aacademe. No one fresh out of graduate school in the fractious'60s and early '70s had any doubts that, like it or not, the Damoclean law of academic survival was publish or perish. Only lately have they discovered the catch:publish and you survive professionally, but economically you may still perish. Well, not quite literally. But then many UBC faculty, disenchanted with the cur- rent rewards of scholarship, argue that their problems are also far beyond solu- tion by simply cutting out the lunch-time sherry. The fact is that an economic crisis is, once again, imperilling the academic life of UBC. Severe restraint, if not harsh cutbacks, are now the order of the day.

Ourenrolment in the decade 1969-70 to 1979-80 for the daytime wintersession increased by 11.5 per cent from20,767 to 23,616 students. I regard this as’ a notable achievement in the light of the stories which appear in the news media from time to time pointing to the“crisis” of declining university enrolments. Our ex- perience unqudstionably accents the fallacy of premature assumptions of dramatic enrolment declines. However, our significant increase is a mixed blessing. The retrenchment in budgetary support during this decade has meant that the University has had to serve more students with fewer dollars per student. There have been increases in our continuing education and outreach programs that canonly. bedescribed as phenomenal. The director of the Centre for Continuing Education 1969-70 in reported 21,238 registrationsfor centre pro- grams. The comparable figure for 1979-80 was 52,526 registrations, an increase of more than 100 per cent in a decade.
