According to the article, when the state was behind on FY10 payments, they didn’t FROM THE EASEL begin paying FY11 until FY10 was paid off. The state is implementing a different strategy that is making us nervous. The state has decided to pay FY12 on time, in the amount of about $7 million, and we have not received FY11 payments for nearly three months. On the surface, it seems like a good thing that the state is taking the initiative to make timely payments for FY12. How- ever, we hope that the state does not think that it can sweep $21 million under the rug. “We are not digging a hole further but it is still an awful lot of money from last year’s budget that they still owe us,” Trea- surer Paul McCann said in the article. The fact that the state is behind on such a large amount deters Eastern from buying supplies, doing construction and hiring faculty and staff members as others leave the university. “Unfortunately, I think it makes it dif- ficult for a lot of the faculty who are not getting all of the supplies they might need,” McCann said in the article. “We play a balancing game trying to keep enough money going into that process, but we do not always succeed.” Eastern has been staying afloat by mak- E than Schroeder | The Daily Eastern News ing these expense cuts and being conserva- tive with funds, but doing so is a band-aid to the problem, not a solution.
