Why did $250,000/year matter?
It was 8% of our $3.1M state budget
It was 44% of the entire EE/CSE Initiative!
$2.2M of our $3.1M was faculty salaries
- We mitigated $65,000 of the cuts by sacrificing the fractional Holden and Kehl positions … but $185,000/year was real -- plus, we lost the ability to re-fill these 0.67 + 0.5 positions
- $185,000/$900,000 = 21% of our quality of life (technical staff, administrative staff, TAs, operations)
