Hulbert, university president, said. \u201cThe decimation of higher education in this state is unlike anything I have seen in my 40-plus years of professional experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The university\u2019s budget reduction plan includes the layoff of 28 employees (two faculty and 26 staff). Also included is the elimination of 65 currently vacant positions (20 faculty and 45 staff), many of which were only recently vacated, bringing the total faculty and staff reductions to 122 (33 faculty and 89 staff) since 2008-09. In all, this totals a 16 percent reduction in employees (12 percent for faculty and 18 percent for staff) while enrollment has only decreased 5 percent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI deeply regret being forced to lay off valuable employees who provide needed services for our students,\u201d Hulbert said. \u201cThere are no easy answers. Nicholls has not published the effect of the budget cuts until now because we needed to go through the appropriate process of notifying those being laid off. This was an agonizing process, leaving good people jobless and introducing increased burdens to those left behind \u2013 the people who haven\u2019t received a pay raise, unless they were promoted, since 2007.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additional cuts were made in the following areas: operating and professional services, travel, supplies and library reference materials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important to note that our students, as well as all students in the state, are now paying more and getting less because of the series of state budget cuts and the 10 percent per-year tuition increases,\u201d Hulbert said.<\/p>\n<p>The ratio of state support to tuition\/fees has gone from 61 to 39 percent to the other way around, 40 to 60 percent. State funding has shrunk from almost $36 million in 2008-09 to less than $19 million \u2013 a decrease of more than $17 million, or 48 percent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMake no mistake, we\u2019re talking about the future of higher education in the Bayou Region,\u201d Hulbert added. \u201cIt is important to remember that around 60 percent of our incoming freshmen are still first-generation college students, many of whom have Nicholls as their only choice for a four-year degree because they are unable to travel two to three hours to a regional university and are unable to afford the cost of room and board on another campus. Put simply, the lack of state support for higher education in Louisiana is a tragedy \u2013 and an incredible mistake by Louisiana state government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite budget challenges, Hulbert said the university remains committed to protecting, as much as possible, the academic core of the university and fulfilling its mission to provide higher education opportunities to the people of Nicholls\u2019 service region.<\/p>\n<p>Hulbert recently appeared on KNSU 91.5 FM to discuss the reasons, processes and effects of the budget reductions.
