MATERIALS ALLOCATION PLAN

The proposed plan involves the following factors, weighted
& to match, as far as possible, the funding basis for UNC
| libraries:

Factor Weight

Undergraduate credits taught
Master's credits taught

No. of undergraduate courses

No. of master's courses

No. of undergraduate majors

No. of master's majors

Departmental faculty FTE

Average departmental cost of books,
or journals

oO

The plan multiplies the raw data % for each factor by the
weight, for a factor point total, then adds up all the point
totals by department. These totals are then converted to
percentage totals. Those figures are then applied to the
total available serials or monograph budget allocated to
the department and the resulting dollar amounts become
the unadjusted departmental serials or monograph budgets
for the year. Any needed modifications are made by the
Library, reported to the Library Committee, and the
figures readjusted. Factor 8 is the only difference
between the serials and monographs. plan.

No department shall receive less than $2,000 for their monograph
or serial allocations, provided that amount is clearly justi-
fied.

No department shall receive more than 12-1/2% of the annual
‘ monograph or serial allocations.

Library Services Faculty

Faculty Senate

Resolution on Work-Study Program
the elimination of the work-Study Program for 1980/81 at East
Carolina University has caused students to worry about their
ability to stay in school because of the loss of income; and
statements on behalf of the University administration regarding

the reasons for the elimination of the Work-Study Program were
misleading; and

» this is the third time since the 1974/75 school year that the

Work-Study budget has been miscalculated; and

, the elimination of the Work-Study Program has affected all wits,

including those which were not overspent in their allocation of
the Work-Study budget; and

the Library, as a central institution in the University and
employer of 67 work-study students, has been seriously affected
in its ability to provide public and technical services to the
University; therefore be it

RESOLVED, that the Faculty Senate of East Carolina University express its

concern for the students' welfare; and

RESOLVED, that future budget deficits- be taken’from University admin-

istrative funds instead of penalizing departments that have
not overspent their budgets; and

RESOLVED, that the Chancellor report to the Faculty Senate on measures

taken to avoid any future occurrence of this problen.

 
This is a copy of the General College resolution, which fatled.

RESOLUTION, INTRODUCED BY SENATOR GOWEN

WHEREAS the advising of students at this University is a matter of
fundamental concern to the faculty,

AND WHEREAS the faculty was not consulted in regard to the changes in
the system of General College advising now in the process of being implemented.

AND WHEREAS said changes are likely to add appreciably to the faculty's
advisory duties and may, upon closer examination, prove counter-productive

to the interests of both faculty and students alike,

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Senate, acting in response to both

principle and practicality, calls upon the appropriate officials not to
proceed with modifications of the current system of General College advising
until such time as the faculty has had the opportunity to evaluate, and give

its approval, to the proposed changes.
