Impact of Reduction on Revenue

• Decrease in enrollment
• Decline in scholarship productivity
• Drop in national visibility

26
Impact on Strategic Directions

• Inflexibility in filling positions
• Difficulty in responding to ABET accreditation
  needs
• Inability to respond to industry recommendations
  (Micron for example)
• Less impact on national planning agendas

27
Revenue Attribution Reinvestment

• In FY 2006 use as a bridge to hire adjuncts for
  departments that lost salary savings
• Possibly fill one position
