With state budget cuts looming, the College of Arts & Sciences at Oklahoma State developed its own approach for preparedness.
The state of Oklahoma is facing a $900 million deficit for fiscal year 2017, a 12.9 percent reduc-tion from the 2016 state budget, according to the fiscal year 2017 executive budget summary from Governor Mary Fallin.
In the fall of 2015, Bret Danilo-wicz requested each Arts & Sci-ences department submit a budget proposal for the fiscal year 2017. The dean of Arts & Sciences asked each department to find areas where cuts could be made, while ensuring a high-quality education.
“We don’t know exactly what the state budgets cuts will be, so we set up to have departments do that,” Danilowicz said. “We asked department heads to work in consultation with faculty and the department to come up with those kind of scenarios.”
Each department’s budget proposal was obtained for this story. The university, however, has redacted much of the data, and the proposals are only prelimi-nary possibilities. Nevertheless, valuable information can still be gleaned from the documents.
Areas where cuts can be made in each department for bud-get reductions of two, five and eight percent are included in the proposals. As the percentage of cuts increases, the damage to the departments continues to grow.
In many cases, departments may be forced to reduce funding for graduate students as well as several faculty positions.
The English department at OSU could cut back on the number of temporary faculty lines, such as adjunct instructors. Starting with the two percent reduction plan, the department could save at least
$40,000 by cutting one temporary faculty position, according to the department’s proposal.
As the cuts increase to five and eight percent, more faculty lines are cut. A five or eight percent cut could result in the loss of three or five temporary faculty positions respectively, which would save the department between $120 - $200 thousand, according to the depart-
ment’s proposals.Richard Frohock said he was
directly involved in the creation of the English department budget proposals. However, the head of the English department said he worked with an advisory commit-tee and department faculty before deciding on the best options.
“We tried to look for areas where we had inefficiencies,”
Frohock said. “One thing you can do is count up the number of empty seats you have and reduce the number of sections offered.
“That allows us to do a little less staffing.”
Frohock said reducing the amount sections would result in larger classes, but the number of seats available to students would

would remain unchanged. To fill the gap left by temporary faculty, the department could assign more graduate teaching as-sistants, who are normally in the department’s writing center, to the classroom.
“If for instance, we cut back on adjuncts, then we can take some TA’s out of the writing center and put them in the classroom,” Frohock said. “So, there is a bit of flexibility there in how many we assign to the writing center.”
Laura Belmonte said she, too, met with her advisory commit-tee, made up of faculty within the history department, to create the proposals. The head of the history department said, however, the proposals were then presented to history department faculty for a vote.
For each possible percentage of
reductions, the department would steadily increase a cut in funding for the graduate program.
For the two-percent reduction, the department proposed cutting two teaching assistant posi-tions, which would save at least $21,000. The five-percent reduc-tion could cause four teaching assistant positions to be cut, while the eight-percent plan results in the loss of eight total teaching assistant spots, according to the department’s proposals.
The five- and eight-percent teaching assistant cuts would save a total of at least $47,000 or $91,000, respectively, according to the proposals.
Belmonte said such cuts would not only affect the graduate stu-dents, but also the undergraduates as well.
“It’s going to mean that the teaching assistants and the instruc-tors who supervise them will have
more papers and exams to grade,” Belmonte said. “So students will have to wait longer for feedback.”
Belmonte said the proposed cuts wouldn’t affect the teaching assistants at OSU. However, it could make OSU a less attractive destination for potential graduate students.
“For incoming recruits, we didn’t have as many TA lines to offer as an incentive to come to OSU,” Belmonte said.
William Jaco said the math-ematics department would begin its cuts by reducing graduate student funds as well. The head of the mathematics department said cutting teaching assistant positions will heavily affect the graduate program as well as create much larger class sections.
“It’s hard,” Jaco said. “It’s not what you want to do because we’ve found … once you get over 35 or 36 students, you cannot do a
lot of hands on, active engagement in the classroom.”
In the two-percent proposal, the department suggests cut-ting about six graduate teaching assistants, which would save at least $47,000. However, such cuts would have a “major impact on non-STEM and STEM students, upper-division instruction and [the] graduate program,” accord-ing to the proposal.
The five- and eight-percent plans could result in a loss of 14 teaching assistant positions, which would reduce spending by at least $107,000. Although, the eight-percent plan also includes a provision to “assign each new graduate student to teach one recitation section,” according to the proposal.
Such a provision is projected to save the department a total of $33,500.
Jaco said the proposed cuts
would create much higher workloads for graduate students because they would be forced to teach much larger sections.
“It’s a big load because you’re trying to take nine to 12 hours of graduate courses while you’re doing this,” Jaco said. “You can make it better for them by putting 30 to 35 students in a section, but if you get up to 45 or 50 students, they’ve got that much more home-work to grade.”
Jaco said uncertainty surrounds the upcoming budget for 2017 because the amount of cuts hasn’t been finalized. However, he said it is vital the state invests in educa-tion.
“Good education costs money,” Jaco said. “It is expensive, but it’s an investment that the state should be putting their money into.”

The College of Arts & Sciences asked each of its departments to complete an “Arts & Sciences Budget Re-duction Template” for fiscal year 2017. Within the documents, each de-partment made propos-als for a two-percent, five-percent and eight-percent cut.
The documents were originally requested from the communica-tions department at Oklahoma State on Feb. 10. The request was made in person via an official open re-cord request form. The request was filed with a deadline to receive the
documents within eight to 10 days.
It took 30 days after the initial request was submitted for the docu-ments to be released.
Feb. 17, Carrie Hulsey-Greene said in a phone call the uni-versity and its legal department could not confirm the existence of such documents. The associate director of communications ser-vices sent, via email, an explanation as well as a statutory exemption for the documents from the Open Records Act on Feb. 25.
The OSU legal de-partment provided the explanation and statuto-ry exemption. The legal department provided 51 O.S. section 24A.9 of the Oklahoma Open Re-cords Act as a statutory exemption.
Section 24A.9 of the Oklahoma Open Re-cords Act refers directly to “confidential per-sonal notes and person-
ally created materials of a public official making recommendation.”
However, Section 24A.9 reads: “a public official may keep con-fidential his or her per-sonal notes and person-ally created materials other than departmental budget requests of a public body.”
“Departmental bud-get requests of a public body” are not exempt from the Oklahoma Open Records Act, according to Section 24A.9.
Along with the statutory exemption, the legal department
provided an explanation
for the unavailability of the documents.
“To the best of our knowledge, the docu-ments being requested from the departments do not exist yet because no firm budget numbers have been established by the state,” the OSU legal department said, via email. “Thus, OSU and the departments do not know what the bud-get numbers will be in order to prepare depart-mental budgets.”
March 3, a response was sent to Hulsey-Green, including one
such document that had already been obtained, the proposals for the Media & Strategic Communications de-partment. The response also explained the Arts & Sciences Budget Re-duction proposals were not “personal notes or personally created materials.”
Also in the response was a deadline to receive the documents via electronic format by March, 8.

in an email, “The tem-plate you provided was prepared by the College of Arts and Sciences and was not distributed throughout the University.
“The information pro-vided in any of these pre-liminary working docu-ments will be misleading as the final budgetary numbers for FY17 have not been provided by the
State of Oklahoma.”The legal department’s
explanation went on to say, “None of the informa-tion requested was provid-ed to the Vice President for Administration and Finance by the College of Arts and Sciences.”
March 8, after more attempts at receiving the documents and speaking with OSU’s legal de-partment, the university agreed to release the docu-ments.
Scott Fern said in an email he was not aware of the open records request until March 8. The Deputy General Counsel for OSU said when the requests were first made, adminis-tration informed them no
such documents existed.“Apparently, the docu-
ments you reference were internal to the college only,” Fern said. “That is why the central adminis-tration provided us with that initial response.”
The documents were made available March 11, in print format. However, a significant amount of information was redacted from the documents. Such as, faculty members’ names and salaries.
Brandee Hancock pro-vided a statutory exemp-tion for the redactions. The Staff Attorney for the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges’ Board of Regents provid-ed Section 24A.7 of the
Oklahoma Open Records Act as means for redac-tion of information.
Section 24A.7 exempts “Confidential Person-nel Records of a Public Body.”
However, Robert Nelon said he doesn’t think that section would allow such redactions to be made. The First Amendment lawyer said the section provided doesn’t apply to the information redacted.
“It’s hard to see how they can justify redacting a portion of [the infor-mation],” Nelon said. “Unless it is confidential personal information such as a social security number or date of birth that would otherwise be
protected under a differ-ent section of the Open Records Act.”
This was a simple request, made in person, via email and by an Open Records request form. By no means should this process have lasted a full month.
The students at OSU have a right to know what is happening on their cam-pus. That’s why we should have access to the infor-mation in these records. OSU both denied the existence and availability of the documents, despite the opposing evidence.
