Blackbourn joined a series of professors affiliated with area-study centers—whose academic goals are focused on a particular region—who approached the microphone to address Smith and the faculty members who were present.
Like Smith’s rhetoric, the actual identity of these so-called “core priorities” have been vague, and budgetary decisions are being fleshed out in direct coordination between the administration and individuals units.
Centers had been asked to make sacrifices, as they are quick to point out. But they do not represent the only sectors of FAS where personal priorities have been pushed aside as the “core mission” takes priority.
Even department administrators, who are more dependent on unrestricted “subvention” funds from the dean, say that their own wishes do not necessarily align with those expressed by the FAS finance office.
One department administrator in the humanities explained that her own department has been asked to redirect funds for student travel grants to priorities that the FAS financial office has said are more aligned with FAS priorities.
