The Faculty's deficit is now gone. Other administrators attribute the current financial health of FAS to Knowles's firm hand.
Now kept in the bottom drawer of his desk, "Jeremy's Yellow Bars," a bar graph showing the shrinking deficit, was a well-known visual aid to Knowles' struggle to curb the debt.
Knowles says the key to reducing the deficit rapidly was "saying no" to new Faculty appointments and other expensive projects.
According to Fox, Knowles's financial management is his greatest achievement as dean.
Now that FAS has greater budget flexibility, Knowles says, he can focus on new projects, such as the planned international studies complex.
