We provide an alternative solution to WVU's Transformation Plan.
Using the principles of subsidiarity and solidarity, our plan proposes only 3 workforce reductions and still saves WVU $45 Million.
​
The current Transformation Plan involves 32 program cuts and estimated involuntary workforce reductions of 219-429
SUBSIDIARITY & SOLIDARITY
Subsidiarity involves organizing the various functions of society in a way that nurtures the vitality of the community
Solidarity represents the moral quality that empowers us to collectively embrace the abundance of resources
How the Plan Works:
-
Involuntary workforce reduction: $1.9 million
-
Estimated replacement cost: $1.2 million
-
Estimated saving: $0.7 million​
-
Operating expense reduction of the General Institutional Service Function/Classification: $21.0 million​
-
Estimated savings from voluntary/planned retirements: $9.7 million
-
2.4% across-the-board salary reduction for all other WVU employees: $13.6 million
​
Total: $45.0 million
