| Abstract | Every college and university experiences some form of financial hardship at one time or another. The financial problems plaguing local and state governments in recent years have been sufficient by themselves to create serious problems for institutions across the country. At the very least, an institution's financial difficulties can lead to the reallocation of resources; at the worst, they can threaten the institution's existence. Faculty travel budgets and money for new faculty appointments are often early casualties. In the more serious cases, faculty and staff appointments are terminated, and academic programs and departments are reduced or eliminated. Some institutions ultimately close their doors. This report brings together the AAUP's (American Association of University Professors') recommended standards and procedures and its experience in working for their acceptance in the community of higher education. Part I summarizes AAUP policies concerning the role of the faculty in budgeting in general. These policies have a practical significance that should not be overlooked: the maintenance of sound academic practices in good times contributes to sound decision making in bad times. Part II summarizes policies that the AAUP believes should come into play when an institution must deal with a financial crisis. Part III draws on the published reports of AAUP investigating committees and describes how the decision-making apparatus at some institutions showed signs of failure in times of financial difficulty. Part IV proposes recommendations to help improve an institution's ability to deal effectively and fairly with serious financial problems, and suggests specific steps to increase income and reduce expenses.
