Proposed Charge on Rutgers/IPEDS
Campus
Comparisons Report, May 2013 - Submitted by Michael Van
Stine
Rationale:
"The problem is it was a huge issue and it just died as far as I can
tell. It is a 2013 report but if this was not addressed it is a
continuing and compounding issue of substantial university and student
impact. I do not believe there was any Senate action on follow-up on
the report. . . and the appearance is that Newark and Camden students
appear to be subsidizing NB students to the tune of 50% in all expense
categories, with what appears to me to be a very questionable
rationale. I wanted to discuss it just to know what was indeed done by
the budget committee, if anything, and then gauge ExCom committee
interest in the broader concerns. It seems to me to be as significant
an issue begging proper research as any other of which we investigate
and comment. What I wanted to propose after discussion is if indeed
there was no concrete action taken by the Senate to look into the
report metrics, that we consider a charge to just that to invoke some
actual accountability."
