Cost Containment Strategies

Implemented to Accomodate Appropriation Shortfalls

 The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff utilized a variety of cost cutting measures with much attention given to doing so without sacrificing quality as much as possible:

1.  February 12, 2009 – Instituted a hiring freeze (see Attachment I)
2.  October 29, 2009 – Froze all state funded travel (see Attachement II)
3.  January 20, 2010 – Froze all E & G expenditures (see Attachement III)
4.  January 22, 2010 – Froze all spending, vacant positions, supplies, travel (see Attachment IV)
5.  January 22, 2010 – Reduced number of adjunct faculty to be used (see Attachment IV)
6.  Did not increase faculty and non-classified staff salaries.
7.  Assigned additional duties to several administrators.
8.  Implemented energy saving strategies such as installation of light controls and
     multi-building cooling system.
 
These strategies have enabled us to maintain operations; however, further reduction could seriously impact UAPB’s ability to accomplish mission goals.
