• Volume XCVlll Issue No. 47 The Only Independent News Source for CSU, Fresno Tuesday November 5,1991 Welty to battle '91-'92 budget By Manny Fernandez DC Staff writer CSUF President John Welty, in a report containing his 1991-92 goals, plans to find more ways to link the valley community with the University and to battle budget problems. "I think ifs clear that the budget for next year is not going to be a good picture again," Welty said. That means we will be looking at ways to enhance revenue, ways to reduce or merge, or perhaps in some cases, elimi¬ nate some of the programs and activities that we're doing." Welty plans to appoint a 25-member budget task force in the coming weeks. The committee, comprised of members of the Academic Senate Executive Committee, the ASI, and other faculty, will work with the president in preparing a plan that will be "a little more logical" than the one used this year. "We want to make sure that the basic quality of the University is not negatively impacted," he said. The recently released report was devel¬ oped after discussions the president had with deans, faculty, and the Senate Execu¬ tive Committee. "It appeared that what we needed to do was develop a planning effort for the fu¬ ture," Welty said. "We needed to look at what we were doing well, what we needed to do differently, and then look at how we can better serve the region in which we're located." CSUF 2000, a committee made up of deans, the Senate Execu H ve Committee, and faculty, has been appointed to set the plans in action and to monitor their development in the coming years. Canesha *Vishu" Visweswaran, chair of the Academic Senate, said the president's plan encompasses all aspects of the Univer¬ sity. "1 think he has a very comprehensive view of what needs to be done," Viswes¬ waran said. In the report, Welty emphasizes the need for CSUF to grow with the community. "Obviously, our primary responsibility is to teach the students that are here," he See WELTY, page 3 1 Life-long pals ■* i M ^^Ji ^^^■jfiV w^i P^^^i L^l ^^■p*^ ' ^i^ B^' ' La**'' -^iHfl ^^K ■■1 . / V« i ■ - W'r'r ^^i ... ^^r ^Uk-^. ^H ^W ^HH^^^^^^U^ 97?/ > H i,.

"First, it was a life-long dream of mine to see North America. Second, I like to show people what you can do when you have cancer."
