this period Georgian encountered its largest enrolment increase and introduced major program of stretch Nylon Owen Sound Campus The next year when the col lege should have received money for the increases the government changed its me thod of funding again As result for one year the college did not get money for all its students and programs During the same period the government changed its rc quireinents for financing adult training programs inex perience of the government and college with the new system resulted in further losses Bill Caldwell of Barrie vice chairman of the board of gover nors of Georgian said new board of governors took over supervision of the college at the same time it faced financial woes The board introduced policy of restraint which included much leaner administration an increased number of stu dents per courSe and dropping 25 per cent of the continuing education programs The college used to offer wider variety of continuing education programs he said and admission fees were lower The new board increased ad mission fees for the extension courses and now only ruits pro grams which pay for them selves furing 197576 in an effort to reduce the deificit hiring was curtailed and vacancies created were not filled The allied health division was re vamped and six supervisors eliminated Another 10 employees in support staff and field superviSOrs were eli minated There were cutbacks in office supplies and cleaning and security services saving an estimated $50000 NO NEW PROGRAMS No new postsecondary pro grams were introdiiced and three adult training programs were added During 197475 the college faced possible deficit of $800000 but the board of gover itors trimmed the fat down said Mr Caldwell Weve put our house in financial order wevehad to effect nearly $1 million in economics But he added dont think it has hurt this college one bit We are doing exactly what we ought to bcdoing The 197576 operating budget of the college is set at $10155000 Ten per ccilt or $925000 of the revenue Will come front tui tion fees and miscellaneous sources Ninety per cent or 30230000 will be contributed by the pro vincial 73 per ccnti and federal governments Most of the ntoney 745 per cent or $756547 will be spent on academic items iii cluding salaries for 210 fullv time teachers Teacher salaries have risen 18 per cent in recent years and now take up 406 per cent of the budget The average teacher salary at the college is $17250 according to ltalph Howard dean of administration DIFFHlll Mr Howard said it is difficult to find factor that would iii dicatc how hard teacher works pupilteacher ratio such as used in elementary and secon dary schools cannot be applied to the college he said To determine the pupil tcachcr ratio of school board the total number of teachers administrators and support staff are divided into the number of fulltime students Applying this method to Georgian results in ratio of about three to one But Mr Howard said this method is invalid when dealing with community colleges where many of the courses because of safety regulations lalxnatory facilities and the necessary close liaison between teacher aitd student reduces class size to as low as six students Mr rawford also pointed out that this method would not take into account that major portion of administration time is spent preparing and ad ministering courses for 1100 parttime and extension students or the equivalent of 1135 fulltime students in adult training programs Mr Howard said there are also courses where students are on aitd off campus for intervals of up to six months and some subjects are more difficult to teach requiring iitore time on the part of the teacher There are no course outlines provided for college programs so teachers must also spend time preparing courses The colleges contract with the Ontario Public Service Employees Union to which the teachers belong allows for maximum of 19 hours contact with students for academic teachers and 21 hours for skill teachers Mr Howard said additional work of preparing supervising aiid appraising programs us ually result in teachers working ill excess of 40 hours week for which they get art extra month holiday Mind you dont think it is an unattractive profession Mr Howard said adding there is considerable flexibility in the offhours The second largest item iii the near $102 million budget is plant at 1176 per cent or $1194228 This category iii The Market Place Wednesday Sept 19765 Operating Georgian College expensive business cludes all buildings and equip ment Adiminstralion takes up 642 per cent or 3651951 of the budget Administrative sal aries have increased over the past few years Mr Crawford said but the size of the ad ministrative staff has decreased keeping administra tion costs fairly constant Student services take up $462053 or 455 per cent of the budget and educational re sources consume the remaining 277 per cent or $281293 in summing the expen ditures Mr Howard concluded 80 per cent of our budget is people Breaking the budget down in to its simplest terms it costs Georgian College an average of $3240 to educate one student for one year student in basic post sccondary program pays $285 year for the education This does not include books supv plies and special fees There is not as much statistical information avai lable regarding community col leges as there is for other government agencies It is difficult to find any figures such as per pupil cost for each of the 22 colleges which would indicate how well Georgian compares to the rest Mr Crawford could supply figures showing how Georgian spends its money in comparison to the other colleges in 197475 Georgian spent 746 per cent of its budget on academic items above the pro vincial average of 078 per cent In all other areas educa tional resources student ser vices administration and plant Georgian was between one and three percentage points below the provincial average
