From the Cornell Daily Sun: After months of incremental cost-cutting measures, Cornell has launched “Resilient Cornell,” an initiative to reduce costs across all campuses through a restructuring of the University’s workforce and operations. The plan, announced Oct. 16 in a statement by President Michael Kotlikoff, Provost Kavita Bala, Provost for Media Affairs Dr. Robert Harrington, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Chris Cowen and Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer Christine Lovely mark Cornell’s latest framework to address ongoing financial challenges.
The announcement follows a series of three earlier statements regarding the University’s financial health, outlining various short-term budget measures, such as extending an indefinite hiring freeze and limiting discretionary spending. Resilient Cornell formalizes these efforts into a unified program to achieve “lasting change that will support a strong Cornell for generations to come.”
...Additionally, the University has hired Huron Consulting, a firm that has previously advised reorganization efforts at institutions including George Washington University to assess different aspects of the University’s operations. Members of the Cornell community can contribute feedback about the University's process to deal with financial issues through a suggestion portal.
