Several faculty have taken up the gauntlet to question escalating costs - starting with higher education administrative bonuses. Executive bonuses may no longer be taken for granted with such moves as these, perhaps prompted by the poorly planned, cost cutting administrative shared services initiative (labeled AST, Administrative Services Transformation) which, incidentally, did NOT include the faculty voice in its cost cutting planning.It also involved the use of several consulting firms with expenses totalling over 11 million for consulting services. As as consultant myself, I know consultant have reasons to charge a high rate, but leaving the faculty voice out of a change initiative mystifies me.I look forward to hearing where this letter leads in dealing with, perhaps, some unquestioned compensation practices, and perhaps stepping higher education back to a bigger picture of where the value generation resides and how it needs to be valued today. ~ Deb
