To help make up for the budget deficit, scale back the enormous salaries of administrators, deans, the provost, and the president. Let them provide true leadership by modeling shared sacrifice.

English faculty and administrators across the nation stand in support of the "ASU Against 5/5" movement. A quality education for students and sound teaching conditions for instructors should not be sacrificed due to budget shortfalls. Students and faculty are the heart of the university. The university does not exist without them. Budget shortfalls must be met another way.

I hope they form a union and get some support that way.

This move would clearly undermine the quality of instruction (and other goals ASU has embraced, such as retention). As well as being unjust, it's penny-wise and pound-foolish.

Instructors should be recognized and valued for their service to the university, not punished and used as a means of making up a budget shortfall. ASU itself has noted that decreased class size and overall student total increase retention.

This move will inevitably lead to less effective teaching and a decline in retention. I strongly oppose this increase in workload.

Teaching students to write and think clearly is incredibly time consuming. Students need MORE time with instructors, not less.
