Revised German Termination Analysis

The original German major termination analysis considered Humboldt State University student fees as $3,843 per year and full faculty salary levels. Since then student fees have increased to $4,026 per year and faculty salary levels have decreased by about ten percent. Considering these new fiscal developments a revised termination analysis shows that the loss to the institution is estimated in the range of $20,319 to $189 per year rather than the original analysis result that showed a range from a loss of $12,005 to a gain of $7,250 per year depending on differing termination scenarios. This result shows that the cost to the institution has turned out to be much worse that originally expected. One hopes that the current approach to saving money by cutting programs as reported in the local media will be subject to the same rigorous analysis. This appears doubtful.
