"A public safety operation is strongest when officers are familiar with a campus and its students, and our objective is to retain that as much as possible while also providing officers the opportunity to become familiar with all of the campuses in case the need for back-up arises," Constantine said.
Other components of the budget include a halt for the search for a new director of institutional diversity, a restructuring of the chapel system and some $900,000 in savings through "a range of projects in areas such as lighting, heating, insulation, refrigeration and water conservation." Additionally, the president noted the possibility of developing a "shared health services position" within the Five Colleges.
According to President Christ, the board also approved fundraising campaign that will begin on July 1, 2009. The target goal is $500 million dollars, which President Christ said is a sign of the board's "confidence in Smith and its future."
