That fund will level out a lot of potential "financial necessities". There's talk of including other state university systems in that endowment. Watch what happens in this pass of the legislature (the biennial session opened this week and runs till May) | |

Actual furloughs (layoffs) become much more common as you go down the tiers, often due to research dollars becoming less of the budget. | |

While the AAUP is an independent organization without much "teeth" other than censuring an institution, it does have significant moral clout among academics in the US. If this clause worries you, you might ask your contacts whether their definitions of "financial necessity" are the same as the AAUP's. | |
