Furlough days may recur in 2012
By ADINA SOLOMON
The Red & Buck
Dreaded furlough days are gone, but
perhaps not for long.
FUrlough days where state employ
ees, including those from the University
System of Georgia, take obligatory days
off without pay were mandated by the
Board of Regents in semesters past.
FUrlough days were a last-ditch effort
to help the state get out of massive debt,
said John Millsaps, spokesman for the
Board of Regents.
“The budget hole was so big that they
ran out of other options at that point,” he
said.
Millsaps said the Governor’s Office of
Hanning and Budget told the Board of
Regents to not mandate any furlough
days for fiscal year 2011, which began July
1, 2010 and ends June 30, 2011.
But the Board of Regents thinks fiscal
year 2012 running from July 1, 2011 to
June 30, 2012 could be a different story.
“Fiscal year 2011 won’t be as difficult as
fiscal year 2010, but they’re looking at the
2012 fiscal year as maybe the hardest yet,”
Millsaps said.
He said one reason for this is because
stimulus money previously received will
expire by fiscal year 2012. Also, a special
student fee of S2OO charged each semester
will end in fiscal year 2012.
But Millsaps said the fixture Is hazy for
furlough days.
“I couldn’t predict it. The clear mes

forced to leave, according
to the report.
Axelrod reportedly ran
toward Lay-Z Shopper, but
was unable to punch in the

officers caught up.
While sitting on the

rotating seats would be
filled by nonmember —but
influential campus
groups, such as Volunteer
UGA.
In the second option, 18
representatives would be
chosen from each category
of groups In the Center for
Btudent Organizations.
“The approach we have
to take Is for the seats to
represent common mis
sions, ideas and visions
within that category,”
Delaney said.
The academic category
has the highest number of
member organizations at
104. Most categories, such
as arts, religious, profes
sional and service, have at
least 26 member organiza
tions.
Locke, the senator who
proposed the new seats,
said the one senator from
the 25 or so organizations
sage is to try to avoid those this year;”
Millsaps said.
Tom Jffckson, vice president for public
affairs, said the University is doing “slight
ly” better financially this year than last
year.
“We had a substantial tuition increase
that helped with the budget,” Jackson
said.
Tim Burgess, senior vice president for
finance and administration, also said the
University is in a better financial position
this year partly due to the SSOO tuition
increase for both in-state and out-of-state
students.
“We’ve been able to hold the lines on
expenditures. We have seriously curtailed
hiring to the point that there are a lot of
vacant positions,” Burgess said.
He said because the Board of Regents
didn’t require furloughs this year, the
University has tried to balance the budget
without them.
John Soloski, a journalism professor,
said though it puts strain on his finances,
he understands the University was forced
to take the furlough days.
“I think they had no choice,” Soloski
said. “The UGA budget may be OK, but
the state budget may be in trouble.”
Millsaps said fiirlough days are not the
ideal tactic for increasing revenue because
the state has long-term budget problems
It needs to fix.
“A fiirlough is a short-term solution,”
he said. “The structural problem still
remains."

If new senators are cho
sen this way, one College of
Agricultural and
Environmental Sciences
senator, Gena Perry, said
she’s not sure South
Campus would be fairly
represented.
In the second option, Ag
Hill Council would vie
against 10 organizations for
a Senate position.
Though the category It
would be competing In has
one of the fewest numbers
of member organizations.
Perry who is also the Ag
Hill Council’s president
said Ag Hill Council plays a
big role in South Campus
affairs.
“I would hope that,
being such a big part of
South Campus, we would
have a good chance,” she
said.
