Chapter 424 I didn't even think about using Yale finance
"We agree to expand the campus police force, but the premise is that the power of appointing and removing police officers and supervising work quality of the campus police department needs to be transferred to our students. We spent money to come to Yale and paid tuition, so we enjoy knowledge and education services; we paid for accommodation
Fees, so we enjoy the accommodation services provided by the residential college; similarly, we pay administrative surcharges, which include the construction and maintenance costs of the campus police station, as well as the salaries of the campus police officers."
"As employers, we students should have the right to supervise the actual performance of their duties by the campus police. Mr. President, professors, personal safety is the most basic human right. This is the right we should fight for!"
It’s Monday again in a new week, and it’s still the same old place as the Connecticut Auditorium. Carter didn’t even change his seat, quietly watching everyone’s speeches.
Obviously, the arguments he promoted on Friday have already caused a small hurricane...
"Or open up our right to bear guns! Let us protect ourselves. After a weekend survey, our Board of Governors and the Senate compiled statistics: Currently, the trust of undergraduates and graduate students in the campus police department is as follows. Full trust.
The number of people who believe that the campus police department can protect our safety accounts for less than 1%, and those who trust it only account for 11.39%. On the other hand, the total number of people who do not trust it accounts for as high as 61.89%."
"I believe this report can explain a lot of problems! The campus police department under the administrative system cannot do its job well. It is time for them to carry out management system changes. Just as we at Yale can be where we are today, it is because of the
The original liberal arts professorship system is the same as the Yale student professorship system."
"The University Senate, the Board of Governors, the Senate and the two professorial associations jointly established the Yale Campus Police Committee. There are five standing members, including one chairman of the committee, with a two-year term and a rotation system. To ensure that Yale teachers and students meet the safety needs of
Fairness and consistency. The future Yale Police Department will be directly responsible to the Campus Police Committee, and the appointment of its director will also need to be voted on by the committee.”
Looking down at the student representatives who were obviously clumsy, and the two main members of the professor committee whispering to each other, cold sweat broke out on Director Anfinson's forehead instantly...
If the campus police department is transferred to the Shilao Subcommittee from now on, then he, as the director, will definitely be the first to be fired. Who could have allowed such a major event like the murder of a student to happen under his management?!
As for Principal Giamma, his face didn't look good at this time. Obviously, the professors were more excited about this proposal than the liberal gun ban. They don't have to worry about the escalation of violence caused by students carrying guns, and they can manage it more efficiently.
School affairs...
They have no reason not to support it, after all, this is weighting in disguise!
In Yale where power is decentralized, this power may not fall on a certain professor. But as long as it falls on their group, there is always an opportunity!
"Everyone! Regarding whether the campus police department should be managed by the school office or by a new committee, we can put it back a little bit. The core problem is the insufficient campus police force. Currently, we only have 46 members in the Yale Police Department.
There are full-time police officers, 8 police cars, and more police officers use bicycles and act alone."
"The direct police-citizen ratio has reached an exaggerated 1:869. To achieve effective public security prevention and control, the police-citizen ratio must be at least between 1:200 and 1:130. This means that we need at least additional
There are 220 police officers, 220 sets of relevant police equipment and uniforms, at least 50 patrol cars, and hundreds of bicycles and motorcycles."
Taking off the glasses on the bridge of her nose, Giamma said calmly:
"This means a large amount of financial investment. In the future, the fixed expenditure of the police station will reach at least 2.8 million yuan every year. At present, the purchase of 50 patrol cars, plus other vehicles and police equipment, will cost at least 2.8 million yuan.
It requires more than 800,000 US dollars. How to solve the financial burden of 3.6 million US dollars?"
"Please don't ignore the fact that our alumni donations are declining; the enrollment work is not optimistic. This initial investment of 3.6 million US dollars means that it will cost 600 students one year's tuition! And every year in the future, there will be more
It costs almost as much to maintain.”
"How many students do we have in total, gentlemen? And professors, think about your research funding. Children, think about the free book lending services, free gyms, swimming pools you enjoy now..."
Facing Giamma's gaze, many people lowered their heads. Funding issues are a big obstacle facing Yale now...
At this time, Yale was not yet the top school that would produce three consecutive U.S. presidents in the future. It was not even the most famous law school at Yale. A few decades earlier, it was still a school that could not even be ranked in the United States and could only train a little bit.
Second-rate or even third-rate colleges for sexual legal talents.
The deterioration of the economic environment has not only prevented many children who could have gone to college from going to college. At the same time, alumni donations have also dropped sharply. Alumni donations usually account for more than 27% of the financial revenue of American universities, which is a very important income.
One of the sources.
It’s okay now, everything is decreasing!
Everyone is cutting back on expenditures, but Yale is going big at this time? It wants to split a penny in half and spend the money on campus police construction? Is it wrong? What is the most important thing about a university?!
It is an academic achievement and social influence!
Without academic achievements, who would be willing to come to a rubbish college like yours? Without social influence, who would be willing to donate to you?!
However, if academic results are to be produced, the initial investment in scientific research funds is not a small amount. And Yale, which has squeezed the school board of trustees out of the center of power, cannot try to tide over the difficulties through additional investment by the school board of trustees like Princeton did.
Are Yale teachers and students required to take to the streets together and beg with a broken bowl? Oh... By the way, beggars in the United States usually use coffee cups...
"Mr. Black!"
After scanning the venue, Principal Giyama did not forget the culprit who caused the scene before him. A certain Carter who turned into a little transparent as soon as he entered the venue...
"Mr. Principal?"
"I saw the report about you last Friday in the "Daily News". I am very happy to see the face of the freshman representative on an occasion like today. In less than a month after enrolling,
So I integrated into Yale and started serving Yale public services, which moved me very much. If I remember correctly, the opinions just put forward by your seniors and sisters are actually your thoughts at their core, right?"
Giamma raised her hand and signaled Carter to come to the center of the venue:
"I want to hear your opinion as an advocate, and through your narrative, I want to understand the thoughts of our new generation at Yale. You can see that there are too few freshmen in the venue, and the children are still very shy. You should
Do you mind speaking on their behalf?"
Shy?!
How does this make me sound shameless?
With his heart ticking, Carter walked into the venue with his head held high.
"Of course I don't mind! Since you believe me, let me tell you what I think...Actually, I never thought about using Yale's finances to fill the holes in campus police construction in the first place..."
Chapter completed!
