SIU could see Layoffs, resignations millions cut from cause drop in faculty budget in future ANNA SPOERRE | @AnnaSpoerre

An email sent Wednesday to faculty members from the Faculty Association obtained by the Daily Egyptian referenced a plan to cut an additional $34 million from SIU’s budget, which would cause another 10 percent cut to academic affairs. University spokeswoman Rae Goldsmith said those numbers make up one of multiple scenarios being considered depending on when the university receives funding from the state and how much is allocated. Last fiscal year, the university received about 80 percent of the funding it was supposed to get from the state, thanks to a couple partial stop-gap budgets. At the Sept. 8 Board of Trustees meeting in Edwardsville, SIU President Randy Dunn said while the university system received $106 million for fiscal year 2017 through June’s stopgap budget, SIU will struggle to get through FY17 if it doesn’t see any more state appropriations. If a $34 million cut is implemented, there will likely be another round of job cuts, Johnson said. Dave Johnson, president of the Faculty Association, which represents tenured and tenure-track faculty, said part of the reason he thinks people have been hesitant to speak up is because every time there is a cut, everyone looks around and says, “I’m still here … so I’m just going to keep my head down and hope for the best.” From fall 2006 to fall 2015, the number of full- and part-time faculty decreased by 246 professors,

according to university data. The exact numbers of faculty for this semester will be released this month, said David DiLalla, associate provost for academic affairs, though he won’t have exact breakdowns of who left for what reasons because faculty aren’t required to release that information. SIU had 3,651 faculty and staff as of May 1. As of Aug. 18, the count was at 3,229, a decrease of 422 employees, according to information obtained from a Freedom of Information Act request. Johnson said if more NTT reductions are made, it is likely more tenured faculty will have to pick up heavier teaching loads and set aside less time for service work and research. “At some point if you ask them for too much more teaching then you change the nature of the university to a regional university rather than a national research university as SIU aspires to be,” he said. He said people need to start speaking up to state legislators and vote for those who support higher education. “What’s a state university if the state doesn’t fund it?” he said. Johnson said morale among faculty and staff at SIU, like that at many public universities, is low. “The administration needs to reassure faculty and students that they’re doing everything they can to protect the most important thing we do at this university, which is teaching,” he said.

ANNA SPOERRE | @AnnaSpoerre

While on a July study-abroad trip with his wife and eight students in Spain, Jennifer Smith’s husband received an email most people hope they’ll never get. He had been laid off. Smith, who described their reaction as caught off-guard and isolated, said it took some time before she learned that her husband, who was approaching 10 years teaching alongside her as faculty in the Department of Languages, Cultures, and International Trade, was not the only one left jobless. In a July 5 message to faculty, interim

Chancellor Brad Colwell announced five continuing status non-tenure track (NTT) faculty were being laid off. Roughly 10 non-tenure track faculty did not have their term appointments renewed and about a dozen others received reduced contracts as the result of an almost 10 percent cut to the academic affairs funding. Administration officials said the cuts were made because of the state budget stalemate and other factors such as retirements, resignations and poor performance. More than 150 faculty and staff positions were also left vacant. But Shannon Lindsay, who

became president of the university’s non-tenure track faculty union in July, said more than a few dozen SIU faculty lost their jobs this summer. She said another 91 NTT faculty did not have their contracts renewed by the university. These job losses are not technically classified as layoffs because NTT contracts expire on a year-to-year or semester-to semester basis for all NTT faculty who have fewer than the 10 semesters necessary to earn continuing status. But, she said, a non-renewed contract is still a big deal, Lindsay said. Please see LAYOFFS | 3

Though NTT can gain more security with the continuing status, it does not protect them like tenured status would, Lindsay said. “It doesn’t make sense to me because the faculty members who were non-renewed were such valuable members of the faculty,” said Lindsay, who is also an NTT faculty member in the School of Information Systems and Applied Technology. “This does give the impression we’re less valuable.” Tenure track and tenured faculty are required to participate in service and research while teaching courses, whereas non-tenure track are only contracted to teach — giving them more classroom time and less job security. “Even if you could just tell the tenured track faculty to teach more, there are numerous NTT faculty who have special expertise that no tenure-track faculty member happens to have,” said Dave Johnson, president of the Faculty Association, which represents tenured and tenure-track faculty. Many spouses of tenure-track faculty lost their jobs earlier or had contracts cut back, so a lot of faculty are worried about their job security right now, Johnson said.

“They feel powerless and frustrated and depressed,” he said during a recent interview. Smith’s husband, who asked not to be named in the story, had taught at the university as a nontenure track faculty member since 2007. Smith, who is tenured, began teaching at SIU in 2006. “Because it was done so silently, the initial reaction was shock,” said Smith, who recalled that people in her own department didn’t even know her husband had lost his job. “It just felt sort of like it had happened secretly because there wasn’t a lot of media coverage around it and the actual memo didn’t give a reason for why the people laid off were the ones selected to be laid off.” Smith also said her family never received words of condolence or sympathy from the administration. “It’s kind of like mourning,” Smith said of her husband’s job loss. “You go through stages of anger and depression and then acceptance.” She said in situations like this, there are often feelings of shame as the person laid off asks themself, “what have I done?” In this case, the administration blamed the state’s fiscal crisis and a budget impasse that forced many public Illinois universities to make significant financial cuts.

Autumn Douglas | @autumn_douglas Associate Professor of Spanish Jennifer Smith, of Carbondale, speaks with a student Tuesday during her Neoclassicism and Romanticism class in Faner Hall.

“About 96 percent of my budget is salaries,” said Meera Komarraju, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (COLA), where four of the five layoffs were made. “I have very little else I can give up.” Komarraju made the layoff decisions for her college. The fifth layoff was in the College of Engineering. “Any time we’re facing a budget reduction or a budget shortfall, we want to do anything we can to avoid layoffs,” said David DiLalla, associate provost for academic affairs. DiLalla said not everyone who left was a victim of the budget. Some retired or resigned, or were let go for poor performance, he said. COLA was significantly affected by the cuts because of its large number of NTT faculty, he said. “It’s very painful personally and it’s painful institutionally when we have to do that,” said DiLalla, who previously taught in COLA’s psychology department. “It’s not a step that we take lightly.” Smith, the language professor, said the personnel cuts make it seem like the administration doesn’t care if faculty stay or go. She said many employees are exploring other career options, though it can be difficult for tenured faculty to find a position elsewhere. “Nobody knows what it’s like until they’ve gone through it,” Smith, who has a 4-year-old daughter, said of her husband’s layoff. “It’s put a huge financial strain, especially since we have a small one.” Even though the administration said it didn’t want to lay off people, Smith said the situation makes employees feel unappreciated. She said she thinks campus administrators tried to “gloss things over because they don’t want to lose more students,” but that transparency is the best option. “It’s hard because you think at this point in your life you’re finally settled,” Smith said. “Now we have to rethink everything.” Campus editor Anna Spoerre can be reached at aspoerre@dailyegyptian.com.

Former Sanders staffers, SIUC grads discuss role of technology, digital fundraising HANNAH COOPER | @HCooper_DE

Two SIU alumni and staffers for Bernie Sanders returned to the university on Tuesday to reveal the secrets behind the campaign that got the attention of millennials across the country. The event — the first of the semester in a series called “Pizza and Politics,” which is organized by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute — gathered about two dozen students. “One of the big takeaways I got … is how integral technology is to a presidential campaign,” said Zach Schneider, a 2015 SIU graduate who worked as the senior staffer in charge of technology for the Sanders campaign. The second Saluki on the campaign was Tim Tagaris, a digital fundraising director for Sanders and a 2001 graduate, spoke about the aspects of digital fundraising and campaigning that made Sanders’ time in the spotlight significant. “He made it clear he probably wasn’t going to win,” Tagaris said in reference to Sanders’ attitude about his campaign

against presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination. “But he was in it to win it.” Tagaris, who is now a digital consultant for Bill de Blasio, the mayor of New York, said his initial projections for campaign donations were around $30 million to $50 million. Within a day of the online campaign opening, he said $1.5 million were donated by 35,000 supporters. “We were onto something extraordinarily special,” he said. “Because of our early success, we decided that the way we raised money would be central to the campaign.” Tagaris went on to reference “Birdie Sanders,” a nickname acquired by the politician after a bird landed on Sanders’ podium while he was speaking at a rally in Oregon. He said “Birdie Sanders” stickers were made and sent to anyone who donated to the campaign. Following the announcement of the sticker, supporters donated $1.6 million in 24 hours. The online approach successfully reached a younger audience; the most common age of donors was 27, and

94 percent of all donations were made online, he said. But Tagaris’ early projections were blown out of the water with eight million contributors donating $218 million by the end of the campaign.

“We were onto something extraordinarily special. Because of our early success, we decided that the way we raised money would be central to the campaign. ” - Tim Tagaris Digital fundraising director

Schneider, who is now a software engineer with aHa! Labs Inc., said his biggest takeaway from the Sanders campaign was helping introduce technology that changes business without scaring people away. Schneider, who was twice on SIU’s championship debate team, said one such method was “text banking,” as opposed to phone banking. This allowed younger supporters to be reached more easily. Despite these technological strategies, Tagaris attributed the success of the campaign to the candidate’s authentic message. Tagaris said he hopes the Sanders campaign will change the way campaigns are funded and allow a future where people from any economic background can run for any office. “You don’t have to be a millionaire,” he said.

Feel unsafe walking through campus at night? Saluki Patrol officers will escort you SHANNON ALLEN @ShannonAllen_DE

SIU students and faculty can now feel safer walking across campus at night while accompanied by Saluki Patrol officers with the new SIU Safe Walk app. The app, which launched this fall, allows students, faculty and staff to request a Saluki Patrol officer to meet the user and escort them to any destination on campus. The patrol officers are SIU students working with the university police department to gain experience in law enforcement. SIU police Sgt. Chad Beights said the officers will also walk people to their off-campus residence, so long

as it is south of Walnut Street, west of Lewis Lane, north of Pleasant Hill Road and east of Oakland Avenue. Saluki Patrol officers will escort people during the times listed below, according to their website. Monday: 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Tuesday to Thursday: 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. Friday: 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Saturday: 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Beights said he hopes people see the app as a resource. “Depending where you grew up, you may not be used to walking alone at night,” Beights said. “This app will help boost the confidence of knowing you will get from point A to point B safely.” Alvin Gonzales, a graduate student studying computer science

and student worker at SIU’s police department, was approached by the staff about creating the app a year and a half ago. He said he has built mobile apps in previous classes and wanted to apply his knowledge to something that could benefit the university. “It provides another way students can keep themselves safe on campus,” Gonzales said. Gonzales said so far, no one has used the app because not many people know about it. You can download the app here for Android and iOS.

SIU pundits talk third party influence on 2016 presidential election

MARNIE LEONARD | @marsuzleo

Trinidad Vicente will vote for the first time in her life come November and she has already decided to support Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. It’s not because she thinks Clinton will be a great leader. She simply detests Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. “He’s an awful choice for America,” Vicente, a freshman from Centralia studying mathematics, said during an interview Sunday. Like many young voters, Vicente said she feels as through she has to choose between two unfavorable options, and pick the lesser of two evils. While she sees third party candidates as an option, she does not believe a vote in that direction will help the country.

“I think it’d be better to vote for a third party than not at all, because at least then whoever does win knows that there are people who care about third party issues,” Vicente said. A survey of voters by the Pew Research Center found 41 percent of millennial voters identify with an independent party, making them the largest group to stray from the twoparty system. And with five weeks remaining before Election Day, the Clinton and Trump campaigns are vying for the pool of voters who remain on the fence. But Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein are in the race, too. Nearly 10 percent of Americans are considering casting votes for Libertarian or Green Party presidential candidates this November, according to polling

averages from Real Clear Politics. It’s when large percentages of voters are unhappy with major party candidates that the contest becomes “fertile ground for third party votes to surge,” said John Jackson, a visiting political science professor at the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute who is an expert on U.S. presidential elections. If you ask Jackson, voting for a third party is throwing your vote away. “Vote third party if it makes you feel good,” Jackson said. “It’s not going to make any difference or have any impact on public policy.” Election data from the Federal Election Commission shows that a third party candidate has not received more than 1 percent of the total popular vote in the last four presidential elections.

ELECTION

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE

Jackson said this is due in part to the “winner-take-all” system most of the electoral college abides by, excluding Maine and Nebraska. This system awards electoral votes to the candidate who wins a plurality of the popular vote as opposed to the majority. No representation is given to the party that earns the second or third largest chunk of votes. For individual voters, Jackson said, voting for a third party candidate is a waste because those candidates won’t have enough support to win electoral votes and thus have no chance of becoming president. The country has operated on virtually the same twoparty system since the Republicans ran a successful campaign for the presidency in the mid-1800s. “If third parties haven’t won since 1860, the argument that the Libertarians aren’t going to win and the Greens aren’t

going to win is pretty compelling,” Jackson said. Though some third party supporters will decide late to vote for a major party, Jackson said others will decide not to vote at all. These non-voters are more likely to be the younger ones. “Young people have lousy educations about the issues, so it gets to be the cool thing to say ‘I’m just going to stay home.’ Well, if you’re just going to stay home, you have effectively supported the winner because you didn’t bother to vote,” Jackson said. Jackson said there have been instances in which third party candidates have drawn away a large enough fraction of voters from a major party candidate that the opposing major party won the presidency as a result. This was the case with the 2000 presidential election, when Green Party candidate Ralph Nader drew enough votes away from Democrat Al Gore to tip the state of Florida in Republican George W. Bush’s favor. “Some [Green Party members] look

Page 7 back on that and say, ‘Al Gore was an environmentalist, so why would I want Bush in power?’” Jackson said. David Yepsen, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute, said millennial voters may be drawn to third party candidates because of the recession they grew up in. “Their aspirations have been limited, and they’re concerned about the things that made that happen,” Yepsen said. “A millennial hears a candidate complaining about banks, about high debt, and they say ‘Hey that’s me, that’s why I’m not able to do the things my parents did…’ They want candidates who do something about it.” Third party candidates often raise issues that become popular enough to be adopted into the ideologies of the Democratic or Republican parties. Yepsen said this factor tends to restrict the growth of third parties because the flexibility of the two major parties allows them to evolve based on third party movements.

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein

Those that do cast votes for third party candidates should think about possible negative consequences of doing so, Yepsen said. “If you feel strongly enough about an issue, you can make a statement,” Yepsen said. “But most Americans prefer to make a president.” Yepsen said although third party

TNS

candidates don’t usually win elections, they tend to affect change within the two major parties. “It’s not the candidate that has a chance,” Yepsen said. “It’s their ideas that are important.” Staff writer Marnie Leonard can be reached at mleonard@dailyegyptian.com.

SEAN CARLEY | @ScarleyDE

As I watched SIU football lose to Northern Iowa on Saturday, one classic quote kept running through my mind. "They are who we thought they were," the late coach Dennis Green famously said in a post-game press conference while coaching the Arizona Cardinals. The quote rings true in multiple fashions. First, we finally realized what this year's Saluki football squad is: an improved team from last year, but a team that still needs to grow before competing for a Missouri Valley Football Conference championship. SIU's wins against Southeast Missouri and Murray State lifted the hopes of fans that had an immediate turnaround on the horizon. Northern Iowa was the first true road test against comparable talent and at times, SIU appeared to crumble. The Salukis' total of 20 combined

turnovers and penalties Saturday showed that this young team is just a bit too inexperienced. The roughing the punter penalty on UNI's first drive lends evidence to that. Top teams would brush off that play, but SIU ended up allowing a touchdown. And the Dawgs have the raw talent to compete with top teams, but need time to develop. Green's quote also applies to the MVFC as a whole. Six MVFC teams were ranked in the Football Championship Subdivision coaches' poll entering Saturday, with another winning votes. The toughest team in the conference — five-peat national champion North Dakota State — isn't even on the schedule this season. But iron sharpens iron, so if the Salukis want to learn from the best, this is the league to do it in, which is an entirely different animal to face. There will be games like the one on Saturday

that are tough for watch for fans. Unless maturity happens quickly, playoffs now appear unlikely with more tough opponents on the horizon. But that's not a bad thing. Each game will be a learning experience as well as an opportunity to improve for SIU, which it has already done. The defense, especially the secondary, has cut down on huge coverage errors. The offense has limited turnovers far better than last season, even after the three on Saturday. SIU's record will likely surpass last season’s 3-8 mark. A .500 record may even be achievable. Turnarounds take time, and fans should enjoy watching the process at work because this year's team is the first step. Sports editor Sean Carley can be reached at scar@dailyegyptian.com.

MVC announces ESPN TV package for 2016-17 sports

Morgan Timms | @Morgan_Timms Junior forward Sean O’Brien passes a rebounded ball during SIU's 74-50 victory over Southeast Missouri State University on at SIU Arena. O’Brien scored 22 total points toward the win, the most of any player on the night.

SEAN CARLEY | @SCarleyDE

The Missouri Valley Conference will be all over the ESPN family of networks this year. ESPN networks will exclusively broadcast 104 MVC events through the 2016-17 academic year, conference commissioner Doug Elgin announced Wednesday. Forty-one men's basketball games will be broadcast on ESPN platforms — ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPN3. Another 63 events, across nine other Valley sports, will be provided as well. These events come in addition to the 450 live competitions that will be put together and broadcast by member schools themselves on "The Valley on ESPN3," the league's co-branded digital network. “Through multi-layered platforms, ESPN provides us with an invaluable national promotional vehicle in an ever-evolving video environment,” Elgin said in a press release. SIU basketball may be featured 10 times throughout the season — five appearances each for the men's and women's programs. The exact

number of appearances will be determined later according to the network's flex scheduling, which allows ESPN to pick which matches to show based on potential viewership. “The Wildcard selection process allows ESPN to position the game with the most impact to cap our season,” associate commissioner Jack R. Watkins said. “As a result of this process, Wichita State completed its three-peat of MVC regularseason championships on ESPN2 during the 2016 finale telecast.” As well as the basketball seasons, regular season baseball will be shown on the networks. Men's and women's soccer, volleyball, indoor and outdoor track and field, women's basketball, softball and baseball will have their conference championships broadcast on the ESPN networks. “The benefits are vast having our championships shown on 'The Valley on ESPN3,'” Watkins said. “Our families and fans, plus NCAA Division I sport committee members, can catch live action or watch our replays of our most important competitions at a critical stage of the season.”

Scouting report: South Dakota State Jackrabbits SEAN CARLEY | @SCarleyDE

SIU football suffered its worst loss of the season last Saturday against Northern Iowa, 42-21. The team will try to rebound when the No. 12 South Dakota State Jackrabbits come to Carbondale this Saturday. SDSU will come in with a 2-2 record, winning its conference opener with a resounding 5214 victory against then-No. 8 Western Illinois. The Jackrabbits may be the most similar team to SIU in all of the Missouri Valley Football Conference, with a stellar offense and suspect defense. South Dakota State is averaging a staggering 45 points per game, fourth most in the Football Championship Subdivision. SIU now stands at 32.8 points per game. However, the Dawgs have outgained SDSU on offense — averaging 467 yards per game to 433.8 for the Jackrabbits. SDSU is led on offense by sophomore quarterback Taryn Christion, who has 1,170 total yards passing with 15 touchdowns. Continuing the similarity, SIU quarterback Josh Straughan has thrown for 1,228 yards and nine touchdowns. Even the two teams' backfields are similar, using two feature backs with two other specialty backs. South Dakota State's two main running backs — junior Brady Mengarelli and sophomore Issac Wallace — have combined for 388 yards on the ground this season. SIU's sophomore Daquan Isom and senior Aaron Stanton have combined for 376. The biggest difference lies in the two teams ability to hold onto the

football. SIU has committed six turnovers this season to SDSU's two. The Jackrabbits' biggest weakness is their defense, but even that unit has shown signs of improvement. Entering last week's game, SDSU had allowed 524.3 yards per game, 14th-worst in the FCS. SIU's defense is better at limiting yardage, currently allowing 391 per game. South Dakota State's defense easily had its best game of the season against Western Illinois, holding the Leathernecks to 342 yards. They only allowed 190 yards total after the first quarter. Redshirt freshman linebacker Christian Rozeboom has made his mark on the Jackrabbit defense, tying the team-high in tackles (34), sacks (1.5) and interceptions (1). Overall, the Jackrabbits do not put much pressure on the opposing offense. They rank in the bottom 25 of the FCS in sacks (4) and last in tackles for loss (11). Their lack of pressure gets recovered in the secondary as SDSU has intercepted the ball seven times this season. By comparison, SIU has just three, which all came in the win against Murray State. One major strength South Dakota State has against SIU comes from its organization and discipline. SDSU has committed 18 penalties all season, sixth-fewest in the FCS. SIU committed 17 against Northern Iowa alone. Fans can expect a high-octane shootout in Saluki Stadium on Saturday, but the game will likely be decided by which defense can limit mistakes and stay composed.

Penalties and three turnovers plague SIU football in conference loss to Northern Iowa SEAN CARLEY | @SCarleyDE

Nick Hill’s first Missouri Valley Football Conference game as head coach did not go well for his team. SIU football dropped to 2-2 on the season after falling to Northern Iowa, 42-21, in Cedar Falls. The Salukis were their own enemy as much as UNI was on Saturday, as SIU committed 17 penalties for 150 yards. SIU also turned the ball over three times, two of which led to Panther touchdowns. SIU’s three turnovers were more than it had all season entering Saturday. Seventeen penalties are tied for the second-most in program history, while the 150 yards are second-most as well. The 17 penalties are the most by SIU since 2004. Penalties hurt SIU from the onset of the contest as UNI’s first drive was allowed to continue on a roughing the punter penalty. UNI scored a touchdown later on the drive. SIU got UNI’s lead as slim as one touchdown in the second quarter before the Panthers scored two touchdowns in less than a minute. UNI scored three plays after a bad punt and scored again on a pick-six from senior quarterback Josh Straughan on SIU’s next offensive play. The two scores pushed the Panther lead to 35-14 at halftime. Straughan went 25-35 for 307 Sports editor Sean Carley can be yards in the contest with three reached at scar@dailyegyptian.com. touchdowns and two interceptions.

He had not thrown an interception this season before Saturday. Panther senior quarterback Aaron Bailey was a thorn in SIU’s side all night as he passed for 186 yards on 11 completions with three touchdowns. He also ran for 98 yards on 20 carries with another touchdown. All three of Bailey’s touchdown went to junior wide receiver Daurice Fountain. He had 89 yards on five total receptions. UNI’s No. 5 rush defense stymied SIU, allowing 70 yards of rushing,

just above its average of 67.3. Senior running back Tyvis Smith outdid SIU by himself, tallying 72 yards on the ground with a touchdown. SIU and UNI were actually close to each other offensively as UNI outgained the Salukis 398-377. The Salukis will get the opportunity to bounce back at 6 p.m. Oct. 8 when they face South Dakota State at Saluki Stadium. Sports editor Sean Carley can be reached at scar@dailyegyptian.com.
