Show Caption BRYAN TUCK/THE ADVOCATE Joseph Savoie, far left, president of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, tells reporters Thursday how the university plans to economize in an effort to avoid furloughs and layoffs and to maintain academic excellence.
  ...
  University of Louisiana at Lafayette President Joseph Savoie announced those decisions Thursday as he outlined how ULL's budget looks after a loss of $14.7 million in state funding in the past year.
  
  The cuts began in January, with a cut of $4.3 million in state funding and another $7.5 million cut this fiscal year.
  
  While other universities, including LSU, have proposed layoffs and furloughs, Savoie said, ULL tried to steer clear of short-term solutions.
  
  ULL developed a furlough plan per the University of Louisiana System's request of its member institutions, but Savoie said he would prefer not to implement it.
  ...
  Savoie highlighted a few initiatives that will take effect this fall:
  
  Vacant positions will be frozen, saving about $2 million. Savoie estimated freezing 20 faculty and 10 administrative positions. Deferred maintenance projects will be reduced by $2.1 million. Internal grant funding for research and economic development will be reduced by $1.5 million.
  ...
  Savoie said the university is still reviewing class enrollments and classroom space to ensure optimal use.
  
  "Students should not see a slowdown in their ability to take courses toward their graduation," he assured.

  University of Louisiana at Lafayette President Joseph Savoie said some people disagree with the research center's approach to biomedical research and would prefer to not have primates used at all, but the center is used for the promotion of human health.
  
  "We're unlikely to be able to convince people to look at things in a balanced way," Savoie said.

  ...
  ULL President Joe Savoie, Acadian Ambulance CEO Richard Zuschlag and the presidents of area hospitals held a news conference Monday to urge the state House of Representatives to restore at least 75 percent of the proposed cuts.
  ...
  Savoie said that, if the full cuts are implemented, an estimated 22 jobs at ULL that will become vacant in the near future will not be filled.
  
  The cuts could result in furloughs, he said.
  
  Regardless of whether 75 percent of the proposed cuts are restored, Savoie said, the university is looking to reduce course offerings, to reduce the number of adjunct professors, to implement a hiring freeze and other measures.
  
  Savoie said higher education is facing what amounts to a 25 percent reduction when considering the midyear budget cuts this fiscal year, the proposed cuts and the expenses the state once covered but is now passing on to universities.
  
  "That's too much to take on," he said.
