How to Get Your University to Reduce Your Tuition
President Obama unveiled his plan for reducing tuition costs at the University of Michigan on January 27, 2012. The Plan would tie federal campus aid to tuition policies for the first time. Mr. Obama gave few details of the proposal but said “he wants to withdraw federal campus-based aid from colleges and universities that increase tuition too rapidly or fail to provide a ‘good value’ for the money”.

Higher Education all across the nation has seen a dramatic and unwarranted increase in tuition. This is the result of university’s and state government’s unwillingness and failure to understand how to make their bureaucratic administrations efficient. Its just too easy to pass the cost of higher education to students rather than reducing their bloated administrative organizations. This book gives you the step by step approach for making university administrations and state bureaucracies efficient.

Why students should lead the movement? They have the most to gain from successfully implementing the reforms presented in this book and second the university administrations are unlikely to voluntary reduce staffing and will fight staff reductions. But with President’s Obama’s threat to cut funding now is the time to pressure the university for reform.

Students can learn from this book how to do this process and present to the university that the fact that results can be dramatic leading to $millions of savings and reduced tuition costs. One of the main problems is that university and government officials simply don’t believe that they are overstaffed but in my experience as a consultant I have found that nearly all bureaucratic organizations are overstaffed by as much as 20%. A good reason to believe these numbers is that they are representative for industry where they periodically layoff personnel and not public sector employees where no one ever gets laid off.

It will be necessary for students to confront university officials with a valid solution to the problem not just demonstrating in the streets. The university should form a University Reform Committee made up of university budget personnel and knowledgeable students and faculty to guide the implementation of the reforms.

This book shows how to use Enterprise Lean with Reform Models developed by the author to reinvent university administrations and state bureaucracies. The approach borrows the best and most successful methods from industry and applies them to the problem. This is a unique breakthrough solution which brings major reform to state institutions benefiting nearly everyone who lives in and works for the state (except for a few bureaucrats). Also with these reforms the state can balance its budget, have more resources for education and healthcare and still significantly reduce tuition and taxes.

The implementation of the reforms in this book require that only those university and state programs that remain after the cuts should be made more efficient. The good thing is that the reforms target the inherent inefficiency of the bureaucratic administration which has been left virtually untouched by the cuts previously made. Nearly all state bureaucracies can expect to see a 20% decrease in administrative staffing costs from the implementation of the General Reform Model without any decease in student and public services.

This book provides the details of how to implement the approach using Enterprise Lean in Reform Models designed for making major changes and to fix specific government problems. There are also guided template scenarios of how to implement the reforms in a bureaucratic government. The book contains the secrets that bureaucratic government doesn’t want you to know and dispels long standing myths about government.

About the Author

Lawrence Rosier is a Management Consultant specializing in Government Reform. He was formerly a Management Consultant with Alexander Proudfoot and Scheduling Corp. both firms located in Chicago. He has served on the staffs of: the Manager of Special Projects, Boeing Co., President of McDonnell Douglas Missile Systems Co. and Vice President of Manufacturing of McDonnell Douglas Missile Systems Co. Education includes degrees in Industrial Engineering and Secondary Education. He was a graduate instructor at the University of Washington Experimental Education Unit. He was also the Manager of Manufacturing Engineering for Multiplex Company in St. Louis.

His most significant achievement in the 1980s was the proposal and acceptance by Sanford McDonnell CEO of McDonnell Douglas Corp. of a modification to the company’s Quality of Work Life (QWL) implementation (the forerunner of Lean Manufacturing). The modification replaced the existing Bureaucratic organization with a Team Management organization consisting of Steering Management Teams and Functional Management Teams for the McDonnell Douglas Missile Systems Co. This Team Management style was enthusiastically received by employees and inspired employee innovation. It was used successfully for over ten years until the sale of the company to Boeing in the 1990’s.
