While the university is encouraged by the current year's budget, and by the Governor's commitment to higher education, the unmet needs of the university are significant and troubling. The university's unmet needs can be summarized as: a need for basic foundational support, which is secure from year to year, in order to continue to provide full-time faculty, academic support staff, library resources and services, building maintenance, and computing services; support for critical emerging needs (as identified in the University Strategic Plan) to serve the needs of the state as we enter the twenty-first century. The university's unmet needs and the state's unmet needs are synonymous. As The State University of New Jersey, Rutgers serves the instructional, research, and service needs of the citizens of the state. Adequate and consistent state support enables the university to address current and emerging state needs. Without such support, the university has limited options: either to maintain affordability and sacrifice quality, or to maintain excellence at the expense of affordability. Neither of these options serves the state well.
