A Methodological Approach toSelective Cutbacks*\n\nCHARLESH.BELANGER and LISE TREMBLAY+  \n## ABSTRACT\n\nAt times -when budget must be severely reduced on short notice and whensenisible decisions must arise from complex situations-planners have to workout simple but reliable measures of resource allocation and reduction.This paperrecognizes the need for applied research in this area and proposes a budgetreduction formula that has the advantage of relating financial planning to pro-gram evaluation,faculty resources,and activity levels of departmental units.The tool developed is flexible,as it can be manipulated without endangering itsbasic assumptions to describe best each unit's intrinsic characteristics.Futher-more,its redistributive effects can be readily measured and made to respond toinstitutional priorities.  \n## RESUMÉ\n\nLorsque les budgets doivent etre réduits rapidement de facon substantielle et quedes decisions acceptables doivent etre prises à partir de situations compliquees,les planificateurs et gestionnaires ont besoin de s'appuyer sur des approchessimples et fiables d'allocation et de réduction de ressources.Cet article reconnaitla nécessité de la recherche appliquee dans ce domaine et propose une formulede reduction budgétaire qui al'avantage d'établir la relation entre la planificationfinanciere et I'évaluation des programmes,les ressources professorales et lesactivités d'enseignement des unités académiques.La flexibilite de l'instrumentpermet de respecter les caracteristiques disciplinaires de chaque unité.De plus,lesrésultats de l'application de la méthodologie donne la possibilité d'évaluer rapide-ment les effets redistributifs des réductions budgétaires et d’y porterunjugementàla lumiere des priorités institutionnelles.  \nBudget cuts have become less and less a news item as postsecondary institutionsaround the world have increasingly become targets of local and national govern-ments trying to patch up faltering economies.In a survey of European universitiesconducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(OECD),participating institutions were unanimous in deploring both the regres-sion of consumable financial means and the budget decline,worsened by an over-porportional increase in personnel costs(Bender and Henning,1980).At theUnited Kingdom's forty-five universities,some administrators,in the spring of1981,were privately toying with the idea of asking faculty members to takevoluntary pay cuts to avoid massive layoffs(Walker,1981).The situation wasnot less severe in North American institutions.Many American legislatures hadforced universities to operate with huge deficits and to declare a state of financialemergency(Magarrell,1981;Watkins,1981).Canadian provincial and federalgovernments also were being accused of having added colleges and universitiesto their \"hit list\"(Winter,1981).  \nIn the Province of Quebec alone,the balance sheets of the six universities wereexpected to show a $60-million reduction in the total $816-million universitygrant by the end of May 1982(Imbeault,1981).That austerity in higher educa-tion spending was only the beginning of a long-term plan to reduce expendituresin the public sector.In 1981,the Quebec government unveiled a triennial planfor the financing of its universities,according to which,the Universitéde Montréalcan anticipate a $45-million deficit between 1982 and 1985(Carbonneau,1981).That news came after the university had already imposed substantial horizontalreductions for the fiscal year 1981-82.  \n## SELECTING A COURSE OF ACTION\n\nConfronted with a critical situation,Université de Montréal officials took theposition that the quality of academic programs and the vitality of the institution,to say nothing of its solvency,could no longer be saveguarded by continuing tomake across-the-board compressions of its 200-million operating budget in orderto erase a $15-million annual average deficit during three consecutive years.These officials had to decide
