Do the Math

From Herbert Pimlott, Media and Public Relations executive of WLUFA, a little math lesson:

There are 1300 classes taught by CAS.

In those classes, the average amount of students is 49 per course.

Let's say 40 students, since some classes in the music department are more individualized.

40 x 1300 = 52,000 "bums in seats" in CAS classes.

Each student pays 507.35 dollars per half credit course. Let's say 500.

500 x 52,000 = 26,000,000 (26 million) dollars from students taking CAS classes.

The government subsidizes the same amount (actually more). So 26,000,000 x 2 = 52,000,000 (52 million) dollars.

A CAS person makes 6,000 dollars for teaching a classes, there are 1,300 classes. So - 1,300 x 6,000 = 7,800,000 (7 million) dollars.

52,000,000 - 7,800,000 = 44,200,000 (44.2 million) dollars, and that's rounding down. That's what the administration makes from CAS profs. Where is the rest of that money going?

The current CAS proposal will shift 1,500,000 (1.5 million) dollars to them. So the administration will still have 42,700,000 dollars... and they are refusing to agree to that?
