I suspect that most people would be surprised if we were to refer to the University of Arizona as a corporate entity. In many ways we are one of the ways in which we can be considered a corporate entity is in terms of the economic impact. Our operating budget, for example, is about $400 million a year, we employ about 12,000 people we are embarking or we are fairly well along with the initial stages, at least, of a two to $300 million construction program. So the economic impact on the Tucson area is enormous. On the state, it's quite significant. Because in terms of construction, the construction dollars we spend the firms we attract to do construction reach out much further than Tucson. It is important also in terms of where we attract the money from. We have approximately $50 million in federal research, money coming into the university and injection into the area and reverberates throughout the state. And the number of things we do in research throughout the state also have an economic impact. So the power and strength would essentially be equivalent to any corporation employing 12,000 people and having a budget of $400 million.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1078/collection_resources/73578/file/159327#t=465.0,559.999"},{"id":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1078/collection_resources/73578/file/159327/transcript/37773/annotation/17","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"UNKNOWN SPEAKER: Are we the largest employer in southern Arizona?

Another part is the capital uses of funds for any unit in the university.

And under those circumstances, what basically happens is that another unit of the university, within a given vice president's area will have some of its funds shifted to the deficit unit. Now, then, the problem then becomes one of how do you prevent it from from happening again, you install the necessary controls, basically cash and budget controls were in individual units. So the university may bump up against these controls, which virtually automatically stopped them from going into a deficit position. Okay.

But it must keep in mind that the University of Arizona is essentially a new university. And as a result, we are basically doing what many of the universities did in the 50s and 60s, how we've been able to do it. And how we are proposing to do it certainly is, is a key question, particularly in light of the recent tuition discussions. Expectations are obviously that if you're going to finance the buildings, and the state of Arizona has, as terminated, providing the resources to build buildings, you have to do it through bonding, and therefore the bonds have to be paid back. The tuition discussions centered about the use of student fees and tuition to pay for buildings. That is really a very minor source. Literally, I can't tell you what the what the proportion is. But I would venture a guess and indicate that it would be the source of paying off less than a third of our buildings. You specifically mentioned cancer building. And it is an excellent Case in point, the buildings cost was slightly under $15 million. Of that, about 10, and a half million dollars was provided by donors. And about $2 million was provided for out of bonding, which will be paid off by research. The remainder of it will be paid off by patient revenues. Basically, we have a $15 million advanced state of the art facility that is usable by graduate students, and researchers. And there was no tuition involved. A more recent to come, I should say, building will be the the large, significant College of Agriculture classroom laboratory building. That will be approximately paid for 20% by tuition and fees. And the remainder of it by donations and research. The gold Simpson building very large, 200,000 square foot building we just opened, there is the overwhelming proportion of it, almost no tuition and fee money, Electrical and Computer Engineering, the same. So what we are unique in two ways, our big program and our ability to do it out of a number of different sources.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1078/collection_resources/73578/file/159327#t=923.0,1082.999"},{"id":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1078/collection_resources/73578/file/159327/transcript/37773/annotation/31","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"UNKNOWN SPEAKER: What about I know we also have a number of buildings that were built in the 1920s?

The University of Arizona has been quite fortunate that there, there have been some innovative ways of taking care of the problem. There have been some amounts of money provided by the legislature, they've been internally generated amounts of money. But all of that is really immaterial. It is more that the people who have been here in management positions, have concern themselves with the problem, have done something about it, and have been able to keep the buildings in in in a reasonably good state. And there's nothing you can do about modernization under those circumstances in terms of a 1985 or 86 chemistry lab that you need when you're living with a 1926 chemistry lab.

What about our safety and crime problem on campus? Obviously, we encourage students to bring heavy chains in a lock for their bicycles and theft can be a problem if you leave your dorm room unlocked. At least some areas near the campus have had a problem with rape in the past. What can you do? or What can your people do to really address these concerns and issues?

And simply because we have about 40,000 people on any given day, in roughly 350 acre space. What we can do about it may well be more limited than people would like. And certainly more limited than then I believe, people would think we we do have, as you know, a police force that is constituted as a police force with with every responsibility, and right and training context in which to operate. We have plans for an auxiliary that would permit walking patrols, we are expanding dramatically the lighting program for parking areas. Unfortunately, human nature leaves us with some difficulty. We simply can't prevent all that we'd like to prevent. And we simply can't require that what we can require. But we cannot actually realize reporting of incidents that would permit us to pursue them. As much as is possible. Many people just simply avoid to avoid reporting minor thefts and break ins and that kind of thing. It's a difficult topic, and we've got a number of people working on it, and I don't think it ever will be satisfied.

So yes, there's there's a desire to instill some feelings of confidence through that first sight. Yes, a very, very heavy effort at the outset. As disturbing as it is to remind people that there is crime potential in dark areas and untended purses and unlocked bicycles, we'd rather run the risk of heightening people's concerns, but have them begin a new way of living, if you will, and do their part toward prevention.
