YOUNGSTOWN
Although members of the administration stressed the importance of creating two student affairs positions to benefit Youngstown State University’s enrollment efforts, a YSU trustees committee opted to wait until the budget process is finished.
“As a member of the budget development committee, I understand the gravity of placing two positions in front of you at this time and I don’t do it lightly,” Gary Swegan, associate vice president for enrollment and planning management, told trustees’ University Affairs Committee at a meeting Thursday.
One position proposed was an undergraduate transfers coordinator, who would earn between $31,196 and $42,000 annually, and the other is a systems coordinator, whose annual salary would be between $40,300 and $54,400.
“In my six months at YSU, I’ve found many needs,” Swegan said. “These two needs rise above every other — at least in my corner of the world.”
