Many governments are, or will, need to divert funds from the
usual priorities to address the pandemic and issues arising such
as economic impact. No doubt this will impact many
post-secondary institutions. For example, yesterday we learned
that post-secondary institutions in Manitoba have been asked to
decrease expenditures by 30% </div>

Most faculty members are not involved in making decisions
about library budgets. They likely see the big deals of
commercial publishers as a service that they do not wish to
lose, rather than high-priced services that are paid for from
the same pool of funds that pay their salaries.</div>

One way to help faculty understand would be to prepare an
explanation of the cost of the big deals that puts the two
together, i.e. if we need to cut something, should be cut x
number of faculty positions or big deal y (or x% of faculty
salaries v. big deal y), for presentation to faculty
associations and university administrators.</div>

Explaining the financial and academic-social benefits of an
approach prioritizing bibliodiversity would be a little bit
more complicated, but arguments that faculty would likely
understand and support can be made. For example, instead of
100% of savings from cancelling all big deals to retain as
many faculty as possible, perhaps using 80% of savings for
this purpose and using the remainder to provide salaries for
academics and support staff in local publishing (university
press, scholarly society or library-based).</div>

I suspect this is best done proactively, early on when
discussions about how to go about cuts are getting started. </div>
