Cresap, McCormick, and Paget
Biography
In an effort to control operating costs in the 1970's, Northwestern University's administration hired Cresap, McCormick and Paget Inc., the management consultant firm, for the purpose of identifying ways to reduce the amount of secretarial, clerical and associated costs to a level that the University could budgetarily support while maintaining proper service and competitive salaries. A task force was formed consisting of members of the consultant's staff and University personnel, representing several units on the Evanston campus. A steering committee of Evanston campus was divided into twenty-three units, described as either an academic or administrative unit, and the task force prepared draft and final evaluations of the units. The reports for academic units were addressed to Provost Raymond W. Mack and those for the administrative units were addressed to President Robert H. Strotz. A summary evaluation was also written and addressed to President Strotz.
