Where Does the Money Come From? For Texas For Higher Ed For UTPA Where Does the Money go? For Texas For Higher Ed For UTPA Two Big Questions
Let’s Peel The Onion* *Dr. Nevarez
E & G (Appropriated) Funds • Consists of two types of funds • “True” state funds; General Revenue • Local funds; Mostly tuition along with some interest, indirect cost, and a few fees.
What State funds Does UTPA Receive? • Two Formulas: • Instruction & Operations • Infrastructure Support • Special Line Items • TRB Payments • HEAF (Constitutionally authorized but apportionment is driven by legislature) • Funds Trusteed to the Coordinating Board (ATP/ARP, Texas Grant, etc.) • Flow-through funds (UTEP’s Border Consortium, UTSA’s SBDC, etc.)
Instruction & Operations Formula The Coordinating Board receives certified data from the institutions by funding area and instructional level. The Legislative Budget Board computes a base rate to be used, according to how much money the legislature makes available for higher education. This base rate is used in a matrix to calculate the funding for each SCH in each discipline and level (Continued)
Instruction & Operations Formula2004-2005 matrix excerpt(base rate: $51.25) Teaching Experience Supplement: An additional weight of 10% is added to lower & upper division SCHs taught by tenured & tenure-track faculty.
Infrastructure Formula • Driven by the predicted square feet for E&G space produced by the Space Projection Model. • Looks at an institution’s space needs in five categories • TEACHING(level and program areas of funded SCHs) • LIBRARY(# of faculty, students, programs, and holdings) • RESEARCH(Research Expenditures and SCHs) • OFFICE (# of faculty, non-faculty, & current fund E&G expenditures) • SUPPORT SPACE(% of other factors, 9% in ’02)
Tuition Revenue Projects • One of few items that can be influenced by legislators • The Coordinating Board rates the requested projects • Excellent • Desirable • Fair • Questionable
HEAF • Established in 1984 • Allocations started in 1986 • Originally earmarked $100M; currently $175M is earmarked • To acquire land, construct & rehabilitate bldgs, purchase equipment, library materials, retire debt (not > 50%)
HEAF (Cont’d) • Four Parts: • Space Deficit • Condition of Facilities • Complexity • Set-Asides (Healths, TSTC, TSU)
