1. Illinois Higher Education FY2014 Budget Recommendations IBHE Board Presentation February 5, 2013 Dr. Alan Phillips IBHE Presentation

2. FY 2014 Budget Context(State) • Pension and Medicaid costs are exceeding the rate of State revenue growth. • The State is currently experiencing a debt crisis (Current liabilities and the backlog of unpaid bills totals $8.5B). • The State is months behind in its payments to colleges and Universities. • Adequate financial aid funding for both MAP and Pell continues to be of concern. • Based on GOMB guidance, we anticipate additional funding reductions in FY 2014. (GOMB Guidance – 4.62%) • We still do not know the extent of any pension cost transfer. IBHE Presentation

3. FY 2014 Budget Context(Colleges & Universities) • State funding for higher education operations has declined steadily over the last 15 years. • There has been minimal funding for capital projects, to include renovation, remodeling, maintenance, and repair. • Unfunded state mandates and regulatory requirements undermine efficiency and productivity. • Illinois’ student financial aid system has been eroded at a time when low-income families have less ability to pay for college. • Institutions try to protect instruction, but are often forced to squeeze cost savings out of instruction and student support services. • The burden of financing a college education has increasingly fallen on students and families. IBHE Presentation

4. FY 2014 Budget Framework • We will continue to use the Step Level approach for the FY 2014 budget recommendations. • The FY 2014 budget recommendations will include a performance funding component. • The budget recommendations will support the goals of the Public Agenda. • Priority of funding is directed toward maintaining core capacity, deferred maintenance, MAP, and funding for grants.
