AACC’s 2017 Priorities • Value Proposition: Economic opportunity, social mobility, and inclusiveness. • Has the access problem been solved? Should a greater emphasis be placed on quality and completion?
AACC’s 2017 Priorities • Pell Grant Program • Need for Pell Grant funding for short-term programs (less than 600 hours or two-thirds of an academic year). • Broadening of the Pell Grant program to include a lifetime limit of 14 semesters (or its full-time equivalent) of eligibility, rather than the current 12. Source:American Association of Community Colleges. (2017). 2017 and community colleges.
AACC’s 2017 Priorities • Partnership Programs • A one-time, $1.5 billion, two-year community college and industry partnerships programs that engages business and industry in expanding, modernizing, and improving community colleges’ ability to educate the workforce for in-demand jobs. • Inclusion of business and industry in curriculum and resource development. • Public-private partnerships.
AACC’s 2017 Priorities • Measurement • Voluntary Framework of Accountability, supporting a 6-year graduation rate. • Need for a national unit record data system to track students to employment, linked to the federal wage data regulations.
AACC’s 2017 Priorities • Voluntary Framework of Accountability • “How can industry certifications be integrated into a federal accountability framework, given that they are not comprehensive across all programs and simply not relevant to many programs….?”
AACC’s 2017 Priorities • Voluntary Framework of Accountability • “What is the “value added” sought for in postsecondary programs? What sort of return on investment, if one decided that was an appropriate metric, would justify public support?”

“A lot of community colleges are designed as though they could be traditional institutions for higher education, where students are going to school full-time, and will start immediately after high school, and will go straight through to graduate,” McClenney said. “In fact, one in six graduates fits that description.” Source:Wilts, A.

FINANCE UPDATE Ms. Lisa Ridpath
Overview • Fund Accounting Concept • College Financial Environment • Program Structure • Funding Sources • Budget Environments • External vs. Internal • Budget Process Next Steps • How is the “Pie” Sliced?
Accounting concepts • Fund Accounting • Funding is earmarked for a particular purpose • Closely links resources with reasons for spending (e.g. Operating, Capital, ETF, Perkins, Grants, etc.) • Funds generated for a particular purpose need to be used for that purpose • “All Money is Not Green” • Emphasizes Accountability and Transparency
Major Programmatic Structure • Primary mission - Instruction, Workforce & Public Service • Other programs are designed to support needs derived from these operations.
Internal Budget Process • Environment Scan – Identifies Projected Resource • Resources – Continuing Expenses – Mandatory Expenses = Resource Availability or Shortfall • Budget Call • Solicit funding requests, based upon resource availability • Budget Review and Budget Hearings • Review of funding requests by the FAS and the Executive Team • External Decisions • Governor and General Assembly action to finalize state budget • Tuition and fee rates approved by the State Board of Community Colleges • Final Budget • Budget balanced with projected resources to enter into AIS for July 1st fiscal year start • Budget finalized in September based upon actual Fall enrollment
