Budget Update Senate Meeting April 17, 2008
Latest News • UBAC provides recommendation to President by which structural deficit (extant and expected) is erased with a 3.4% cut to University’s baseline budget. • Recommended cut for AA is 3.5% • President and Cabinet are reviewing rec.; likely will approve, at least pending May Revise • Based on this, I have asked the deans to reduce by half the funds to be cut from their budgets and to place the savings back in the schedule immediately. • Deans have discretion in the matter of replacement with emphasis on maximization of enrollment. • Outcome: For 2008-09, something between 3.5 and 7%, could well be 4.5%
Assumptions Still Operative • Duration of budget crunch: 2-3 years (at least) • State revenue shortfall of $15-$20 billion, 08-09 • End of crunch: no $ restoration; new enrollment $ only
“New” Money Under New Enrollment Formula 1000 Additional FTES @$3,400 per FTES to AA = $3.4 million • Instructional costs at current rate and distribution of students across colleges ($2 million) = $1.4 million for priorities/investments (including additional faculty to teach new students)
Focus on “Carried Forward” Funds “Baseline Funds” (Ongoing, renewed yearly, subject to state cuts) Types: Committed (e.g., salaries): colleges, library, AA units Multiple-year “One-Time” (e.g., CTL) Reserve (produce “carry-forward”) “Carried-Forward” (Unspent baseline funds from previous year (s), originally produced by not spending a % of baseline) At risk: may be swept Not renewable Important: Not rainy-day funds but discretionary OE
Seeking Balance Preserve Enrollment (risk: drop in student course load via reduced sections, drop in FTES) Preserve “Necessities” (assigned time, OE, fac. dev. etc.) (risk: save all enrollment, gut all else) Timeframe: 1 year, 2 years, 3 years? (risk: spend all carried forward funds to plug holes in year 1; fall off cliff in year 2)
