University of ArkansasFY06 & FY07 Finances Faculty Senate March 8, 2006
Ordinary folk (parents, the public, university students, staff & faculty, etc.) at right after 20 minutes of trying to understand the in’s and out’s of university financial operations (after The Scream by Edvard Munch below)
FY06 Financial Issues • E&G utility budgets are less than projected expenditures by $1.75 million. With a $660K reserve, the deficit carried forward to FY07 is expected to be $1.09 million. • Annual expenditures of about $3 million for new faculty start-up and matching funds for grants are NOT in the FY06 budget. • Uncommitted & unrestricted year-end balances that are used to supplement inadequate contingencies are decreasing as a result of the carry-forward policy. Thus, it is harder to find funds for activities, like start-ups & matches, that the university cannot decide to stop doing.
FY07 Revenues • State Appropriations • FY06 $104,180,511 • FY07 • RSA “A” $94,980,287 • RSA “B” $6,861,071 • RSA Total $101,841,358 • EETF (9/2/05) $8,338,715 • FY07 $110,180,073 • FY07 Increase $5,999,562 • FY06 SSCH Growth in FY06 Tuition Dollars $5,064,106 • Additional Revenue from Tuition Rate Increase $658K/ (% of increase)
FY07 Revenues Continued • FY07 Projected Enrollment Increases • Undergraduate 6.3% • Graduate 5.1% • Law (0.7%) • Revenue Growth $5 million • Remaining Unrestricted & Undesignated Revenue Adjustment (primarily to reduce expected earnings on cash management) ($267K) • Generally positive financial picture for FY07 though it is doubtful that there will be sufficient funding to do “all good things that should be done”.
Unrestricted but Dedicated Fee Revenues • Mandatory fees are part of the cost of education • Student initiated new mandatory fees: • Readership Fee • Concert Fee • Institutionally initiated fees such as: • Teaching Enhancement & Laboratory Equipment Fee (varies by College or School) has provided increased teaching support to offset the lack of departmental maintenance increases • Mandatory fees are not available for general budget considerations.

FY07 Budget • Have to budget those expenditures not previously budgeted but for activities for which the institution does not or cannot made the decision to quit doing. • Classified pay plan requires $896K • GA stipend increases cost $63K/(% of increase) • N/C Non-faculty salary increases cost $272K/(% of increase) • Faculty salary increases cost $701K/(% of increase) • Faculty promotion increases $318K • Utility E&G budget increase for FY07 cost only is $1.48 million • Additional funding for faculty positions under review
General Financial Challenges • Diversity enhancements • Student centered • Full formula funding • Budgeting revenue enhancements (i.e., investments vs. improvements; e.g. SSCH growth and grants & contracts with indirect costs) • Capital needs • Need-based scholarships • Balance need for flexibility with demonstrating full and effective use of funding • Faculty, GA, & Staff salary improvement • Base support for activities made possible by development • Unrelated business & private sector competition • Public sense that universities are not controlling costs • Deferred maintenance & renovations to modernize “Universities share one characteristic with compulsive gamblers and exiled royalty; there is never enough money to satisfy their desires.” —Derek Bok (1930- ) President, Harvard University (1971-1991)
