FTE Enrollment & Revenue • All indicators reflect that UM is on track to meet our projected enrollments, with an increased percentage of resident enrollment. • UM is making recruitment and retention a top priority after a decline in enrollment the past two years. • Fall 2013 shows a stabilization in the number of entering new students.
Expenditures per FTE • An increase in expenditures per FTE is a function of decreased enrollment and increased expenditures (pay plan and present law increase). • For FY14, the university reduced expenditures by over $8 million in order to balance the budget. This was done in a manner that preserved the instructional program, which can be seen on the next slide.
Faculty & Staff Ratios • UM is on target to reach the 18:1 goal for student FTE to contract faculty. • The underlying reason for the change in the student FTE to contract admin/pro and student FTE to classified employee is decreased enrollment. • UM refined its calculation to determine staff FTE counts. This refinement is reflected in FY13 actual and FY14 budgeted figures.
Forest & Conservation Experiment Station The station embedded within the UM College of Forestry and Conservation: • Provides independent research to sustain Montana’s forests and rivers from accelerating threats from wildfire, invasive species, and insect outbreaks. • Develops the workforce in Montana for forest restoration, wildland fire suppression, wildlife management, and resource protection. • Allows for a robust, nationally recognized research program that sustains over 150 graduate students. • Produces critical information for Montana landowners on water availability for agriculture and outdoor recreation, the integration of wildlife species protection with energy development, and the return of native plants to disturbed landscapes.
