BOARD OF TRUSTEES BUDGET WORKSHOP May 23, 2013
BUDGET SUMMARY Overall the recurring budget increased $9.1 million. This assumes a 1.7% tuition increase for in-state undergraduate and graduate students. In addition, this number is based on 10,600 FTE. We are projecting 10,300 FTE. As a result, the budget has a reserve in case of no tuition increase and/or enrollment shortfall.
BUDGET SUMMARY Although we have additional recurring dollars, the carry- forward amount used to pay for non-recurring priorities is only $7.0 million, compared to $9.0 million last year. Total general revenue and lottery for 2013/2014 is $76.5 million, compared to $90.8 million in 2007/2008. Without including property operation and maintenance dollars, general revenue and lottery for 2013/2014 was $59.0 million, compared to $79.2 million in 2007/2008 .
BUDGET SUMMARY We increased recurring and non-recurring reserves to $4.0 million (or 2.8%) in case of call-backs this year, or additional budget reductions next year. Adding in the reserves, should tuition increases occur, and for enrollment shortfall, the overall reserve is 4.6% of the operating budget. Of the total educational & general budget, 79.0% of the budget is salaries, benefits and OPS; 4.7% is utilities; and the remaining 16.3% is operating expenses.
BUDGET PROCESS In 2012-2013: Each division reviewed their operations to determine expenses that could be reduced. A controlled spending committee continued to meet to review spending throughout the year and look for methods to create greater efficiencies. The university had purchasing savings of $470K during the first 3 quarters of this fiscal year, due to sourcing and contracting by the Purchasing Department. The vacancy pool committee continued its review process.
