Identify Activity That Will Require
Augmentation in FY 2001-02
Communications - $100,000
The division requests
a $100,000 allocation for telephone and postage to be distributed
to colleges and support units. While every effort has been
made to contain costs, the projected deficit in FY 2001-02
is anticipated to be $150,000.
Some of the deficit
is attributable to workload increases and shouldbe supported
from funds provided in the workload model. However,a major
factor for the increase is attributable to the growth in
faculty hires. Between fiscal years 1997-98 to 2000-01,
the FTEF increased by 290.77. Assuming a modest cost model
of $30 per FTEF ($22 phone, $5 usage, and $3 postage per
month), the increased cost for 290.77 FTEFs is $104,677.
An increased communications allocation of $100,000 will
allow the division to appropriately utilize its resources
rather than transferring funds to cover deficits at year
end.
