Identify Activity That Will Require
Augmentation in FY 2001-02
The Division requests
$500,000 in permanent funding for instructional support.
With the university nearing impaction, it is critical that
base budget support be provided to academic departments
to meet known and recognizable costs. This request is the
division’s highest priority for permanent funding.
College Operating
Expense - $400,000
The Division of Academic
Affairs has been on a multi-year plan to incrementally increase
college operating expense budgets. The stated goal is a
budget equal to $80 per FTES to support instructional supplies
for classes, laboratories, and studios; office supplies;
repairs; and small equipment. Below are listed the 2000-2001
base budgets for each college and the percentage of this
funding compared to the total college budget:

In FY 2001-02, the amount
needed to reach our goal for a more adequate operating expense
budget would be $1,920,000 (24,000 FTES x $80). As our current
operating expense base is $1,271,279, this would mean an
increase of $648,721 is required under the formula. Recognizing
that there are other critical division needs, the Deans
request that RPP continue to provide support to the multi-year
plan by reauthorizing $50,000 in non-base funds provided
in FY 2000-01, making these funds permanent, and increasing
the allocation for college OE by and additional $350,000.
Our proposed allocation of $400,000 for
FY 2001-02 would allow the division to make progress in
restoring operating expense in support of instruction.
