SUMMARY OF ACADEMIC AFFAIRS BUDGET DATA
FOR 2005-06 AND PROJECTIONS FOR 2006-07 |
| |
Joann Campbell provided our committee with both summary data from 2005-06 as well as preliminary planning data for 2006-07. Below are our assessments of these figures along with a snapshot of the pertinent data. |

1. |
The total budget for academic affairs exclusive of salaries (except inclusive of summer school salaries) for 2004-05 was $13,116,288. In 2005-06 this same category of the budget rose to $15,010,571, or by 14.44%. |

This positive news is somewhat mitigated by concerns for the summer budget for 2006. Presently there is a nearly $700,000 shortfall in funding for this year’s summer school. Joann Campbell indicated that there is a possible source for solving this shortfall from mid-year budget funds that are one-time dollars. |

The University Budget Committee has outlined a scenario to curtail enrollment growth for 2006-07 to try to recover some of the 883 full time equivalent students (FTE) that are presently funded by the state at $0. The University Budget Committee has made projections based on allowing 2006-07 total FTE to only rise from 9,400 to 9,650. To put this in perspective, enrollment growth from 2004-05 to 2005-06 was 651 FTE or a 7.45% increase. The proposed change would raise enrollment by only 250 FTE, or 2.66%. |

In the table below, you can see what this will mean for requirements for new faculty by College for 2006-07 under the assumption of 9,650 FTE and also taking into account the unfunded students. Note that the methodology follows the process that Academic Affairs has used in the past that assumes that 25% of the new positions will be filled by part-time faculty. |
