Issues that can be inferred from the data:
1. Despite increases in tuition significantly above the rate of inflation virtually universally, total inflation adjusted per-student funding at UNF for 2008-09 was still below the historical average by nearly 3% despite the significant drop in enrollment during that year, and below peak funding by 16%.
2. Total inflation adjusted E&G funding net of tuition is $1,600 below the historical average, over $4,000 below top funding, and only two-thirds of the total cost per student.
3. To attempt to achieve the same level of inflation adjusted funding as UNF's best year since 1984-85 (1987-88) we had 1,577 too many students in 2008-09, which is just one year removed from the worst overage of the entire time period (2,348 too many students).
4. Tuition's percentage of the total cost of educating each FTE student has risen by 2.5 times since 1984-85.
5. It should be apparent that the president's move to curtail enrollment was a step in the right direction to improve per student funding, but he did not go far enough (and as of 2009-10 we have moved back in the wrong direction)!
6. This analysis does not include the 15% increase in tuition for 2009-10, which likely takes the student percentage of cost coverage to 35% or more, given the decline in E&G dollars UNF received for 2009-10.
