Structural Deficit
and Enrollment Impact
A Partnership for Thriving Communities
Structural Deficit
Current structural deficit is $3.0M
– In the 2013-15 biennium, the decision was made
to manage the budget reduction of $2.5M
centrally from increased enrollment growth
revenue.
– Enrollment declined in 2015 and is projected to
continue declining. The ability to cover the deficit
from tuition revenue has diminished.
