Use of Restricted Funds to Operate
34
ULM currently uses restricted funds to offset costs typically supported by the operating fund. Some
examples are:




Faculty and Staff Salaries
Adjustment of Faculty Salaries to Market Levels
Supporting Online Courses
Utilities and Maintenance
In FY 2014:

42% ($1.44 Million) of the total College of Health Sciences personnel costs are
funded from restricted accounts

$4.62 Million is budgeted from restricted funds to offset the operating fund
This practice is not sustainable!
