The UAF FY10 Pull-Back
 Transfer of funds within UAF
 For PBB reallocations, program level and central
obligations
 Unfunded obligations resulted from insufficient
NGF revenue from FY05 – FY09
 Eliminated vacant positions, reduced staff, limited
graduate student support, reduced travel and
other commodities and supplies
 Used one-time reserves and increased NGF
revenue (tuition, research grants, gifts)

Entering FY11 in Sound Fiscal Condition
 Units maintained prudent reserves from FY10 to bridge
the pull-back actions
 Central pull-back solidified working capital for priorities:
life sciences, energy, one-stop
 Addressed central and program level deficits
 Units recognize requirement for NGF: tuition, ICR,
grants and contracts, private giving
 Administrative review process in place; Academic &
research review process starts in the Fall
 Enrollment is increasing
 Research is maintaining ( ARRA, life sciences, energyengineering) and ICR rate likely to increase

Operating Budget Request Dilemma
?
?
?
?
 Some funding priorities probably won’t win
legislative support.
 High Performance Computing
 Biomedical Research positions in Virology and Immunology
(INBRE)
 Successful past requests had broad community or
business leader support: Cooperative Extension,
Engineering
 Request based on need or political support?
