Sustainability
Goal: The USF COPH will develop and maintain

environment that will ensure the sustainability of
the College through 2022 and beyond
Sustainability
Budget Overview
• FY 2014-15 represents year two of USF’s three
year plan to address its budget issues
• Things are better but we still have budget
rules driven by the Y2 plan
– Still have an E&G/CF spending cap
– No restrictions on overhead funds and an increase
in F&A return over prior years
– Prior year cash in AO funds still frozen except for
self-funded programs, student fee accounts like
ETA
Sustainability
Budget Update
• COPH requested and received additional
budget authority for this year.
– Total E&G authority of $20,685,360
– Reflects an increase of $3.8M over last year
• Additional budget requested was to support
faculty recruitments, student support,
facilities enhancements, and other
operational needs

Base Budget vs Spending Cap
• While we have a spending cap, the total
budget is a combination of base budget,
tuition revenue, and cash reserves
– Spending Cap: $20,685,360
– Base E&G Budget: $13,628,221
– Delta: $7,057,139
Sustainability
Base Budget vs Spending Cap
• This means we are accessing $7M of our cash,
including a combination of prior year funds we
couldn’t spend as well as current year tuition
collections
• This model is moving us to spending what we
generate annually, rather than the year after
the tuition is generated
Sustainability
Performance-Based Funding
• As you know, the BOG now only allocates new
funds based on ten PBF metrics
– University Access Rate (Pell Grants)
– Academic Progress Rate (freshmen retention)
– FTIC 6-year Graduation Rate
– % Bachelor’s Degrees without Excess Hours
– Number of Postdoctoral Appointees
Sustainability
Performance-Based Funding
• ten PBF metrics continued….
– % Bachelor’s Grads Employed and or Continuing
Education 1-year post-graduation
– Median average full-time wages of bachelor’s
grads employed in Florida 1-year post-graduation
– Bachelor’s Degrees Awarded in Areas of Strategic
Emphasis
– Graduate Degrees Awarded in Areas of Strategic
Emphasis
– Average cost of undergraduate degrees to the
Institution
Sustainability
Budget Update
• The increase in budget this year has allowed
us to address many of our facility needs
– You are sitting in our newly remodeled auditorium
– We upgraded the computer labs
– We will begin renovating the bathrooms in the
COPH building later this fall
– We will be updating the AV equipment in our
classrooms
– We will be assessing other facility needs to ensure
we offer the best environment for teaching and
research possible
Sustainability
Faculty Recruitments
• With the “unfreezing” of the majority of our
resources, we were allowed to recruit new
faculty
• Searches launched last year in EPB and HPM
well underway now
• In addition, College leadership reviewed
proposals from departments for new faculty

• Criteria based on department and college
strategic goals for teaching and research
Sustainability
