Proposals for Revenue Share
• The following slides are a introduction to
several models for revenue share from
Summer Session to the academic departments
or divisions.
• Most have pros and cons, so need discussion.
• Other suggestions are welcome.

Existing Incentive - $5 per student-unit
Art 32 – 13 students x 5 units x $5 = 325
Bio 105 – 99 students x 5 units x $5 = 2475
Bio 100k LAB – 60 students x 2 units x $5 = 600
Lit 190A – 12 students x 5 units x $5 = 300
Math 11A – 32 students x 5 units x $5 = 800
Music 80V – 56 students x 5 units x $5 = 1400
Phil 14 – 62 students x 2 units x $5 = 620
Psych 1 – 84 students x 5 units x $5 = 2100
Option 1 - $10 per student-unit
Art 32 – 13 students x 5 units x $10 = 650
Bio 105 – 99 students x 5 units x $10 = 4950
Bio 100k LAB – 60 students x 2 units x $10 = 1200
Lit 190A – 12 students x 5 units x $10 = 600
Math 11A – 32 students x 5 units x $10 = 1600
Music 80V – 56 students x 5 units x $10 = 2800
Phil 14 – 62 students x 2 units x $10 = 1240
Psych 1 – 84 students x 5 units x $10 = 4200
Option 2 – percent to division in
proportion to percent of units
With a revenue share of $300,000*:
Arts – 16% of units - $48,000
Engineering – 9% of units - $27,000
Humanities – 18% of units - $54,000
PB Science – 18% of units - $54,000
Soc Science – 37% of units - $111,000
*Used for example - this amount could be changed.
CON: Doesn’t assess quality or capacity or needs.
Option 3 – percent to division in
proportion to percent of enrollments
With a revenue share of $300,000*:
Arts – 11% of enrollments - $33,000
Engineering – 12% - $36,000
Humanities – 12% - $36,000
PB Science – 28% - $84,000
Soc Science – 35% - $105,000
*Used for example - this amount could be changed.
Option 4 – courses that exceed their
allocation receive no revenue share
• $11,227 allocated per course
• That’s the 2012 instructional budget divided by
number of courses offered
• Each course is evaluated separately
• Course cost – $11,227
– If positive, allocation exceeded. Not eligible for
revenue share to department.
– If negative, allocation unmet, revenue is shared.
[35 of our 200+ courses from 2012 exceeded this allocation]
[Almost half of those were labs]
Option 5 – departments who exceed
allocation receive no revenue share
• $11,227 allocated per course
• That’s the 2012 instructional budget divided by
number of courses offered
• $11,227 times number of classes
• Sum of departments’ course costs – allocation
– If positive, revenue shared.
– If negative (exceeded allocation), no revenue shared.
[Only four departments from 2012 exceeded this allocation:
AMS, BIOL, CHEM, and PHYS – our highest lab-offering departments]
Option 6 – revenue share
commensurate with enrollment
$X allocated per student-credit-hour, at rate based
on total enrollment
Example:
• $20 per student times units, for courses with
large enrollments (i.e. 70+)
• $15 per student times units, for courses with
medium enrollments (i.e. 31-69)
• $10 per student times units, for courses with
small enrollments (i.e. 10-30)
Option 6 (using models)
• $20 per student times units for large (i.e. 70+)
• $15 per student times units for medium (i.e. 31-69)
• $10 per student times units for small (i.e. 10-30)
Art 32 – 13 students x 5 units x $10 = 650
Bio 105 – 99 students x 5 units x $20 = 9900
Bio 100k LAB – 60 students x 2 units x $15 = 1800
Lit 190A – 12 students x 5 units x $10 = 600
Math 11A – 32 students x 5 units x $15 = 2400
Music 80V – 56 students x 5 units x $15 = 4200
Phil 14 – 62 students x 2 units x $16 = 1984
Psych 1 – 84 students x 5 units x $20 = 8400
Option 7 – Zero Based
Budgeted to cover all course expenses.
That’s it.
We launch the courses, cover all costs, then
there’s no revenue share returned to
departments. All revenue to Central Campus.
Option 8 – Values Incentivized
• $5 per student-unit flat rate
