AGENDA ITEM NO. 9:
FUNDING FORMULA FOR THE
2015-17 BIENNIUM
Funding Formula Overview
1. 2-YR College Need-Based Funding Formula
updates
2. Technical Institutes Need-Based Funding
Formula updates
3. University Need-Based Funding Formula updates
4. Non-Formula Funding Recommendation updates
Funding Formula Components
Needs-based Elements – Two-Year Colleges
• Only changes for new biennium are inflationary
adjustments to tuition rates, faculty salary and student
services rates
Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) Faculty: Total number of FTE
faculty needed is calculated by assigning each SSCH generated
to one of four weighted categories.
General Education
Technical Education
Basic Skills
Allied Health
22 students / 660 SSCH
16 students / 480 SSCH
16 students / 480 SSCH
12 students / 360 SSCH
Funding Formula Components
Needs-based Elements – Two-Year Colleges
Faculty Salaries: The total FTE faculty is adjusted for part-time
faculty.
Institutions with < 3,000 FTE students
• Of the total FTE faculty, seventy (70) percent are considered full-time and
thirty (30) percent are considered part-time.
• Full-time salary is equal to the projected SREB average for 2015-17.
• Part-time salary is equal to fifty (50) percent of the calculated fulltime salary.
Funding Formula Components
Needs-based Elements – Two-Year Colleges
Institutions with >3,000 FTE students
• Of the total FTE faculty, fifty (50) percent are considered full-time and
fifty (50) percent are considered part-time.
• Full-time salary is equal to the projected SREB average for 2015-17.
• Part-time salary is equal to fifty (50) percent of the calculated fulltime salary.
Funding Formula Components
Needs-based Elements – Two-Year Colleges
Student Services Rates: Student Services is calculated based on
a variable rate per student using the mean of FTE students
and headcount. The updated rates are:
$772/student for the first 750 students
$548/student for the next 2,250 students
$340/student for all students over 3,000
Funding Formula Components
Needs-based Elements – Technical Institutes

16 students / 480 SSCH
16 students / 480 SSCH
12 students / 360 SSCH
Faculty Salaries: The total FTE faculty generated above is multiplied by the
average faculty salary for technical institutes in the SREB region.
Funding Formula Components
Needs-based Elements – Technical Institutes
Student Services Rates: Student Services is calculated based on
a variable rate per FTE. The updated rates are:
$150,000 flat amount for the first 200 FTE
$536/FTE for all FTE above 200
Funding Formula Components
Needs-based Elements – Four-Year Universities
•
Changes for new biennium include inflationary adjustments to tuition
rates, faculty salaries and to pursue a change in legislation to add a
fringe benefits component
This formula provides equal funding for similar levels and disciplines at each
university and determines the minimum level of funding needed for each
university.
Full-Time Equivalent Faculty:

Funding Formula Components
Needs-based Elements – Four-Year Universities
The total number of FTE faculty needed is determined by dividing the faculty
load factors into the SSCH enrollment matrix for each institution’s latest
enrollment. This determines for Arkansas the number of FTE faculty needed
at each of the three levels.
Faculty Salaries: Each institution receives the same faculty salary amount per
its SSCH in the four cost categories and at each level. Since the other
expenditure function computations are a percentage of faculty salaries all
institutions receive the same funding recommendation for the same kind of
SSCH.*
* The 2012-13 SREB faculty salary for each level is inflated to the 2015-17 biennium.
Funding Formula Components
Needs-based Elements – Four-Year Universities
Proposed Fringe Benefit Rate:
• ADHE staff in consultation with presidents & chancellors
recommend pursuing a change in legislation to add a fringe
benefits component to the university model.
• It is proposed that fringe benefits would be calculated at 8½%
- Current matching rate for social security, Medicare,
unemployment and worker’s compensation
Funding Formula Components
Needs-based Elements – Non-Formula
The recommendation for new funds for non-formula entities
will be developed using a nominal percentage for the continuing
level of programs plus programmatic justification for
enhancements and/or expansions.

This supplemental
graduation rate
calculation is different
from IPEDS graduation
rate. This cohort
includes: (1) first-time
entering students for
the entire academic year
(not just the fall term);
(2) both full-time and
part-time students; and
(3) tracks students for a
full ten (10) years.
Current 4-Year
University Graduation
Rates (IPEDS/ADHE)
are from 38.0%-40.8%
and for 2-Year Colleges
are from 17.9%-20.8%.
