South Carolina: Appropriations
• South Carolina has cut higher-education by 45+% in recent
years
• South Carolina has implemented a 20% budget reduction over
the last three years and is still facing a $1 billion budget shortfall1
• South Carolina is one of six states facing a budget shortfall that
equals or exceeds the state’s higher education expenditures2
• If South Carolina eliminated all state government except
education and Medicaid, the state would still face a budget
deficit 2
• State Medicaid payments and balance sheet obligations are
expected to continue driving out the “discretionary” budget
priorities (like higher education)

Huron Consulting
• Huron participated in nearly 100 meetings and worked with over
35 MUSC stakeholders to gain an understanding of the
institution’s financial goals and objectives
• Consensus was identified for a model that is:
– Governed by the principles adopted by the Funds Flow
Committee
– Incentive Based

Incentive-based: Strengths
•
Focus attention on revenues and revenue development
•
Fosters entrepreneurship and rewards departmental efforts
•
Matches revenues to costs, providing understanding of the
internal economy
•
Facilitates broader campus participation in decision-making
•
Aligns academic authority with budgetary responsibility
•
Encourages efficient and competitive administrative services
•
Quantifies and expresses the strategic plan, often through the
rationale for central strategic fund

MUSC Specific Advantages for the New System
 Tuition and Fees: Distribution of all Academic Charges to
Colleges will dramatically increase College’s ability to price
strategically and plan for the future
 Academic Programs: Alignment of program revenues with
costs enables cost benefit analysis, prompting critical
discussions about program economic viability relative to
academic priority
 Indirect Cost Recovery: Full allocation of indirect costs and
attendant recoveries promotes informed negotiation with
sponsors and informed decisions to accept/decline grants
 Expense Controls: Deans will have the ability to more directly
impact their College’s cost structures and will have full
incentives to control costs
