Links to Budget
• Base budget minimally tied to enrollment
through adjunct allocation
• Budget supplemented in a major way
through tuition revenue in excess of target
December 2, 2004
Faculty Senate Presentation
Adjunct Budget Allocation
• ISM used to determine target faculty size
(Fall and Spring 2002-03 enrollments)
• Number of actual faculty subtracted to
determine target faculty size
• Difference in number of faculty converted
to dollars
• Amount added to base budget as adjunct
allocation
December 2, 2004
Faculty Senate Presentation
Determination of Excess Tuition
• Based on actual collections (Fall, Spring,
Summer)
• Originally a weighted average
• Changed by capping increases/decreases
• Now adjusted as needed to cover shortfalls

Unintended Consequences

decline
• MBA demand weakened in general

disproportionate impact on nonresidents and
graduate students
