Page 12 Download HTML

2015-16 KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY ANNUAL BUDGET MAY 29, 2015 RECOMMENDATION

That the Kentucky State University (“KSU”) Board of Regents adopt the FY 15 Housing and Board Fee Schedule Resolution as set forth in Attachment A (page 3) and adopt the FY 15-16 budget resolution ( Attachment B, page 6) regarding the 2015-16 Annual Budget for the Kentucky State University. This budget and its provisions will be effective July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

Rationale

The Housing and Board Fee Schedule sets fees for FY 16 at the same level as FY 15 with no increases. (Attachment A, page 4)

The annual budget ( Attachment C, pages 8-9) directs the use of financial resources available to KSU to help achieve the mission and vision of KSU. This budget places emphasis and the highest priority on students and the effective and efficient use of available resources.

The 2015-16 KSU budget will:

Fund fixed cost increases in current employee benefit programs.

Fund fixed cost increases in utilities and facility insurance.

Fund the essential services of the University and serve as a platform for growth.

This recommended budget is supported by the KSU President's Cabinet.

The proposed resolution ( Attachment B, page 6) provides for adequate fiscal control and oversight by the KSU Board of Regents consistent with common practice within postsecondary education institutions. At the same time, the resolution provides a reasonable amount of discretion to the KSU President and establishes limits and thresholds that the President cannot exceed without the expressed consent of the Board.

The proposed budget and its provisions will be effective for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2015 and ending June 30, 2016.

Background

KRS 164.350 directs the KSU Board of Regents, upon recommendation of the KSU President to adopt an allocation process for distributing funds appropriated to KSU by the General Assembly. Also, KRS 164.350 directs the Board of Regents to assure that the budget planning and implementation processes are consistent with the adopted strategic agenda, the biennial budget, and the mission of KSU.

A capital construction project with a scope greater than $600,000 must have the prior approval of the Board of Regents and be contained in the Biennial Legislative Appropriations Act in accordance with KRS Chapter 45.

Additionally, every position vacant in the University at that time was eliminated regardless of its criticality to the University’s operations. Tuition revenue was based on enrollments of 2,476 for Fall 2014 and 2,476 for Spring 2015. Fees and tuition revenue totaled $20,205,500 in the FY 15 proposed budget. With this as the baseline for operations, KSU entered FY 2014-15.

The FY 15 budget enrollment projections were not realized. Fall 2014 enrollment was 1,895 and spring 2015 enrollment was 2,050. That drop in enrollment, the need to fill critical positions, carrying large student receivables and establishing reserves for student receivables drove a September 2014 current year operating deficit of Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000). With that as the back drop, KSU has operated through FY 15 to arrive at this proposed budget for FY 16.

FY 16 PROPOSED BUDGET

REVENUE

FY 16 revenue is comprised, in part, of state appropriations of $23,429,600. Tuition and mandatory fees revenue is based on KSU holding enrollment flat to FY 15 actual enrollments with a five percent (5%) increase in all tuition rates (netting $680,000). The Destiny and Legacy programs are discontinued for new students. Students enrolled under these programs with continuous enrollment will have the benefit of those rates throughout their KSU enrollment. We have eliminated the category of “Other Sources” electing to show all elements of this line item. Other Sources are now non-mandatory fees ($843,100), employee parking ($37,100), interest income ($110,300) and indirect cost recovery ($395,300). The projected FY 16 Total University Revenue is $41,324,700 compared to FY 15 Total University Revenue of $47,317,100.

FY 15 Auxiliary Enterprises Revenue was $8,187,500 with FY 16 projected Auxiliary Enterprises Revenue at $4,543,100.

Total Revenue for FY 15 was $53,504,600 and for FY 16 is $45,867,800, a 14% reduction.

For contingency purposes, but not included in the proposed FY 16 budget, plans have been developed for a ten percent (10%) headcount reduction in each function should the FY 16 projected enrollment fall short. Thus, with any unexpected shortages in revenue, there is a plan to keep the budget balanced.

EXPENDITURES

The University’s proposed FY 16 Budget is based on several guiding principles, the primary one being that the FY 16 budget be balanced utilizing with-in year generated funds. To achieve that balanced budget, a zero-based budget approach was used. Each and every position within the University had to be justified before being placed in the budget. All past expenditures for, and new requests for, capital items, computer equipment, computer software, recruitment, computer/data processing, institutional dues and memberships, insurance, licenses and permits, contracts (maintenance and otherwise), other and agreements were removed from individual accounts and placed in a category called “University General.” All FY 16 requests for these items will flow through the University General account to ensure that only necessary and essential purchases are made. This account will also be used to balance the budget when other in-year eliminations do not balance the budget.

To drive the strategic direction of the institution, the following strategic decisions by areas were made -

Academic Affairs

Given our mixed results with Academics with Attitude and the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars, we have decided to go with an accelerated learning classes model. Results from pilot classes over the fall and spring have yielded good results. This decision has allowed for the elimination of developmental classes in Math and English - eliminating nine total positions in developmental education. Four additional positions in Literature, Language and Philosophy were eliminated due to this change.

Deleted all funds for consultants.

Defined job duties and responsibilities for coordinators and chairpersons are established. This will allow several coordinator positions to be eliminated and will reduce release time for certain chairpersons.

The position of Dean in all colleges was eliminated and a Dean of the University was added. Five positions were eliminated and one added. All chairs will now report into the Dean of the University. The Dean of the University will report to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. All deans' offices were eliminated with personnel moved to other positions and office operating expenses eliminated.

The budget for adjuncts/overload has been removed from Academic Affairs to help drive a behavior toward full teaching loads and complete utilization of all full-time faculty members. Some adjuncts will be used, but each will require justification and prior approval.

Moved one faculty position from Education to Psychology. Elevated Chi Shen to Chair, Computer Science. Eliminated one position in Political Science. Added a new student staff writer position.

One full-time faculty member in Art will become part-time.

Eliminated one library assistant position.

Added funding and positions to implement and supplement accelerated learning courses.

Land Grant

Budgeted $422,000. Will change once positions are reorganized to make KSU positions consistent with how other land grant institutions handle non-teaching positions with faculty rank being tenure-track.

Student Affairs

Reduced amount budgeted for Green to Gold.

External Relations and Development

Moved facilities, maintenance and custodial out of this category.

Facilities

Light equipment operator position is eliminated.

Two housekeeping supervisors eliminated.

One stationary fireman eliminated.

Eliminated one electrician position.

One administrative assistant position eliminated.

Deleted one senior plumber position.

Business Affairs

Purchasing and Payroll will now share an administrative assistant, eliminating one position.

Further efforts to reduce sourcing/procurement costs continue as we seek to get maximum

benefit for each dollar spent, including buying off federal procurement contracts.

In Accounts Payable moving one full-time position to part-time.

In Human Resources, part-time investigator position is eliminated.

One position in Budget Planning and Development is eliminated.

Eliminated Assistant Vice President position.

President's Area

Deleted student assistant.

Athletics

$500,000 reduction to total FY 15 budget plus 10% reduction in FY 15 budgeted scholarship amount (with no reduction in women's athletics).

Information Technology

Moved one part-time network technician to full-time. Eliminated one part-time network technician. Eliminated business analyst position.

University Police

Budgeted to bring complement to planned strength.

Scholarships

Reduced the scholarship amount by ten percent (10%) from the amount budgeted in FY 15.

Auxillary Enterprises

No increase in fees for housing and board.

Additional Expenses

Increased reserve amount for bad debt.

CONCLUSION

With all of the additions, deletions, and strategic decisions made, presented is a balanced KSU budget for FY 16.
