Academic Affairs

1. Academic Affairs Presentation to the University Budget Committee April 8, 2005

2. FY 2004-05 Allocations • Enrollment Funding for Spring ‘05 Classes: • $850,000 (Base Budget Commitment) • Information Technology Services, Server Consolidation/Migration Plan: • $217,640 (One-Time Commitment) • Graduate Studies Recruitment and Marketing: • $27,100 (One-Time Commitment)

3. Enrollment Funding for Spring Classes • Funding to Colleges for Lecturer salaries and benefits came from a variety of sources: • In addition to the $850,000 received in the budget process, the Colleges used funds rolled forward from the previous year’s budget • Funds from Extended Education were also used

4. Funding Allocations to Colleges for Spring 05 Classes

5. Server Consolidation/Migration Plan • Funding received represents one-half of the first year funding of a five-year plan. Because of reduction and delay in funding, only part of the first year components of the plan could be completed

6. Graduate Recruitment • Notification was not received in time to utilize this funding in the current year, so we propose to carry the funds forward to use next year for the same purposes

7. General Fund State Base Budget Appropriation FY 04/05

8. Effects of 5.5% Reduction • The administrative side of Academic Affairs has been under-funded for some time compared to our peers as the following graph representing 2002/03 system expenditures illustrates:

10. Information Technology has also been under-funded as noted by the IT consultants who visited last year and reinforced by the graph below, which also represents 2002/03 system-wide expenditures:

11. Effects of 5.5% Reduction • Consequently, a 5.5% reduction will need to primarily come from the other cost centers in Academic Affairs: • Colleges • loss of lecturer positions leading to insufficient classes to meet target • Library • reduced library hours, materials, and unfilled library positions

12. Cost of Academic Instruction at HSU • On a cost per FTES basis, HSU is among the highest in the system • Looking at system data on the proportion of the budget spent on instruction, the situation is somewhat different as the following slide illustrates:

14. Why is HSU’s Cost/FTES High? • The following series of slides help to show the primary reason for the relatively high cost/FTES for HSU and how it compares with other CSU campuses:

15. Cost of CSU Programs

19. What About HSU’s Small Class Size? • Using 2002/03 data from US News & World Report, HSU is not an outlier with regard to class size compared with several other CSU campuses as the following slide illustrates:

21. The following slide provides some average class size data for the major modes of instruction offered by HSU:
