14. Current Financial Position • Five years from FY2008-09 through FY2012-13 represented period of unprecedented campus capital investment – over $220M invested • Capital investment contributed to stabilizing/growing enrollment in challenging competitive environment, but as expected, additional borrowing and use of reserves adversely impacted Eastern’s financial position and Balance Sheet • FY2008-09FY2012-13 • Long Term Debt $ 146M $ 240M • Unrestricted Net Assets $ 54M $ 25M • Moody’s (June 2013) – rating affirmed • Standard & Poor’s (September 2013) – rating downgraded • Higher Learning Commission (HLC) (August 2013) – Notification of potential Financial Panel review • Financial Challenge • Improve financial position and balance sheet while at the same time increase ongoing funding for capital investments to at least $15M annually

21. Employee Total Compensation Changes • The budget includes the following total compensation changes during the next fiscal year for non-bargained-for employees (AP, AC, CA, AH classifications): • Retirement Plan • Effective November 1, 2014, the EMU contribution for employees hired prior to January 1, 2013 will be 9%; for employees hired on or after January 1, 2013, the EMU contribution will be 5% and if the employee contributes 4%, EMU will match that 4% (maximum EMU contribution of 9%) • Health Care Cost Sharing • Effective January 1, 2015, employee cost sharing of health care costs will be increased from approximately 9% to 12% • Merit Increase • The budget includes a 2% merit pool effective November 1, 2014 • Human Resources will be scheduling information sessions in the month of July including group and individual sessions

22. Summary and Look Ahead • Improving Eastern’s financial position is a high priority that will take time to fully achieve. We are in a highly competitive Higher Education market in Michigan and the pace of improvement in our financial position must be balanced with the University’s other program and capital needs. • The FY15 budget takes an important step in that direction. With more conservative revenue assumptions and budgeted surpluses, the probability is significantly higher of realizing surpluses and adding incrementally to our reserves. • Future University budgets will need to build on the progress made with the FY15 budget. Identifying and implementing both cost savings and revenue enhancements will be required – in either case, innovation will be essential. • -----------------------------------------------------------Comments……Questions?
