2. Budget Gap Cut in Tax Dollar Support $(8,198,000) Tuition Increase Offset 3,466,000 Funding Shortfall $(4,732,000)
3. Structural Deficit (000) Budget Gap $(4,732,000) Transfer of 11 Advancement FTE to State Funding ( 898,000) Faculty Equity Funding (1,200,000) Adjuncts & Library Materials ( 147,000) TOTAL DEFICIT $(6,977,000)
5. State Operations BudgetFrom 2007-8 to 2010-11 We saw a decrease of $190,900!!! Our collective bargaining costs increased $6,592,000 over that period. State tax dollar support decreased from 42% of our State purpose budget to 34%.
10. This is NOT sustainable Cannot rely on over $3 million of one-time cash each year. SUTRA overflow revenues are not assured. Cannot sustain a 6.6% PSR savings factor keeping over 35 positions vacant. NACUBO recommends 20% OTPS, we are currently at 8%.
11. Retirements 36 NYS Early Retirement Incentive (classified staff) $1.7 million 7 Geneseo retirement incentive (UUP) 3 Geneseo phased retirement (faculty) 18 Potential NYS retirements (UUP/Mgt.) $1.6 million
12. This is NOT sustainable Even if we could leave all retirement positions vacant, we would gain $3.3 million, leaving $3.4 million unmet need. We have done across-the-board cuts and targeted cuts. Continuing across-the-board cuts just further weakens the institution. How do we move forward and preserve excellence?
13. RESPONSE TO DEFICITOne- Time Actions Vacancy Control (Currently 6.6%) Supplies and Equipment Cuts Fund expenses from reserve funds
14. Possible Base Actions Maximum use of retirement savings Broad Consultation Strategic Planning Group Budget Advisory Committee College Council Monthly Forums Program Curtailment
15. Considerations for Curtailment Mission Relatedness Quality Cost Enrollment Trends Interrelatedness with other Programs Sustainability Potential Fund Raising Implications
16. Where are we now? Continuing to analyze data Continuing consultation process Looking across entire college for sources of significant savings Considering whether it is necessary to curtail one or more programs (incl. degree programs)
