17/18 Budget Update - September 11, 2017 University Senate 1 1
Overview 1. The University is facing significant fiscal challenges not only for the next budget year but for the next several years. 2. This will require difficult actions to keep costs under control and it will limit our ability to fund new initiatives. 3. Most of these factors are beyond our direct control. 4. The end of the SUNY 2020 program has put a significant strain on our ability to fund operations. 5. The lack of State funding to cover negotiated salary increases only exacerbates the problems we face. 6. The maintenance of effort agreement between NYS and SUNY ensures that our funding will be kept flat (in terms of dollars) for 17/18, - 7. A slowdown in the growth of research dollars has led to a rapid depletion of IDC dollars available to fill budget gaps. 8. The Excelsior program passed this year as part of the State budget will have positive benefit for our students and their families but at this point an uncertain impact on our finances. 9. At $200, the new predictable tuition plan is $100 less per student than with SUNY 2020; Excelsior recipients will not pay these increases for four years. 2
