The meeting was called to order by the 2004-2005 committee chair,  Johanna Laird.  For the sake of continuity, the charge of the committee is given below along with the 2005-2006 membership and terms of service:

 

The purpose of this committee shall be to review the University's fiscal resources and to make recommendations regarding the utilization of these fiscal resources to the President's Administrative Council. The committee shall focus its efforts on the following activities: 

• becoming knowledgeable about the internal and external mandates that affect the allocation of the University's fiscal resources; 
• examining the University's plans and priorities in making recommendation regarding current and on going initiatives; 
• reviewing and commenting on the University's operational budget; 
• advising or recommending the disbursement of supplemental and discretionary funds as they become available; 
• providing input in the development of reports for the University of Maryland System and for the Maryland Higher Education Commission on the University's fiscal allocation plans and actions; and 
• reviewing the University's annual expenditures and providing an annual report to the Salisbury University Forum that summarizes fiscal activity for the year in meeting the University's mandates and priorities. 

The committee shall consist of the Vice President of Business and Finance (ex-officio and non-voting); five faculty serving three-year terms, three staff serving three-year terms; and two students serving one-year terms.

Meetings during the Fall, 2005 semester will be conducted as necessary on Fridays at 1:30.  Locations will be announced. 

 

A communication outline was developed during the summer that could serve to guide the schedule of meetings and activities for the committee.  Greig Mitchell looks to the committee for advice and guidance within the structure of this timing.  The committee also functions as a reporting mechanism.  In addition, Alan Selser was present to give the presentation given at the University Forum last week, September 20, 2005. http://www.salisbury.edu/admin/budget/budgetpres.htm

 

Slide 2 summarizes the FY 2005 sources of revenue by category.  Note that tuition and fees as a source of revenue is larger than the state appropriation.  No details or guidance are available on future tuition and fees changes.

 

Slide 3 summarizes the changes in revenue from FY 2005 to FY 2006 in dollars and percents.  The decrease noted in sales and services is artifactual, due to timing, rather than an actual drop for the year.

 

Slide 4 summarizes the total expenditures by program for 2005.

 

Slide 5 summarizes the FY 2005 state support unrestricted expensditures by program

 

Slide 6 summarizes changes in state support unrestricted allocations by category comparing FY 2005 and 2006.  Noteworthy are the increases in scholarship as well as plant operations.  Kevin Mann will be invited to the committee very soon. The University has joined a consortium of institutions whose goal is to decrease overall cost of electricity.

 

Slide 7 summarizes the change in state support unrestricted allocations and its distribution. 

 

At this point in the meeting, Jo Laird asked questions related to funding of contingent conversions required by the Board of Regents, funding of previously eliminated positions, and partial benefits for full-time nontenure track faculty.  In essence, the flow of the presentation was interrupted.  Thus, the remainder of the presentation will be given Friday, October 7 at 1:30.  In addition, the proposal of Dr. Frank Shipper will be discussed.
