Notes

HS provided an overview and update on budget.

This fiscal year we are 20% more/up on budget.

Utilization of care forward and IDR return.

Overview: all funds looking positive – mainly due to NWRI and Lastinger.

We have been trending up, as a result of the NWRI and State carry forward.

Gifts and endowments have been more productively utilization.

Latest adjustment taking block funding.

Help to pay RCM taxes (“ABC activity-based costing”) – for fiscal 2025.

70% for on-book tuition and 30% research spend.

We handled this change well (change to RCM model).

Motivation: greater metric-based processes/procedures.

CR asked about decision making now based on these changes.

HS stated that we are conservative and hold money back. We know 2024 will be a “nice year”. But ABC might be challenging for 2025. We feel good about this, but still do not know.

Reminder that provost does not fund state-employee raises.

HS gave a breakdown of the budget section at a time.

In terms of expenditures, all schools are a little under the % of the fiscal year (less that 58.33%).
