Create a waterfall chart that explains the year over year change to WOU's general fund balance due to FY 2020 operations as described by our most recent FY20 budget. The FY19 year end and projected FY20 year end balances can be found on p. 4 of the budget. Structure the chart to begin with the FY19 year end balance and then show additions for revenue from total tuition, state funding, and other revenue as separate items, followed by subtractions for Personel, Services & Supplies, and Net Transfers to arrive at the FY20 year end balance. The revenue and expense can be found on p. 3 of the budget in the middle column "Proposed FY20 Budget".

FY20 Adopted Budget Budget Creation Process For the past several months, we have been working towards developing the FY20 Budget. This is the first year we are undergoing this process in a decentralized budget environment. Thus, we supported the process by providing budget training in multiple capacities, including in-person meetings, a video training, and written instructions. The overall purpose of the budgeting process was to engage all relevant campus stakeholders in setting fiscal targets and levels of expenditures, allocating resources in conformity with fiscal targets and University's Strategic Plan, and addressing issues of operational efficiency and performance standards. The process involved having 26 meetings with stakeholders across campus, including LAS, COE, divisions of Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, General Counsel, Development and Advancement, Finance and Administration, and Auxiliary Services. In addition, the budgeting process included University Budget Advisory Committee's (UBAC) review of campus-wide initiative and efficiency proposals, Tuition and Fee Advisory Committee's (TFAC) involvement in the tuition setting process, and Incidental Fee Committee's (IFC) involvement in setting the incidental fee. Budget formulation took place in an uncertain state funding environment with the Governor Recommended Budget (GRB) allocating no additional funds from the previous biennium to higher education. The Co-Chair's Recommended Budget allocated an additional $40.5M from the prior biennium to higher education (PUSF). FY20 Budget Highlights: Revenue: 1. State appropriations remain uncertain. As a result, the FY20 budget is built upon the assumption of an additional $40.5M being invested into the PUSF, but also includes the impact of $60M, $80M, $100M, and $120M scenarios on the revenue side. 2. Tuition revenues are based on the assumption of flat enrollment. 3. Tuition revenues have been adjusted for the rates approved by the Board (a Resident Undergraduate tuition increase of 2.33%), for a projected budgetary increase of $980K. 4. Other revenues projected to be equivalent to FY19's projected actual earnings, for a projected budgetary increase of $837K. 5. Fee remission budget increased by $1.6M to enhance enrollment and retention. Expenses: 1. Total expense increase is $3.045M. Expenses: 1. Total expense increase is $3.045M. 2. Increase to PERS expense of $1.25M, which is offset by the $750K reserve built into the FY19 budget. 3. Projected budgetary increase to salaries totals $1.5M, which includes faculty raises as per the CBA, step increases for classified staff (based on FY19 contract), and a pool for raises for unclassified staff and changes to the classified staffs' contract. 4. An overall increase in S&S of $614K. This includes $100K added for a budget contingency, $202K added for the Natural Science debt repayment to begin next year, and $100K added for bad debt expense ($0 of bad debt expense was budgeted in FY19). 5. An overall increase in transfers out of $103K to account for an increase in athletics' subsidy due to funding men's soccer head and assistant coach positions. 6. New initiatives invested in the proposed budget include: a. Salem presence of $401K b. Organizational Leadership program of $150K C. Two new positions in the Financial Aid office totaling $129K d. A new Institutional Research Analyst totaling $102K e. A new Paralegal position for General Counsel totaling $88K f. Open Educational Resource incentives/textbook rental initiative of $45K g. Strong Start Scholars program to support students interested in STEM fields of $19K h. Funding to continue CASA services that were previously funded by a grant of $103K i. Funding to improve experiential learning of $12K j. Funding for a temporary position to improve web marketing of $77K Budget Summary With the uncertain level of state funding and an environment of dwindling enrollment across the state, the budget proposed is in deficit. WOU's conservative financial history has provided reserves that can be utilized in times such as these. While we recognize that this is not a sustainable approach to these challenges over time, we believe it is the best decision for our students this year. Additionally, an adjusted proposed FY20 budget will be prepared in the fall once actual state appropriations and enrollment are known.
