R EBUILDING T HE AA R ESOURCE A LLOCATION P ROCESS : DETAIL III T OWARDS P RINCIPLES OF A N EW S USTAINABLE B UDGET M ODEL The following principles begin to articulate the framework for a new, sustainable budget allocation model for colleges within the Division of Academic Affairs: 1. Look beyond the division’s historical budget methodology. 2. Budget allocations shall be aligned with the priorities of the University and AA Strategic Plans. 3. Budget allocations shall incentivize units to reduce time-to-degree and achieve high rates of degree Draft completion. 4. The budget processes and practices shall provide units with maximum flexibility to address their highest priorities, leverage the heterogeneity of the subunits, and ensure the division has a subsidiary role to support its units and programs. 5. The budget processes and practices shall take advantage of all possible options to advance the university’s financial position, consistent with the university’s mission. 6. The allocation model recognizes that all units / programs must have a critical mass of size and resources to Draft adequately serve their mission effectively. 7. The allocation model shall grow enrollment appropriately to the extent that there are adequate resources available to support student achievement, success, and graduation. 8. The allocation model shall encourage units to recognize and seek additional funding from non-state sources such as philanthropy, third-party partnerships, auxiliaries, enterprises, grants, contracts, and other activities. Draft 9. Any changes to the allocation methodology shall be phased-in so that units’ base budgets are not significantly reduced. 10. The new model shall minimize dramatic swings in resource allocation from year-to-year, be predictable, transparent, and allow campuses to engage in longer-term planning. 11. The allocation model shall be reviewed every three years. *Modeled after Principles for a New Sustainable Financial Budget Model for the California State University http://www.calstate.edu/financial-future/phases/ University Budget Committee: 9-16-2016 Meeting – Agenda Item 8 9
