Background During the final budget negotiations, the Legislature and the Governor agreed to an additional $250 million in agency spending reductions, to be assessed to agencies if revenue targets assumed in the Enacted Budget were not met. The University�s share of this reduction is $23.25 million, or 1.9% of current State tax support for 2010-11 fiscal year. The reduction was distributed to the campuses and System Administration proportionately to the total core instructional support, that is, the State tax support plus campus tuition revenue. The University-wide programs, which do not have significant alternate revenues resources, were not subject to this reduction, and those allocations remain as adopted by the Board in August 2010. The State budget provides for total core instructional support for the State University of $2,368,097,900, consisting of $1,086,313,900 in State taxpayer support and $1,281,784,000 in State University income from tuition and other revenue. After this reduction, the revised available State taxpayer support is $1,063,063,900 (see Attachment for campus-level detail). The State University Board of Trustees has the authority to allocate the annual appropriations in accordance with the operating flexibility legislation of 1985. Education Law ��355(4) and 355-a authorize the University to determine the number of positions supported by available personal service funds. The Director of the Budget retains authority over the total aggregate funding (expenditure ceiling) available to the University during any fiscal year.
