3 State Funding Headaches 1/25/11 Illinois appeals court rules the state s funding plan for its 2009 capital construction program unconstitutional Supreme court to rule on a request for a stay in the very near future Uncertainty of state funding impedes private donations Discussions underway with campus about alternative options for obtaining the state funds 3

4 Weathering the State Budget Uncertainty Enhancing Financial Stability Increased financial oversight at all levels Managing Human Resources 585 FTE decrease on General Revenue Funds (state/tuition funds) since FY09 Reducing Central Costs Energy conservation; central/cross-college service centers Reducing College Costs Shared services; Admin Consolidation; Extension reorganization Enhanced Revenue International students tuition/fees; self-supporting MS Conservation of Cash Limited hires; deferred expenses; better fiscal control Year-end Outcome Cash balances held by academic units up by more than $62M Deficits reduced by 23% 4

5 Investing to Protect & Advance our Campus Protecting access and the student experience Investment in Financial aid (growing by > $4.6M) Access Illinois the final major theme of Brilliant Futures campaign Expansion of James Scholars program Expanding small UG classes; establishment of UG research office College-based initiatives Protecting quality of life Investing in scholarship (Research Board, CAS, Humanities & Arts Research Fund, ) Supporting research compliance & safety Improving facilities Hiring and retaining the best faculty 133 strategic hires approved (5 in ECE) Support retention efforts Increased campus promotion increment 5
