The Budget Challenge

1)Adjust the enrolment plan based on the 2010/11 funding

2) Develop a two year sustainable and balanced budget

3)Address the shortfall created over the two years as costs continue to increase while grant and tuition revenue is relatively flat

Budget Principles1. Ensure resources are in place to support

all in progress degree students.

2. We must preserve the planned expenditures on “transition” issues in order to continue to meet CAQC degree implementation requirements.

3. We will not increase tuition beyond the already agreed and board approved levels for 2010/11

Budget Principles4. We will not add more students to get

tuition revenue in order to meet budget shortfalls.

5. We can only fund permanent/base expenditures from permanent/base resources . . . one time resources can only fund one time expenditures.

Budget Principles6. Every effort will be made to avoid

position eliminations that would result in layoffs, although resource “reallocation” could result in position changes.

7. All budget decisions will be guided by the focus on student success and satisfaction
