New Budget Model

Some Key Definitions
Some Key Definitions• Subsidy: Funds provided annually outside of unit allocation
model to particular academic units, based on:- Cost of their core activities (instruction, research)- Foundational importance to KU- Other inherent limitations for a unit within a budget model
Student Credit Hours (SCH) – 65%• Undergraduate
- 75% of SCH assigned to instruction unit vs. 25% for major- Students with more than one major are split between the units
• Graduate - SCH are weighted at 1.5 to support higher cost of instruction - Graduate SCH are defined by the level of the student, not by the level
of course taken. - 75% of SCH assigned to instruction unit vs. 25% for major
* Includes traditional, KU online & Everspring SCH** Does not include KU Edwards, Leavenworth or USD 497 SCH
Research – 20%• Grant Expenditures (8-10%)
- All direct and indirect costs from external funding
• Grant Efforts and Spread (2%)- % of faculty a) submitting a grant and b) with active funding
• Products (4-5%)*- Counts of all works from a disciplinary lens
Impact (4-5%)*- Aggregate faculty visibility (e.g., citations) and unit rankings

Some Key Definitions• Subsidy: Funds provided annually outside of unit allocation
model to particular academic units, based on:- Cost of their core activities (instruction, research)- Foundational importance to KU- Other inherent limitations for a unit within a budget model
• Smoothing: Funds provided to a particular unit in a given year to offset any unexpected/large budget reduction for that unit
Service Unit Allocation• Service Responsibilities (100%)
- 3-10 primary responsibilities in supporting the mission of KU- These convey the goals and activities of each unit - Benchmark cost drivers
• Performance in Meeting Service Responsibilities (+/- X%)- Based on metrics set by the unit - One metric must be linked to overall performance with KU priorities
- Research- Student Success- OSPs (Fac/staff Dev, DEI, Outreach, Fundraising, Efficiency)
Service Responsibilities

its mission Strategic Plan/Objectives Performance Metrics
Benchmark Cost Drivers with Peers Unit Allocations 100%
+/- X%
• Variable when increased/decreased, impacts cost of providing service
• Defined by VPs and Provost with support from Finance & AIR
• Significant changes will be phased in over a period of time
• Set by unit with approval from Provost
• One metric must address KU priorities: Research, Student Success, Efficiency, etc
• Goals established to improve or expand services
Graphic of Service Unit Allocation
Timing of Annual Budget Allocation
• FY21 (1st Budget with New Model) based on performance in CY19- We have the details of the model in place but need CY19 data to determine FY21 budget
• FY20 (Upcoming Budget – Old Style) based on performance in CY18 - We have SCH but no other metrics for CY18 so FY20 is a shadow year- We have to wait until the summer to learn about state appropriation and tuition increase- Once we have all information we will seek to balance investment in Foundational Priorities
(e.g., merit raises) and allocation to units, with strategic investments where possible

• Smoothing: Funds provided to a particular unit in a given year to offset any unexpected/large budget reduction for that unit
• Contingency: Funds used in a given year to limit most budgetary impacts for all units from unexpected external budget reductions
• Finalize unit-defined metrics
• Define rubrics for evaluation committee
• Further flesh out the mechanics of smoothing
• Establish phase-in of model for years FY21 and beyond
• Establish a regular cycle and procedure for sharing budget information with KU Community
