Seattle Colleges’ Resource Challenges

Context for changes in resources Declining State resources Enrollment SBCTC Allocation model Local pressures

Declining State resources No “backfill” of tuition decreases $12.9 million for CTC system Seattle = approx. 11% or $1.4 million Moore vs. HCA settlement $13.4 million – Community and Technical Colleges’ local funds Seattle = approx. $1.5 million (one-time) McCleary impacts (TBD) Updated Graphic

Enrollment 2009-10: 15,845 FTES 2015-16: 13,436 FTES Note: Seattle Colleges “counted” International FTES in 2013-14

Enrollment (cont’d) Domestic student tuition projected to decrease by > $1.5 million International Student FTES down 10 – 20% for 2016-17

Enrollment (cont’d) Student Faculty ratio has decreased by: NSC – (9.3%) 23.47 to 21.29 SSC – (12.6%) 22.32 to 19.50 SCC – (14.9%) 24.30 to 20.67 SVI – (41.1%) 24.33 to 14.33 Full-time Equivalent Faculty has changed by: NSC – 2.5% 218.14 to 223.59 SSC – 14.4% 231.97 to 265.25 SCC – 3.6% 288.23 to 298.51 SVI – (19.9%) 33.31 to 26.67 (from college’s peak FTES to 2015-16)

SBCTC Allocation Model Focus on: Enrollment Student Achievement Initiative (performance-based funding) High Priority programs Financial integration of specialized programs / initiatives $4 million reduction to Seattle Colleges over the next 4 years $400,000 worker-retraining reduction

Local pressures Seattle Colleges decisions around the SBCTC Allocation model District Office Fixed costs increasing (i.e., unemployment, merchant fees, sick leave payouts) Consolidation of specific functions SVI, Maritime, Wood Tech, NewHolly, Georgetown, & Pacific Tower Tuition sharing Other pressures ctcLink ($1.7 million project costs + $750k / year software costs) Student Success / recruiting initiatives $15 / hour Other unfunded mandates (Moore, etc.) Faculty / Staff contract costs

The Math (estimated): Seattle Colleges’ Total Annual Operating Budget ~ $129,000,000 On-going: Tuition backfill / salaries ($1,400,000) SBCTC Model ($4,000,000) Worker Retraining ($400,000) Tuition ($1,500,000)+ Student Success / recruiting initiatives TBD Other ($2,300,000) One-time: ctcLink ($1,700,000) Moore vs. HCA ($1,500,000)
