No update since 22 Feb Changes for FY 19 (Cuts) -3.8% = State, -5.3 M +2.4% = Tuition up/out of state down, +3.4 M -1.5% = 2% merit raise pool (Choi), -2.1 M -0.18% = P&T and PTR, -0.25 M -0.36% = insurance, utilities, licenses, mandatory maintenance sum -0.5 M -0.17% = Benefits increases, -0.25? M - 3.5% = Cut $4.92 M Likely that System will give “strong guidelines” on how to distribute raises 8 to 13% cut: 3.5% (above) + 5-10% reallocation to programmatic changes

Expenditures and revenues (millions of $) Modest update since 22 Feb: FY 2018 numbers Revenue Costs Net State Tuition & Fees Other GRA Transfers to GRA [Cost dollars?] Last year (FY 17) 51.4 81.2 12.5 145.1 146.3 (5.8) 4.5 This year (FY 18) 49.4 85.1 10.2 144.7 147.3 (2.8) 0.2 Next year* (FY 19) 44.1 88.5 10.2? 142.8 144.4?

Modest update: more bad times Missouri funds higher education at $195 per capita, 45th in USA 2008-2017 total education revenue per FTE student: Missouri is 50th, no change in amount 1999-2014 (decline in amount, last three years), thus Decreased 17.2% in constant dollars US average was 5.8% increase Unhappy charts follow

Solar House Sale Referral: rumors high offer was not accepted, claimed non-involvement of student team and faculty in decision, and possibility donated components were sold as part of the house in violation of donor requirements.

a) rumors high offer was not accepted Individual approached, made offer ($325k) Next day, City of Denver made lower offer ($200k) Individual backed out because snow load at location > design load for solar house Sold to Denver for $250k

b) claimed non-involvement of student team and faculty in decision Chris Ramsay, SDELC director, met with student team in Denver for two hours At that time, students agreed it was best to sell the house No report that team faculty members were consulted

c) donated components sold in violation of donor requirements Chris Ramsay and Jeff Cawlfield said there was no restriction Issue is being followed up with the major donors

Of additional interest Solar House averaged $400k cost per year, raised typically $100k per year: 2017 Solar House cost $748,930.72 Budgeted $600k Awarded $125k by DOE for 4th place Raised $42k (possibly $75k) $193,167.73 billed labor by Physical Facilities Team, SDELC not apparently in control of costs 2015 Solar House cost $1,000k 2013 Solar House cost $600k Chancellor Schrader endorsed costs and covered from Facilities’ maintenance budget

Of additional interest DOE will not hold Solar Decathlon in 2019 Intent for team to build house on empty foundation ($47,531.50) using sale proceeds ($250,000) Student team awaiting ‘what to do’ for about 8 months Competing claims of research use of Solar House/Village Most design teamss much smaller budgets, held accountable to budget, small overruns if any
