The Need for Stability, Predictability, and Investment: The Potential 2019/20 Community College State Operating Budget Request   Having a stable financial platform from which strategic and operational decisions can be made is essential for a success enterprise, be it an academic one or any other. Under the current – primarily volume based model – of State Support, the variability in both enrollment levels and annual Base Aid amounts undercuts the ability for New York State’s Community Colleges to have this base from which to work; limiting long-term decision making and challenges in meeting ongoing fixed costs. Average = 77.8% In other words, on average, 78 Cents of every dollar the community colleges collect to operate are dependent on a student enrolling and staying at a community college 6

The Current Model of State Funding is Unpredictable, and Does Not Reflect the Operational Realities of Community Colleges   While the State Funding provided to SUNY Community Colleges is essential and very much appreciated, the model that provides that important funding can impact each college differently. With changing demographics, an evolving student population, and the ongoing needs of the communities and local businesses the State Funding model created in the 1970s is not configured for the needs of 2018 or beyond. 7

Therefore, SUNY Continues to Work with All Partners to Propose a New State Model for Funding that Recognizes these Realities   Such a new State Model would optimistically include the following components: Stability: By providing a steady base of operational support from the State that recognizes current costs Predictability: By ensuring that colleges would not see a loss in State investment due to enrollment changes alone Investment: By providing incremental further investment in the colleges by the State, recognizing the important role they play in the realm of academia, workforce development, and their communities * Dependent on the release of the 2019/20 State Budget “Call Letter” 9
