Setting the Stage for FY USG The state’s revenue collections declined below projection 1.1 percent in FY08, 10.5 percent FY09 and in the first two months of FY10 are down 13.7 percent compared to FY09. The University System is subject to the same budget pressures being faced and borne by all agencies of state government -- for FY09 the USG took $275 million in cuts to the base state appropriation, and in FY10 is seeing a withholding of an additional $115 million. Here are the decisions made with respect to USG budget cuts: –To USG employees: no raises, increased health care and pension plan costs and six mandatory furlough days. –To students: a mandatory fee and the end of the guaranteed tuition plan for fall 2009 incoming freshmen.

Setting the Stage for FY USG These reductions are having an effect on staffing. We now have more than 1,300 vacant positions throughout the System that have not been filled on a permanent basis – more than 500 of these are faculty. And we have laid off 146 employees. Federal stimulus funds provide some help, however, $92.6 million in stimulus funds discontinue in FY12, which is another permanent cut to our budget. As the USG responds to these budget challenges classroom instruction is our top priority. Dollars lost under these reductions will not be returned at a later date.

Setting the Stage for FY GPC GPC cut $7.6 million out of its budget during FY09 and the FY10 original budget. GPC has cut more than 50 positions out of the budget GPC submitted a reduction plan for 8% to the USG. We have also planned internally for a 10% reduction which now appears to be the minimum reduction. The institutional fee implemented in FY09 continued and has increased from $50 to $100. GPC received $3.3 million in Federal Stimulus funds in the FY10 original budget and an additional $1.6 million in December. These funds discontinue in FY12 GPC currently has a $6 million funding shortfall when compared to other two year and state colleges

Budget Calendar

Georgia Perimeter College Challenges, Issues, and Opportunities GPC currently has the lowest ratio of square footage in the University System and uses its classrooms more than twice the national benchmark. GPC’s employees continue to serve their students even with under market compensation levels. GPC continues to provide technologically advanced instruction although the need for additional information reporting infrastructure exists. GPC is expanding by taking possession of an entire building at the Alpharetta Center.

Georgia Perimeter College Challenges, Issues, and Opportunities GPC is opening a contact center to field the more than 1.7 million phone calls received by student services every year. Due to a reduction in P-Card use, GPC has processed 56% more purchase orders in the current year even with the need of additional staffing and funding. GPC maintains a 60%/40% Full Time to Part Time faculty ratio. To continue this, 50 new full time faculty are needed in FY2011. GPC’s enrollment services, student development and special programs must address the demand of increased enrollment to support student access and retention, improved operational and service delivery, creating efficiencies, and a positive student experience. As of this current reduction, we have reduced or have plans to reduce our operating budget by $14 million.
