Grants F&A is revenue to Operations
Transfers:
into operations is from services (arrow)
from Auxiliary goes to plant fund (pay off loans, maintenance costs, reserves), but also fees to operations, which increased for FY 18
from Gifts largely go to endowment corpus (est. $160 M total S&T endowment)
From Grants largely is fixed price close-outs to operations or maybe to Plant (= building purchase, maintenance, depreciation)

22. 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, 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) % reallocation to programmatic changes

24. FY18 proportions

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

34. 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.

35. 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

36. 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

37. 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

38. 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, 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

39. 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
