FY 2010-11 Joint Budget Committee Staff Budget Briefing Department of Higher Education DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW Key Responsibilities T T T T T

Provides higher education opportunities for Colorado residents through 26 state-operated campuses, two local district junior colleges, and four area vocational schools. Administers the College Opportunity Fund Program that provides stipends to students for  undergraduate education.  Negotiates fee-for-service fee-for-service contracts with institutions institutions to provide graduate, professional, specialized, rural, and other education programs. Distributes state financial assistance for students to attend public, private, or proprietary schools. Through the State Historical Society, collects, preserves, exhibits and interprets items and  properties of historical significance. significance.

Factors Driving the Budget

The Department of Higher Education accounts for 8.8 percent of state General Fund appropriations in FY 2009-10, making it the fifth largest General Fund appropriation behind the Department of  Education, Department of Health Care Policy and Financing, Department of Human Services, and Department of Corrections. Corrections. The relative rank rank of Higher Education funding may be misleading,  because the FY 2009-10 appropriation app ropriation for Higher Education includes $150 million federal funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. In prior years, years, Higher Education was the third largest General Fund appropriation, although for at least the last 20 years the share of state General Fund dedicated to higher education has trended downward from 20.3 percent in FY 1989-90. Higher  Education has by far the largest number of state employees, with 20,948 appropriated full-timeequivalent (FTE) positions in FY 2009-10. The Colorado Commission on Higher Education (Commission) oversees the higher education delivery system. system. Each state-operated institution institution also reports to a governing board. The members of  the Commission and of the governing boards are appointed by the Governor, except ex cept at the University of Colorado, where they are elected. Through statutes, statutes, the General Assembly has delegated significantt budgetary significan budgetary control control to the governing boards. Within broad parameters the governing boards are allowed to determine how to spend the revenue they earn, and they can retain unspent funds at the end of each fiscal year for future initiatives. The 26 state-operated institutions of higher education (institutions) serve a head-count of roughly 210,000 students from Colorado per year. year. The following table shows the number of resident full-time-equivalent (FTE) students at each institution. It also shows the two independent local district junior colleges that receive state General Fund in addition to local tax revenue. 18-Nov-09

Another significant part of the department's duties is to regulate the state's occupational education  programs. The Community College System administers the Colorado Vocational Act, which  provides resources for high school technical education, the federal Perkins program, and economic development funds to help companies provide industry-specific industry-specific training. The Community College System also has responsibility for the four Area Vocational Schools (Emily Griffith Opportunity School, T.H. Pickens Technical Center, Delta-Montrose Vocational Technical Center, and San Sa n Juan Basin Area Vocational School).

Individual versus public responsibility for higher education A key factor driving the budget for the Department of Higher Education is how much policy makers view paying for higher education as an individual versus public responsibility. Higher education  benefits individuals by increasing their earning potential and exposing them to cultural and social experiences that may improve improve their quality of life, but it also also has a public benefit. An educated  populous may attract businesses and cultural resources resources to the community, community, and it is associated with higher wages, and lower lower unemployment and dependence on public resources. Some studies have linked it with better physical health and a greater degree of civic involvement.

Higher education performance expectations Hand in hand with decisions about the degree of individual versus public funding for higher  education, legislators must determine what they expect from public higher education institutions in exchange for the General Fund support. support. Some examples of current statut statutory ory expectations include the minimum percentage of in-state students relative to out-of-state students that an institution must accept, and how selective each institution may be with admissions criteria.

Another type of performance performance criteria is the tuition and fee rates charged by the institutions. Statutes state that the General Assembly retains the ability to approve tuition spending authority for the governing boards (Section (Section 23-5-129 (10), C.R.S.). Furthermore, statutes require that the General Assembly annually note the tuition increases it uses to derive the total spending authority for each governing board in a footnote to the Long Bill (Section 23-18-202 (3) (b), C.R.S.). At times the legislature has attempted to use performance criteria such as time to graduation or  graduation rates as a basis for determining the distribution of funding and/or the total level of  funding for higher education. Currently, higher education institutions report this type type of data as part of performance contracts with the Colorado Commission on Higher Education and, while it may influence legislative funding decisions, it is not overtly part of the General Fund distribution distribution formula.

Impact of the statewide budget outlook  During the last economic downturn, reductions to higher education represented a significant portion of the actions by the General Assembly Assembly to adjust the budget to available revenues. This was true not only in Colorado, but in most states nationwide, and it is a pattern pattern seen in prior years as well. The table below compares General Fund appropriations in FY 2000-01 with FY 2004-05. General Fund Appropriations for Major Departments During the Most Recent Recession (in millions) Departm tmeent

In this same time frame tuition charges ch arges increased significantly, to some degree mitigating the impact of the General Fund reductions reductions on the operating revenue of the higher education institutions. The increases in tuition transferred more of the burden for funding higher education from state tax revenues to students. The following chart illustrates how tuition supplements General Fund revenues for the higher  education institutions, and perhaps provides a portion of the explanation for why higher education has historically been such a big part pa rt of budget balancing efforts in Colorado and other states during recessions. It also illustrates illustrates how the higher education institutions have faired in terms of General Fund appropriations and tuition spending authority authority in the y years ears following a recession. However, it should be noted that the chart does not include adjustments for changes in the number of students served, or inflationary factors impacting the cost of providing services. Also, it makes no  judgements about whether resources were being used optimally prior to the recession. Thus, legislators should be cautious about drawing conclusions from the chart about the adequacy of  General Fund and tuition increases during during and following the recession. That is a complicated and subjective analysis beyond the scope of this overview.

Fiscal Year

College Opportunity Fund Program Colorado uses a method of distributing higher education funding that is unique from other states. Instead of appropriating General Fund directly to the institutions for their day-to-day operations, the General Assembly appropriates money into into a fund that provides stipends to eligible undergraduate students. In addition, the General Assembly appropriates money for differences in tthe he cost of   programs at each institution. This second appropriation appropriation for cost differentials differentials gets to the institutions through what are called fee-for-service contracts between the Commission and the governing boards.

It may be helpful for legislators to focus on the sum of stipends and fee-for-service contracts, rather  than each separately. In practice, once stipends and fee-for-s fee-for-service ervice contracts are paid to a higher  education institution the institution institution makes no distinction between them. The sum of stipends and fee-for-service contracts is the state General Fund support provided to each institution for their  operations.

Enterprise Status The bill that authorized stipends and fee-for-service contracts (S.B. 04-189) also provided a mechanism for designating qualifying state higher education institutions as enterprises under  TABOR. Revenue, such as tuition, that that is generated by enterprises is exempt from the limits imposed by TABOR and has no impact on the refund. To achieve enterprise status under TABOR, a program must: (1) be a government-owned business; (2) have authority to to issue revenue bonds; and (3) receive less than 10 percent of annual revenue from state state and local grants. Stipends and feefor-service contracts are defined in statute as different from from a state grant. All of the institutions have  been designated as TABOR enterprises. Tuition As described above, statutes require the General Assembly to annually note the tuition increases it uses to derive the total spending authority for each governing board in a footnote to the Long Bill (Section 23-18-202 (3) (b), C.R.S.). Tuition rates are a central cons consideration ideration in discussions discussions about access and affordability. affordability. Total projected tuition tuition revenue for the governing boards influences legislative decisions about how much General Fund to appropriate for stipends and fee-for-service contracts. The graph below charts changes in tuition rates at selected institutions over the last 12 years.

Enrollment Enrollment is both a workload and performance measure for the campuses, and it affects tuition revenue.. For a few schools, revenue schools, nonresident enrollment enrollment is important in terms of total revenue, since nonresident tuition helps subsidize resident resident education. Enrollment tends to be counter-cy counter-cyclical. clical. In other words, when the economy slows, higher education enrollment increases.

Financial Aid Of the General Fund appropriation for higher education in FY 2009-10, $103.9 million (16.0  percent) is for financial aid. The majority of the money goes for need based aid and wo work rk study. There are also a number of smaller, special purpose financial aid programs. programs. Financial aid funds are appropriated to the Commission and then allocated to the institutions based on formulas that consider financial need at the schools, total student eenrollment, nrollment, and program eligibility criteria.

The federal government also provides a significant amount of financial aid for students. The most recent year of data shows federal Pell Grants to the neediest ne ediest students attending schools in Colorado (both public and private) totaled $156.1 million million in FY 2007-08. Federal guaranteed loan programs  provided another $988.4 million for students and their parents. The federal government also  provides tax credits and deductions for tuition. Another source of funding for financial aid is money set aside by the institutions. Some of the money comes from fund raising, but the majority comes from the operating budgets of the schools. There is significant variation in the amount of money available by institution based on differences

Allocations for the College Opportunity Fund and State Fiscal Stabilization Funds Governing Boards.  The Governor's request reflects a reduction of $56.0 million federal funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) for the higher education institutions, which in addition to the Governing Boards includes the Local Local District Junior Colleges and the Area Vocational Schools. The request is consistent with early supplemental requests submitted in August August and October to spend more of the available ARRA money in FY 2009-10, leaving less for FY 2010-11. The distribution of the reduction by institution is in proportion to increases in state funding provided in FY 2007-08 and FY 2006-07.

CCHE  requests   requests that the combined state and ARRA ARRA funding remain remain unchanged. When CCHE voted on its  budget recommendation, recommendation, the Gover Governor nor had not ye yett submitted his October plan to use the ARRA money money in FY 2009-10. To accomplish CCHE's goal goal would require either either rejecting the Governor's October plan for the ARRA funds, or adding $56.0 $56.0 million General Fund in FY 2010-11. As of this publication, CCHE has not met to consider the Governor's October plan, and so staff is not sure if that information would influence CCHE's request.

Tuition and Fee Spending Authority Governing Boards.  Both the Governor and CCHE   request tuition spending authority for 9.0 percent increases in resident undergraduate rates. Except at Fort Lewis College (see below), the dollar amounts amounts requested assume graduate tuition will increase at the same rate as undergraduate tuition, and nonresident tuition will increase 5.0 percent, but the requests propose that graduate and nonresident tuition not be li limited mited  by the legislature. For Fort Lewis Lewis College the Governor, but not CCHE , proposes that nonresident tuition be held constant, due to the requirement that the state reimburse Fort Lewis for tuition for qualified Native Americans. Fort Lewis estimates the cost of w waiving aiving tuition for qualified Native Americans in FY 2009-10 as $10.7 million, and 96 percent of this is attributable to nonresidents. Increasing non nonresident resident rates at Fort Lewis would increase the General Fund required the next year for tuition waivers for Native Americans.

FY 2009-10 Higher Edcaton Budget Balancing General Fund Reduction College Opportunity Fund Program and Governing Boards.  In August August and October the Governor  indicated his intent to submit supplemental requests to reduce FY 2009-10 General Fund for the higher  education institutions and backfill with federal money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The August plan included reducing the stipend stipend rate and fee-for-service fee-for-service contracts. The Governor has not yet  proposed an allocation between stipends and fee-for-service fee-for-service contracts for the October reduction. For FY 201011, the Governor's request largely l argely restores the General Fund to comply with the ARRA maintenance of effort requirement, but all of the restored funding, at least for the August reduction, would be provided to the institutions through fee-for-service fee-for-service contracts. Thus, the FY 2010-11 request reflects a lower stipend rate than the FY 2009-10 appropriation, and a higher higher amount for for fee-for-s fee-for-service ervice contracts. Stipends for students attending private institutions are pegged by statute to 50 percent of the stipend rate for students attending  public institutions, and so the FY 2010-11 request does not include restoring restoring stipends for sstudents tudents at private institutions.

FY 2010-11 Joint Budget Committee Staff Budget Briefing Department of Higher Education BRIEFING ISSUE

higher education from the American American Recovery and Reinvestment Act ISSUE:  Federal funding for higher (ARRA) This issue brief summarizes the impact on the Department of Higher Education of  the Governor's August and October proposals for spending federal ARRA funds, and some key federal rules regarding the expenditure of Education Stabilization Funds from the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund of ARRA. SUMMARY: ‘

ARRA funding includes a maintenance of effort requirement equal to FY 2005-06 state support for higher education and K-12.



Colorado probably qualifies for a waiver from this maintenance of effort requirement in FY 2009-10, but not in FY 2010-11, which has a significant impact on other departments that will have to absorb reductions that might otherwise be made to higher education.



The ARRA money for education must be spent to backfill lost General Fund to the FY 20082008 09 funding level. If the General Ass Assembly embly reduces K-12 funding further than proposed by the Governor, some of the ARRA money must be taken from higher education to backfill K12.



August and October plans submitted by the Governor would spend more of the available ARRA money in FY 2009-10, leaving insufficient funds to fully backfill higher education institutions in FY FY 2010-11. The Governor proposes allocating the reduction in ARRA funds to the higher education educa tion institutions in the reverse order of increases in state funding since FY 2005-06.

DISCUSSION:

Of the moneys for Colorado in the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), federal statute designates $621.9 million as Education Stabilization Funds that must be spent on higher higher education and K-12 education. The money may be spent over  FY 2008-09, FY 2009-10, and FY 2010-11. ARRA requires states accepting the Education Stabilization Funds to maintain state support for  higher education institutions and K-12 at least at the the levels provided in FY 2005-06. A state may apply for a waiver from this maintenance of effort requirement. requirement. Based on guidance from the federal 18-Nov-09

Department of Education, OSPB believes that Colorado would qualify for a waiver in FY 20 2009-10, 09-10,  but almost certainly would not qualify for a waiver in FY 2010-11. To qualify for a waiver in FY 2010-11, Colorado would need, among other things, to allocate the same percentage of available available revenues for higher education and KK-12 12 as it did in FY 2009-10. Both OSPB and Legislative Council Staff project that General Fund revenues will increase in FY 2010-11, meaning that appropriations for higher education and K-12 would need to increase in order to maintain the same percentage of available revenues and qualify for a waiver. The maintenance of effort requirement applies to state FY 2008-09, FY 2009-10, and FY 2010-11. Colorado must meet the maintenance of effort requirement in each of these fiscal years even if all of the Education Stabilization Fund money is spent spent prior to the end of FY 2010-11. In other words, accelerating ARRA expenditures to FY 2009-10 would not eliminate the FY 2010-11 20 10-11 maintenance of effort requirement. Staff has not found any specific federal guidance on what the sanction would  be for failure to meet the maintenance of effort requirement, but presumably all of the ARRA money would be in jeopardy. The federal government could garnish future federal payments payments to recovery an amount equal to the ARRA funds. The lack of flexibility in higher education funding in FY 2010-11 means the General Assembly will need to make greater reductions and/or revenue enhancements in other areas of the budget than has  been customary in recent years in order to close close the deficit. deficit. When revenues dropped in FY 2008-09, higher education was $150.7 of the General Assembly Assembly's 's solution. In FY 2009-10, despite the constraint of the ARRA maintenance of effort requirement, the Governor proposes an ARRA waiver  so that higher education can be $225.8 million of the solution to the deficit. In the previous previous downturn the legislature followed followed a similar pattern. pattern. In FY 2001-02 higher education supplemental  bills reduced reduce d higher education appropriations $14.6 $1 4.6 million. In FY 2002-03 supplemental bills reduced higher education educati on appropriations appropriations $112.3 million. In FY 2003-04 higher education appropriations were $94.1 million below the FY 2002-03 ending e nding appropriation. The Governor's August and October plans for addressing the FY 2009-10 General Fund shortfall include reducing state support for higher higher education by $225.8 million. million. This requires a federal waiver, current FYof2009-10 appropriation for FY higher education is at theFund minimum to meet thebecause ARRA the maintenance effort requirement. requir ement. For 2010-11 the General must be restored to meet the ARRA maintenance of effort requirement, since Colorado would not meet the waiver criteria. Even if the General Assembly rejected the Governor's Governor's August and October plans, the FY 2010-11 General Fund appropriation for the higher education institutions would still need to equal at least $555.3 million to meet the ARRA maintenance of effort requirement. If the General Assembly accepts the August and October plans, the ARRA money runs out in FY 2010-11 and there is not enough money to fully restore the funding for the higher education institutions to the FY 200809 baseline. The table on the next page summarizes the Governor's proposal for for higher education. For FY 201112 the ARRA money will be gone.

no increase in General Fund to backfill backfill the lost lost ARRA money. Because there will be no maintenance of effort requirement in FY 2011-12, the legislature could reduce General Fund for the higher education institutions below the $555.3 million threshold in that year.

Federal guidance requires Colorado to spend Education Education Stabilization Funds first to backfill decreases in higher education and K-12 funding below the original FY FY 2008-09 level. If this threshold threshold is met, then there are other optional ways Colorado may spend spend the ARRA money. Originally the Governor   proposed spending some of the Education Stabilization Funds on K-12 education in FY 2009-10 and FY 2010-11. TheFY state funding levelsrequest for hi higher gher education K-12 to proposed inof thethe Governor's October plan and 2010-11 budget would require and Colorado spend all available Education Stabilization Funds on higher education e ducation so that state and ARRA funding are as close to the target FY 2008-09 funding level as possible. For FY 2010-11 the Governor's request for state support for K-12 funding is $6.1 $6. 1 million above the FY 2008-09 funding level. If the legislature legislature reduced K-12 further than requested by the Governor, and below the FY 2008-09 funding level, then higher education would no longer receive all of the Education Stabilization Funds. In that scenario, scenario, ARRA would require require the state to allocate the the Education Stabilization Funds to higher education and K-12 in proportion p roportion to the dollar shortfall of  each below their FY 2008-09 funding level. For example, if the General Assembly reduced $106

To achieve the FY 2009-10 General Fund reductions for higher education proposed in the August  plan, OSPB recommends reducing the stipend stipend rate from $2,040 for a full-time, full-time, full-year full-year student to $1,860 and taking the remainder from from the fee-for-service fee-for-service contracts. contracts. Reducing the sstipend tipend rate  preserves enough appropriations from the fee-for-service contracts for institutions institutions to continue to take advantage of the more favorable bond rates available through the Higher Education Intercept Program (S.B. 08-245 Windels/Buescher). The Governor has not yet submitted a proposal ffor or how to allocate the October plan reductions, but if access to the Higher Education Intercept Program continues to be a priority, priority, then further reductions in the stipend rate will be necessary necessary.. While staff  would encourage the Committee to concentrate on the combined stipend and fee-for-service amount as the relevant measure of state support for higher education, it is possible that reductions in the stipend rate may be perceived differently by the public than reductions in fee-for-service contracts. Because the FY 2009-10 General Fund reductions proposed in the August and October plans would  be entirely backfilled with ARRA funds, the allocations of the reductions by governing board are not significant, unless one believes they provide some indication of what the Governor would propose if reductions are necessary necessary in FY 2011-12 after after the ARRA money has run out. The August plan allocated half the General Fund reductions to the governing boards in proportion to existing General Fund appropriations, and half in proportion to estimated total General Fund and tuition, with a $10 million adjustment for institutions with the greatest enrollment growth between FY 2005-06 and FY 2008-09. The Governor has not yet yet submitted a plan for allocating the October General Fund Fund reduction. For FY 2010-11, the reduction in ARRA funding is allocated to the higher education institutions in the reverse order of increases in funding since FY 2005-06. So, the reduction eliminates iincreases ncreases  provided between FY FY 2006-07 and FY 2007-08 first. first. Then, it reduces part of the increases provided  between FY 2005-06 and FY 2006-07. This approach is consistent with the ARRA legislation that treats FY 2005-06 as the maintenance of effort baseline, but the allocation is not mandated by ARRA. To the extent that the increases in funding provided by the legislatur legislaturee between FY 2005-06 and the present were to address funding inequities or other policy concerns at specific institutions, this approach erodes progress toward those objectives.

FY 2010-11 Joint Budget Committee Staff Budget Briefing Department of Higher Education BRIEFING ISSUE ISSUE: 

Closing colleges This issue brief discusses a hypothetical closure of a small rural community college to provide a rough sense of the cost savings potential and identify policy concerns associated with this strategy. SUMMARY: ‘

The biggest barrier to this strategy is identifying which institution or institutions will be closed.



The institutions with the highest cost per student tend to be the small, rural institutions that don't receive a lot of money in total.



The savings are mitigated if students migrate to another Colorado institution.



Some institutions have significant on-going liabilities, especially for auxiliary facilities such as dormitories, that would need to be addressed.



Indirect impacts on associated businesses, the demand for state services, and state tax revenues could further offset the savings.

DISCUSSION:

One of the fortoo how to reduce thethe scope of Colorado's higher education system is tomore closecommon colleges.suggestions Colorado has many schools, argument goes, and the state would  be more efficient if if it shut some of them down. The biggest barrier barrier to closing instit institutions, utions, and the issue that usually stops the discussion from going any an y further, is identifying which school or schools to close. Without consideration for any policy concern other than reducing the budget, the biggest savings  probably occurs occ urs by closing institutions with high state support per student. This is because the students wouldn't necessarily go away, but rather migrate to another institution, and from a budget  perspective the state would want them to migrate to a lower cost institution. Unfortunately, the small, rural institutions that tend to have the highest state support per student often don't receive a lot of General Fund in total. 18-Nov-09

For illustration purposes, staff decided to model closing Northeastern Junior College in Sterling. According to the Community College budget data book the campus received $3,400 state support  per student FTE in FY 2009-10 not including ARRA funds. In addition to having a relatively relatively high high General Fund per student by Colorado community college standards, Northeastern Junior College is only 45 minutes away from Morgan Community College in Fort Morgan in one direction and the Sidney campus of Western Western Nebraska Community College College in another direction. Western Nebraska Community College actually charges about $600 less in annual tuition for a full-time student from Colorado than Northeastern Junior College, if the student applies through the Western Undergraduate Exchange program organized by the Western Interstate Commission on Higher  Education (WICHE). From a short-term budget savings perspective, the state should hope that a large number of the students either decide not to attend college or go out-of-state. This may sound funny, but it saves the state the most money, because the state doesn't need to pay for those students at another Colorado institution. From a longer term view, those who choose not to attend college are likely to earn less and access more state support services. Those who attend college out of state may not return. Staff  has no basis for guessing how students might respond if Northeastern Junior College were closed,  but for illustration purposes staff assumed a full 60 percent don't cost c ost the state any more money,  because they either don't pursue college (30 percent) or go out of state (30 percent). If the state is fortunate, the percentage will be higher, saving the state more money, but the converse is also  possible. Some students will migrate to another Colorado college. Here the best outcome for the state would  be for the students to migrate to an urban community college, where costs per student are lowest. For illustration, staff assumed assumed 10 percent would go to Denver Community College. Another good option for the state would be for students to attend a local district junior college where property taxes help support the institution. institution. Staff modeled 10 percent of the students attending Aims Community College in Greeley. Greeley. The staff calculations assume only 10 percent choose to attend Morgan Community Commun ity College 45 minutes down the road. If more students choose to stay stay close to home, it would decrease the savings to the state, because Morgan Community College receives more state support per student than Denver or Aims. In fact, Morgan Community College receives more state support student than Northeastern Junior College, might make better candidate for  closure. per However, in total Morgan Morgan receives less thanwhich Northeastern, and itsoa w when hen staff modeled closing Morgan with the same enrollment assumptions the total savings was very similar, and using the same enrollment assumptions may not make sense due to less proximity to out-of-state options. Some students will decide to go straight for a 4-year college, rather than a community college. A logical choice might be Colorado State S tate University at Fort Collins, with it's emphasis on agricultural sciences. Staff assumed 5 percent would attend CSU. Not all of the students will will meet the admission criteria, though, and will choose a less selective school like the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley. Greeley. Staff assumed 5 percent would would attend UNC.

If the legislature chose not to reimburse institutions for students that migrate from a closed college, those institutions would still experience an increase in costs that would undermine their ability to maintain current service levels. The incremental cost of adding the new students may not be equal to each institution's current cost per student, due to economies of scale. The next consideration is what happens to the facilities. If the state could find find a private buyer who would reuse the facilities for a business purpose this could provide a source of revenue to pay off  liabilities, alternative employment opportunities for the staff, and economic development for the community. A private buyer would significantly significantly improve improve the pro arguments for closing a college. Another option would be for the state to reuse the facility, facility, for example as a prison. This results in more of shift of costs from one department to another, rather than a net savings, but there could be cost avoidance in this scenario if the state would otherwise need to build a new prison facility. This analysis assumes there is no private buyer and the facility will be mothballed. Northeastern Junior College reports $4.6 million in liabilities for bonds and capital leases related to dormitories, food service, parking, and energy improvements. improvements. Staff assumes the state wouldn't attempt to retire this with a lump sum payment, since that would be more than the annual savings from closing the college, but rather the state would make the annual payment of $495,000 from the General Fund.  Not every community college college has this much in liabilities. Otero and Lamar Community Colleges have relatively high General Fund per student FTE operating costs and report no bond or capital lease liabilities. However, Lamar starts with a significantly smaller level of total state support than than Northeastern Junior College, and it may not be reasonable to make the same migration assumptions for Otero.  Northeastern Junior College Resident SFTE State support per SFTE FY 20 2008 08-0 -09 9 stip stipen ends ds an and d FF FFS S Migration Western Nebraska  No college Denver Community College Aims Community College Morgan Community College CSU Fort Collins UNC Migration Liabilities Total Annual payment

At this point the estimated savings from closing the institution is $2.4 million with favorable student migration assumptions, but there are several other factors factors to consider. Losses in state income and sales tax may offset the savings. Northeastern reports it is the the third largest employer in the region with 236.8 FTE and salaries, salaries, not including benefits, totaling $5.8 million. If all the staff are unemployed for a year, the lost state taxes would be $235,000, assuming a 3.1 percent effective income tax rate and one third of salaries spent on goods and services subject to the state sales tax of  2.9 percent. Not all of the staff would remain unemployed, and some might find better better paying jobs and/or create more economic development. However, the st student udent migration assumptions assumptions include a large percentage of students going out of state, and so it would be reasonable to assume a ssume some of  the staff follow them out of Colorado. Also, staff hasn't estimated indirect economic impacts such such as fewer pizza parlors, coffee shops, and office suppliers that serve the students and institution. Businesses that depend on the graduates would be impacted, such as health providers, wind farms, and agricultural industries. Family farms farms and other small businesses that stay afloat by having a spouse work at the college could be impacted. There could be an increase in demand for state services such as unemployment insurance and Medicaid associated with the closure. Local property assessed values might might decrease, impacting impa cting the school finance finance formula. The cost to mothball the facility might be significant, depending on the level of facility preservation and the level of  safeguarding safeguar ding against vandalism and liability desired. The campus map identifies 32 structures (some with shared walls) at two different sites.

FY 2010-11 Joint Budget Committee Staff Budget Briefing Department of Higher Education BRIEFING ISSUE ISSUE: "Privatizing" state institutions

This issue brief discusses a hypothetical "privatization" of a state institution to  provide a rough sense of the cost savings potential and identify policy concerns associated with this strategy. SUMMARY: ‘

"Privatization" in this issue brief means little or no state state support for operating expenses. A wide range of other policy considerations could be part of "privatization," including maintaining some degree of preferential tuition for Colorado residents.



A privatized institution, as opposed to a closed institution, continues to provide an economic  benefit to the local community and state.



With an 18 percent increase in resident tuition rates for two years the CU Boulder campus could completely replace state support, not including ARRA funds. To replace state support and set aside 20 percent of tuition increases for financial aid would require 22.5 percent increases for two years. years. In this scenario, at the end of two years CU Boulder's tui tuition tion rate would still be below many large public research institutions in other states.



Additional increases would be necessary if the state expected CU Boulder to replace ARRA funds, increase compensation, and make quality improvements, as opposed to just maintaining current service levels during the two-year time period.

DISCUSSION:

Along with closing institutions, another commonly promoted idea for reducing the scope of the higher education system system is to "privatize" institutions. Privatization means different different things to different people, and doesn't necessarily necessarily involve cutting all ties to the state. For this discussion, staff  will use the term privatization to mean little or no General Fund for operating expenses. A wide range of other policies could be part of a privatization discussion, such as tuition flexibility, eligibility for state financial aid and capital construction, admission criteria for Colorado residents, nonresident enrollment caps, preferential tuition and financial aid for Colorado residents, governance, legal protections, regulatory regulatory relief, etc. Even if the state doesn't continue to pr provide ovide operating support, it did largely construct the campuses and could demand some performance results in return. In using the term privatization, staff staff is not assuming any a ny particular configuration of   policies other than little or no General Fund support for operating operating expenses. 18-Nov-09

If an institution could successfully operate independent of state support, then it would continue offering an economic benefit to the community, which is an advantage over the policy option of  closing institutions. Both privatization and closing instit institutions utions would reduce the low-cos low-costt higher  education opportunities in the the state. A privatized institution that maintains some ties to the state could, conceivably, still offer some degree of preferential tuition and financial aid to Colorado residents, but expectations in this area would need to be tempered by the need of the institution to earn revenue to replace lost General Fund. To successfully privatize, an institution would need to draw students in Colorado and nationally who are willing and able to pay the higher tuition necessary to backfil backfilll lost General Fund revenue. Also, the smaller the difference between current tuition rates and the amount necessary to backfill lost General Fund revenue, the easier to imagine the privatization succeeding (i.e., the institution doesn't fail). For illustrating this this policy option, staff selected selected the CU Boulder campus. The General Assembly could consider experimenting with a smaller institution with strong nonresident enrollment, such as Western State College, Fort Lewis College, or the Colorado School of Mines, but these three institutions together don't receive as much General Fund as CU Boulder, and so privatizing them would result in less savings. Colorado's constitution specificall specifically y calls for a public higher education institution in Boulder under the control of the the Regents. The legislature would need to consider what it means to be a public institution institution with little or no General Fund for operating expenses. Also, the Boulder campus is part of a system and the legislature would need to consider how privatizing it would impact the other campuses. Would the Colorado Springs and Denver campuses be pr privatized ivatized as well? CU's leadership has testified testified on several occasions that it does not believe the Anschutz Medical Campus could survive without continued state support. For these estimates staff used the FY 2008-09 actual stipends and fee-for-service contracts, not including ARRA money, and the FY 2009-10 estimated resident and nonresident tuition from the CU budget data book.

 Nonresident tuition revenue for CU can be complicated to forecast. CU's already high nonresident rates may be near a threshold where rate increases impact enrollment, and a difference of just 40 students could change revenue by $1.0 million. CU offers nonresident undergraduat undergraduates es a guaranteed tuition rate for four years, and so nonresident rate increases take time to work through the system, 18-Nov-09

For these reasons staff modeled just the ffive ive  percent per year increase in nonresident tuition included in the Governor's request, and assumed roughly one quarter of the students would pay the higher rate. If CU raised resident undergraduate and graduate tuition rates 18 percent for two years, it could fully replace the $63.9 million General Fund support currently provided by the state.

Current law requires institutions to set aside 20 percent of tuition rate increases in excess of inflation for need based financial aid. For CU to replace the lost General Fund and set aside 20 percent pe rcent of  resident tuition rate increases for financial aid would require a 22.5 percent increase each year for  two years. In two years CU would would set aside $14.6 million for need based financial aid. If the state pursued this strategy, CU Boulder's tuition would probably be one of the highest in the west outside of California, but not out-of-line with public institutions in the mid-west and on the east coast. The table below shows how CU's tuition would compare to a sampling of other insti institutions, tutions, using a conservative assumption that those institutions raise tuition only 3.0 percent each year over  the two-year period.

It is probably unreasonable to assume CU could match the quality and amenities of the other institutions without similar state support. This probable disparity in services, along with differ differences ences in local economics and attitudes about tuition, make it difficult to assess if students and families in Colorado would pay these rates for a privatized institution.

These tuition rate increases would not provide funds for CU to replace los lostt ARRA money money.. CU Boulder's share of the ARRA money in FY 2008-09 was $22.3 million. If the expectation is that CU Boulder replace this revenue with tuition, as opposed to operating reductions, the institution would need to implement larger rate increases. However, only part of the ARRA money is going aw away ay in FY 2010-11, and so the institution could bank some of the increased revenue from tuition rate increases in that year year to help address the the projected shortfall in FY 2011-12. This would allow CU Boulder to push some of the ARRA cliff to FY 2012-13 and spread tuition rate increases to backfill lost ARRA funds over three years. These tuition rate increases also wouldn't provide CU Boulder any margin for salary and benefit increases, inflation, or quality improvement improvement initiatives. Staff is unsure how this compares with the expectations for other state agencies during the same time period. It could be better than the standard for other state agencies, if the legislature pursues policies like the reduction in the PERA contribution proposed by the Governor. As with closing closing institutions, privatizing institutions may lead to student migration. If students choose to attend, for example, CSU Fort Collins instead of CU Boulder, because of the significant tuition rate increases at CU Boulder, it would offset some of the savings associated with privatizing CU Boulder. It could also make make it harder for CU Boulder Boulder to replace lost General Fund with tuition if the campus experiences a net loss of enrollment. If privatization privatization included additional flexibility regarding nonresident enrollment caps, there could be a net statewide gain in enrollment that might have indirect impacts on the economy. CU Boulder is characterized in the constitution as a statewide institution and this is reflected in the governance structure structure and, to some degree, enrollment enrollment patterns of the institution. Arguably,  privatizing an institution like CU Boulder spreads the burden of budget reductions more broadly across the state than closing small regional institutions.

FY 2010-11 Joint Budget Committee Staff Budget Briefing Department of Higher Education BRIEFING ISSUE ISSUE: Proportional reductions

This issue brief discusses ways reductions for higher education can be proportional  but not equitable, and factors to consider in evaluating proportional proportion al reductions relative to other cost saving strategies. SUMMARY: ‘

Proportional reductions are perceived as the fairest approach, and have historically been the dominant strategy employed by the General Assembly for reducing higher education.



Proportional reductions based on General Fund can be harder or easier for institutions to absorb according to the availability of tuition revenue and the scope of indirect cost recoveries from auxiliary activities.



Proportional reductions based on total funds can penalize pe nalize students already paying a higher  share of their education costs, reduce the value of entrepreneurial efforts in recruiting and other areas, and reward inefficient institutions.



If reductions are deep and long-term, proportional allocations may result in the state doing lots of things poorly, rather than doing some things mediocre to well and some things not at all.

DISCUSSION:

An across the board reduction in General Fund for all higher education institutions is often perceived as the fairest approach. The allocations of the higher education economic benefit to each student and community are reduced reduced by the same amount per dollar. Also, spreading reductions over a large number of institutions mitigates the impact on any given institution or student. Proportional reductions of one form or another have historically been the dominant, bordering on exclusive,  policy approach employed by the legislature for reducing higher education expenditures. However, reductions that are described as proportional do not always have equitable impacts on every campus by every measure. For example, a reduction based on each governing board's share of General Fund appropriations will be disproportionately harder to manage for an institution like Adams State College than the CSU System, because Adams State College relies much more heavily on the General Fund for operating expenses.

In addition, the CSU System can spread administrative costs over a larger and more robust array of  auxiliary programs programs than can Adams State College. Portions of the instructors' instructors' salaries can be charged to federally funded research grants, and private private giving is more more significant. None of these are factors in a proportional reduction, but they all contribute to a governing board's b oard's ability to absorb a proportional reduction. The potential inequities of a proportional General Fund reduction can be compounded by tuition  policies that provide more tuition spending authority autho rity to institutions that already raise significant revenue from tuition. Last year, year, the Governor proposed, proposed, and the legislature authorized, ttuition uition increases of 9.0 percent for research institutions, 7.0 percent for 4-year colleges, and 5.0 percent for  community colleges. Not only would a proportional General Fund reduction that year have been easier to manage for institutions with large amounts of tuition in their base appropriation, but those institutions would also have enjoyed the largest offsetting tuition rate increases. The ability of institutions to absorb proportional reductions needs to be a consideration in evaluating whether economic benefits to students and communities are really being reduced equitably. equitably. If   proportional reductions cause an institution to fail to thrive, then those proportional reductions represent a disproportionate burden to the community and students, even though the reduction in funding per base dollar is the same as elsewhere in the state. An alternative to a proportional reduction based on General Fund is a proportional reduction based on total funds including tuition. Some institutions with large large amounts of tuition revenue argue tthat hat this penalizes them for being entrepreneurial, especially in tthe he recruitment of nonresidents. It also  potentially penalizes students that are already being asked to pay a higher higher proportion of the the cost of  their education. Part of the analysis of different proportional reductions for higher education hinges on why there are a re disparities in state support between institutions. Are the disparities because some institutions institutions need the additional state funds to provide services given the parameters of their student population and course offerings? Or are they because these institutions are are inefficient, poor at recruiting, offeri offering ng an inferior product, lacking in support from their local community, and/or insufficiently entrepreneurial in finding ways ways to pay for themselves? themselves? If the later, a proportional proportional reduction based on General Fund may make more sense than a proportional p roportional reduction on total funds. 18-Nov-09

Analyzing the benefits of proportional reductions versus other strategies also boils down to  perceptions about the depth and duration of reductions. A short term term storm can be weathered with  proportional reductions. reductions. But, if if the choice is between doing lots of things poorly for a long time, or  doing some things mediocre to well and some things not at all, then other policy options may be more attractive.

FY 2010-11 Joint Budget Committee Staff Budget Briefing Department of Higher Education BRIEFING ISSUE ISSUE:

Eliminating financial aid for private institutions SUMMARY: ‘

Maintenance of effort requirements for the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Maintenance Reinvestment Act do not apply to financial aid appropriations.



In FY 2009-10 the Colorado Commission on Higher Education allocated $8.2 million financial aid for private institutions. Another $911,000 General Fund was appropriated for  stipend-eligible students attending participating private institutions.

DISCUSSION:

The maintenance of effort requirement of the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) applies to appropriations for higher education institutions, and specifically not to appropriations for financial financial aid. The impact of reducing financial aid is self evident, but there are ways to target reductions based on policy criteria. For example, the state could choose to prioritize financial aid only for students attending state-supported state-supported institutions. As shown in the table on the following page, in FY 2009-10 the Colorado Commission on Higher Education has allocated $8.2 million financial aid for private institutions. Another $911,000 General Fund was appropriated for stipend-eligible students attending  participating private institutions. To be eligible for a stipend at a participating private institution, a student must meet the federal Pell Grant need-based criteria. Also, the stipend amount for a student attending a participating private institution is half the amount for students attending state supported institutions. During debate on the College Opportunity Fund legislation, some legislators legislators argued that the ability of students to spend the stipend at private institutions was a critical component of making the case that stipends are the property of the student and not a state grant for purposes of  determining the enterprise eligibility of institutions under TABOR.
