Daetwyler, USC system vice president for finance and operations. One budget, a line-item budget, includes requests from department heads and deans of the various colleges and schools on campus. This budget is presented to the provost, who then gives it to the finance office. The Commission on Higher Education requires all public colleges and universities to present a budget by a prescribed formula so they can make recommendations to the state legislature. The commission's formula is based on a ratio of faculty to students. All credit hours for all courses taught at the university 1 J 1 1 * are auueu up ana aiviaea Dy a common denominator: 15 for undergraduate, 12 for graduate and nine for doctoral level courses. This gives the FTE, full-time equivalent, enrollment figure. INSTRUCTIONAL costs in the formula are derived from faculty salaries plus faculty support, which includes secretaries, deans, department heads, clerks, equipment and supplies from the academic area. Ten percent of the total instructional costs is added to support the libraries, including book costs and operations.

Institutional costs, which include administrative rnntn student counseling and the president's salary, are added at 26 percent of the total instructional costs. These figures are totaled. Student fees and all other university revenues are subtracted from this amount, leaving the lump sum state appropriation requested. UNDER STEPS 12 and 13 of the formula, the university can ask for special funding in addition to that provided by the formula. Step 13 requests funding for separately budgeted research, including operation of special bureaus and institutes. The formula hiiricrot to fkon - ?
