Two versions of the university!
budget are prepared in the:
university's finance office, according
to Bernard A. 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

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.
Maintenance costs of the
university come from an average
of three previous years' actual

expenditures, but this figure can
not exceed 31 percent of the instructional
costs, according to the
commission's formula.
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.

presented to the commission, but
the line-item budget is submitted to
the Budget and Control Board. The
commission later presents its
recommendations according to the
formula to the board. Dick Hutto,
state budget analyst, said the
board mainly goes by the line-item

The board then prints requests

copy also goes to each representative
and senator.
Hutto said the state auditor and
assistant auditor meet with the
committee to answer any questions
members may have.
