AGENDA ITEM NO. 9:FUNDING FORMULA FOR THE 2015-17 BIENNIUM
Tara Smith
Senior Associate Director, Institutional Finance
Funding Formula Overview
1. 2-YR College Need-Based Funding Formula updates
2. Technical Institutes Need-Based Funding Formula updates
3. University Need-Based Funding Formula updates
4. Non-Formula Funding Recommendation updates
Funding Formula Components
Needs-based Elements – Two-Year Colleges
• Only changes for new biennium are inflationary adjustments to tuition rates, faculty salary and student services rates
Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) Faculty: Total number of FTE faculty needed is calculated by assigning each SSCH generated to one of four weighted categories.
General Education 22 students / 660 SSCHTechnical Education 16 students / 480 SSCHBasic Skills 16 students / 480 SSCHAllied Health 12 students / 360 SSCH
Funding Formula Components
Needs-based Elements – Two-Year Colleges
Faculty Salaries: The total FTE faculty is adjusted for part-time faculty. Institutions with < 3,000 FTE students• Of the total FTE faculty, seventy (70) percent are considered full-time
and thirty (30) percent are considered part-time. • Full-time salary is equal to the projected SREB average for 2015-17. • Part-time salary is equal to fifty (50) percent of the calculated full-
time salary.
Funding Formula Components
Needs-based Elements – Two-Year Colleges
Institutions with >3,000 FTE students• Of the total FTE faculty, fifty (50) percent are considered full-time and
fifty (50) percent are considered part-time. • Full-time salary is equal to the projected SREB average for 2015-17.• Part-time salary is equal to fifty (50) percent of the calculated full-
time salary.
Funding Formula Components
Needs-based Elements – Two-Year Colleges
Student Services Rates: Student Services is calculated based on a variable rate per student using the mean of FTE students and headcount. The updated rates are:
$772/student for the first 750 students
$548/student for the next 2,250 students
$340/student for all students over 3,000
Funding Formula ComponentsNeeds-based Elements – Technical Institutes
• Only changes for new biennium are inflationary adjustments to tuition rates, faculty salary and student services rates
Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) Faculty: Total number of FTE faculty needed is calculated by assigning SSCH generated to one of four weighted categories.
General Education 22 students / 660 SSCHTechnical Education 16 students / 480 SSCHBasic Skills 16 students / 480 SSCHAllied Health 12 students / 360 SSCH
Faculty Salaries: The total FTE faculty generated above is multiplied by the average faculty salary for technical institutes in the SREB region.
Funding Formula Components
Needs-based Elements – Technical Institutes
Student Services Rates: Student Services is calculated based on a variable rate per FTE. The updated rates are:
$150,000 flat amount for the first 200 FTE
$536/FTE for all FTE above 200
Funding Formula ComponentsNeeds-based Elements – Four-Year Universities• Changes for new biennium include inflationary adjustments to tuition
rates, faculty salaries and to pursue a change in legislation to add a fringe benefits component
This formula provides equal funding for similar levels and disciplines at each university and determines the minimum level of funding needed for each university. Full-Time Equivalent Faculty: Faculty Load Factors (SSCH Required to Produce One FTE Faculty)
Undergraduate Graduate DoctoralCost Category I 645 175 130Cost Category II 480 250 145Cost Category III 365 160 120Cost Category IV 230 102 70
Funding Formula Components
Needs-based Elements – Four-Year Universities
The total number of FTE faculty needed is determined by dividing the faculty load factors into the SSCH enrollment matrix for each institution’s latest enrollment. This determines for Arkansas the number of FTE faculty needed at each of the three levels.
Faculty Salaries: Each institution receives the same faculty salary amount per its SSCH in the four cost categories and at each level. Since the other expenditure function computations are a percentage of faculty salaries all institutions receive the same funding recommendation for the same kind of SSCH.*
* The 2012-13 SREB faculty salary for each level is inflated to the 2015-17 biennium.
Funding Formula ComponentsNeeds-based Elements – Four-Year Universities
Proposed Fringe Benefit Rate:
• ADHE staff in consultation with presidents & chancellors recommend pursuing a change in legislation to add a fringe benefits component to the university model.
• It is proposed that fringe benefits would be calculated at 8½% - Current matching rate for social security, Medicare, unemployment and worker’s compensation
Funding Formula Components
Needs-based Elements – Non-FormulaThe recommendation for new funds for non-formula entities will be developed using a nominal percentage for the continuing level of programs plus programmatic justification for enhancements and/or expansions.

College Performance Results
Funding Impact
• The implementation of the funding component shall not progress beyond 10% of an institution’s base funding until all institutions are funded at 75% of needed state funding
• 2 institutions did not meet the minimum required score of 6SAUT: 5.58

• If budget cuts occur, ADHE will not further implement the funding component until such time funding is restored to the 2012-2013 fiscal year level.
• ADHE will work in consultation with the Presidents & Chancellors to develop a Performance Funding Distribution policy that will be presented to the AHECB in July– Policy will include methodologies for the funding impact and distribution of
performance funds

Current 4-Year University Graduation Rates (IPEDS/ADHE) are from 38.0%-40.8% and for 2-Year Colleges are from 17.9%-20.8%.
