The State University of New York

The enacted budget makes the following changes to the Executive Budget (analysis as of July 1, 2010):

Rejects at this time the New York State Public Higher Education Empowerment and Innovation Act, but the issue remains under discussion focusing on a possible pilot program for some University Centers.

Adds $4.6 billion to the SUNY All Funds appropriation; all in Special Revenue Other appropriations; these funds were not originally in the Executive Budget appropriations because the proposed SUNY Empowerment Act would move these funds off budget. SUNY’s SFY 2010-11 All Funds appropriation is a $117 million increase from its SFY 2009-10 enacted budget All Funds appropriation.

Maintains the $2.1 million appropriation for SUNY hospitals in the Hospital Income Reimbursable Program (a $122.4 million increase over the FY 2009-10 enacted budget appropriation). Provides some specific detail as to how these appropriations are split between the hospitals but no longer provides specific appropriations for personal services and many non-personal service items:

ü Provides $896.25 million for SUNY Stony Brook Health Science Center (HSC), a $35.35 million increase over last year’s enacted budget appropriation. $729 million is for “services and expenses” and $146.3 million is for fringe benefits.

ü Provides $601.3 million for SUNY Downstate HSC, a $35.95 million increase over last year’s enacted budget appropriation. $487.5 million is for “services and expenses” and $107.6 million is for fringe benefits.

ü Provides $607.05 million for SUNY Upstate HSC, a $51 million increase over last year’s enacted budget appropriation. $494.4 million is for “services and expenses” and $91 million is for fringe benefits

Maintains a $616.966 million appropriation for the Doctoral and HSC program which was not specifically appropriated in the Executive Budget. This represents a $643.47 million cut from the SFY 2009-10 enacted appropriation for this program. There are also no longer any specific appropriations for the three HSCs under this appropriation. Last year the three HSCs received $498.4 million under this appropriation. The Division of Budget has assured PEF that this is an accounting issue and will have no impact on the operations of the HSCs but this issue should be raised at statewide labor management.

The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 19, 2010)

An estimated 41,815 positions in SUNY, which is 37 positions more than the SFY 2009-2010 estimate of 41,778, according to the Workforce Impact Summary Report. The Executive Budget of SFY 2009-2010 initially recommended a SUNY workforce of 40,632.

$62.5 million for Consulting Services Contracts, which would pay for 3,195 contract employees in 2010-2011. This represents a (-$1.5 million) decrease in spending from 2009-2010, and a reduction of (-200) contract employees. These employment numbers are not calculated on an FTE basis, so it is difficult to draw conclusions about the costs.

A $2.9 billion All Funds State Operations budget ($2.3 billion General Fund and $600 million Other Funds) a $4.5 billion reduction from the SFY 2009-10 enacted appropriation, which includes:

o A $4.4 billion decrease in tuition and other revenues generated by SUNY to reflect the Governor’s proposal to move these revenues off-budget in order to give SUNY greater flexibility. This revenues still exist they are not just reflected in the proposed Executive Budget.

o A $148.8 million decrease in direct General Fund support for the operations of SUNY state-operated colleges and university programs, which will be allocated by the Board of Trustees. This reduction includes a $30.9 million personal service savings to be negotiated.

o A $19.7 million decrease in direct General Fund Support for the four Statutory Colleges at Cornell and a $1.4 million decrease in support for the College of Ceramics at Alfred University. This reduction includes $2.6 million personal service to be negotiated.

o A $53.8 million academic year reduction in Community College base operating aid; an11 percent cut.

$2.1 billion for the SUNY hospitals from patient and other revenue generated by SUNY’s three teaching hospitals which DOB claims represents no cut from last year’s similar appropriation.

Maintains the SFY 2009-10 SUNY hospital subsidy of $128.7 million. The appropriation language for this subsidy allows the SUNY Board of Trustees to use a portion of it to receive up to $48 million in federal funds for uncompensated care (so called “DSH payments” which require a 50% match; SUNY hospitals would have to put up $24 million to get $48 million in new federal funds). The American Resource and Recovery Act allows hospitals to “spin up” these federal payments in this fiscal year because such payments generally take place several years after the uncompensated care was provided. This means SUNY hospitals will receive less federal “DSH” payments in future years to reflect the additional funds they took in this fiscal year.

· The “New York State Public Higher Education Empowerment and Innovation Act, which is in section E of the Education, Labor and Family Assistance Article VII Legislation. Among other things, the proposed Act would do the following:

o Move tuition outside the State budget process, allowing SUNY and CUNY to receive and disburse revenues from tuition and self-supporting activities without an appropriation.

o Authorizes the Boards of Trustees for SUNY and CUNY to implement a tuition policy that would allow the institutions the discretion to raise tuition incrementally up to an annual cap of two and a half times the five-year rolling average of the Higher Education Price Index (HEPI).

o Authorizes the SUNY and CUNY trustees to implement differential tuition rates within their systems.

o Allow SUNY and CUNY greater flexibility regarding procurement of goods, contractual and construction services and the lease of property. Giving SUNY greater contract flexibility raises some concerns as to how SUNY would use this flexibility particularly as relates to privatization

o SUNY estimates that reforms under the Act would “create more than 2,200 faculty positions, 7,000 staff positions, 43,000 construction jobs on SUNY University and Medical Centers,” according to the Governor’s office, which also said the Act would “expand access to higher education by allowing campuses to accommodate an additional 20,000 students above planned targets”.

SUNY’s appropriation bill no longer itemizes spending for the SUNY hospitals because all of their revenue is self-generated and is off budget under the Governor’s proposed flexibility legislation. Therefore we will only provide an overall spreadsheet for SUNY appropriations which appears on the next page. HOWEVER SUNY MANAGEMENT SHOULD HAVE DETAILED BUDGETS FOR ALL SUNY HOSPITALS AND THEY SHOULD BE REQUESTED THROUGH STATEWIDE LABOR MANAGEMENT.
