Summary of Financial Capacity

• State tax support is flat, similar to other campuses across the U.S.

• We are increasingly dependent on tuition revenue and continue to experience enrollment volatility

• Most of our resources are in existing base budget: We need to be very thoughtful about how we deploy these resources going forward

• Need to continue to engage in cross-divisional planning activities to align our recurring sources and uses -- to sustain our financial future and our ability to embrace new opportunities

What is Integrated Planning?

• Integrated planning is the linking of vision, priorities, people, and the physical institution in a flexible system of evaluation, decision-making and action

• It shapes and guides the entire organization as it evolves over time and within its community

Budget Model: Guiding PrinciplesStrategy We align incentives with our mission and with strategic behaviors

Predictability We build models that provide reliable foundations for planning

Flexibility We build planning models that anticipate and are responsive to changes in

the economic environment; we incorporate appropriate risk management strategies

Integration We consider the university as a whole and make intentional connections

between varying types of organizational needs and priorities

Stewardship We exercise prudence in managing our resources, diversify revenues to

promote resilience, maintain appropriate reserves, and reward efficiency and effectiveness Source: Buffalo State Vice President for Finance and Management

Appendix 17: Glossary, Page 1 of 2• All Funds – For Buffalo State, the total of all state appropriated funds (core operating, IFR, DIFR, SUTRA), Buffalo State College

Foundation, and The Research Foundation for SUNY

• Appropriation – The authority to spend up the amount indicated and for the purpose stated

• Capital Debt Service – The cost of debt service for academic buildings, paid by New York State on behalf of SUNY and campuses; included in the Indirect State Tax Support component to SUNY and campuses

• Core Budget (Core Operating Budget) – The core budget is a combination of State tax dollar and University generated income support for direct instruction, academic support and institutional support activities. This funding may also be referred to as the campus financial plan, core instructional budget, operation budget, or state purpose budget.

• Dormitory Income Fund Reimbursable Account (DIFR) – A self-supported fund dedicated to residence hall operations and funded from room rental fees and charges

• Earmarks – Funds that may come to the campus through legislative programs or intent

• Foundation - Buffalo State College Foundation, Inc.

• Income Fund Reimbursable (General IFR) – a self-supported fund dedicated to campus operations and funded from revenues generated by campus programs and broad based fees (student activity fee, transportation fee, technology fee, student health fee,etc.)

• Indirect State Tax Support – New York State payments on behalf of SUNY and campuses for debt service on academic buildings (non-residential buildings) and fringe benefit costs for employees funded from core operations

• J-Term: January term

Appendix 17: Glossary, Page 2 of 2• OAP: Overseas Academic Programs

• Pooled Offset – State tax support is reduced by an amount equal to the fringe benefit collections in the special revenue funds (IFR, DIFR, SUTRA); SUNY keeps the collected fringe benefit charges in lieu of State tax support. This revenue is distributed to campuses as if were State tax support, generally in proportion to the total campus state support and is part of the “State and Other Support” component.

• Restricted Funds – Funds that must be used, or are designated expressly, for a particular purpose or activity

• Revenue or Revenue Support – Funds to support campus financial plans generated primarily from tuition, certain fees, interest earnings, overhead assessments, indirect cost recovery, fringe benefits, and sponsor support

• RF - The Research Foundation for SUNY

• State and Other Support – Includes state taxpayer dollars, pooled offset funds, and interest

• State Fringe – The cost of fringe benefits paid by New York State on behalf of individuals paid from the core operations budget; included in the Indirect State Tax Support component to SUNY and campuses

• State Funds – Those funds appropriated through the New York State budgetary process (core operations, IFR, DIFR, SUTRA)

• Direct State Tax Support – State Tax Support provided to SUNY and campuses, from state taxpayer dollars

• State University Tuition Reimbursable Account (SUTRA) – a special revenue fund dedicated to campus operations and funded from tuition revenue collected from summer session, contract courses, overseas academic programs and excess tuition revenue from the core operations budget

• Unrestricted Funds – Funds that may be used for any purpose in support of the organization’s mission
