TRUSTEES APPROVE $375-MILLION BUDGET FOR I.U. SYSTEM

Indiana University trustees have approved a 1976-77 operating budget of $374,9-million of which $121.9-million (32.5 per cent) was appropriated to the eight I.U. campuses by the 1976 General Assembly. The balance of the funds, $253-rnillion (67.5 per cent), will come from student instructional and dormitory fees ,, government and private gifts and grants, revenues from hospitals, and other income from sales and services. Approval carne at the board's Ju\e~ 2 meeting at Richmond.

I.U. President John WY ~an said tha~ the balanced budget is designed to provide higher education of outstanding quality, built on a base of solid financial support and guided by a prudent expenditure philosophy.

The new budget is $33.6-rnillion (9.8 per cent) above last year's figure of $341.3-rnillion and includes projected cost of operating the I.U. Hospitals, the dormitory systems at Bloomington and Indianapolis, campus bookstores, student union facilities, other auxiliary enterprises, research grants and contracts, and student financial aid and instructional costs.

The general educational fund accounts for $187.3-rnillion (about half) of the 1976-77 budget. The instructional program is supported almost entirely (89 per cent) from state appropriation and student fee income. The new general educational fund budget reflects both inflationary pressures and student enrollment increases and is $17.7-million over 1975-76. More than 80,000 students are expected to attend I.U. this fall.

The Bloomington operating budget totals $107-rnillion, an increase of 8.7 per cent.

The Indianapolis campus budget is $48.6-million, an increase of 12.7 per cent. Personnel compensation accounts for $31.9-rnillion (65.6 per cent) of the total, an increase of $3-rnillion. Of the $3-rnillion, $1.6-rnillion was allocated to compensation of continuing staff. The rest, $1.4-rnillion, was used to staff additions for program development and enrollment increases.

Five regional campuses have 1976-77 budgets of $21.8-rnillion, up 13.3 per cent. A break­down by regional campus follows:

East (Richmond) Kokomo Northwest (Gary) South Bend Southeast (New Albany)

$1,287,305 2,590,253 6,776,198 7,055,291 4,112,167
