Kansas Board of Regents Uniform Format and Information to be included in State Universities’ Tuition Proposals – FY 2016 Format and Information to be Included in Proposals The uniform format and brief description of each section and appendix is described below. For the FY 2016 proposals, the narrative of the proposal includes the following sections: Section A. Displays the universities’ proposed FY 2016 tuition rates applicable to all students within the designated categories (undergraduate resident, graduate resident, undergraduate nonresident and graduate non- resident). Tuition rates are shown on a per credit hour basis or flat-rate basis, depending on the university’s tuition structure. ESU and PSU charge on a flat-rate basis. Reference Appendix A – a Comparison of Approved FY 2015 and Proposed FY 2016 Tuition and Required Fees for Full-time Students, Per Semester by Category. Section B. Displays any proposed course fee rates charged to specific students for specific academic programs, including a five-year historical trend of the course fee rates. Section C. Presents any proposed changes to the university’s tuition structure Section D. Summarizes any other tuition or fee proposals that require the Board’s approval, including tuition and fee waivers pursuant to K.S.A. 76-719c. If utilized, the proposals are described in Appendix D and include a detailed description of the proposal(s). Section E. Discusses student and other campus community involvement in the development and/or review of proposals, including detailed information such as number of meetings, how many individual students were involved, discussion of steps taken to ensure understanding among students and what the tuition dollars will finance. Section F. Discuss briefly the projected increase from tuition revenues, describing both the projected increase attributed to rates and the projected increase/decrease attributed to enrollment projections. Describe the proposed need/uses for increased tuition revenues as follows: (1) amount of tuition increase necessary to fund “existing basic operations”. This category includes expenses that are non-discretionary, such as utilities, fringe benefit rates, etc. (2) Amount of tuition increase required in order to finance a proposed salary plan; (3) amount of increase necessary for other institutional enhancement(s) listing individually each proposed enhancement; as well as the planned uses of increased tuition revenues (Appendix F-1). Also, a discussion of how the proposed increase would affect the carry forward balances in the General Fees Fund and justification for the level of targeted balances (Appendix F-2). A general discussion of enrollment management strategies (Appendix F-3) a 1% estimated increase in tuition revenues by student category and level, and the university’s history in projecting tuition revenues compared to actual tuition revenues generated (Appendix F- 4).

Section G. Describes the measures taken to keep proposals as modest as possible, including a specific description and details about the steps taken to propose a level of tuition that is as small as possible. Also, a detailed discussion of planned reallocations or savings listed on Appendix F1 that will be used to finance expenditures listed on Appendix F-1. Section H. Describes student proposed adjustments to required student fees (also known as campus privilege fees or specific fees proposed by students for specific restricted use expenditures). See Appendix H for the Financial Impact Statements for Additional Information Regarding Student Proposed Adjustments to Required Student Fees. The appendices include: Appendix A is a uniform chart by category that compares the proposal’s tuition and required fees and the dollar and percentage change to the current approved figures. Appendix D is a detailed description of any other tuition or fee proposals that require the Board’s approval. With regard to tuition and fee waivers, Board policy provides that specifically “the Board shall review and approve the standards, conditions and requirements designed to foster the growth, distinction, and stability of the state educational institution and the quality of its educational programs and pursuits.” State university proposals shall include a statement of purpose, eligibility requirements, award/waiver amounts, financial impact, and a description of the assessment that will be used to measure the efficacy of the award/waiver in achieving the stated goal. Typically, proposals shall be submitted to the Board for first reading in May and for final action in June of the year prior to the effective date of the program, i.e., a program approved in June 2015 would be effective for the fall 2015 semester. Estimated fiscal impact would first occur in FY 2016. Appendix F-1 is an analysis of required, non-discretionary expenditure increases, other targeted expenditure increases i.e. salary increases, resources necessary to advance Foresight 2020 and a university-specific strategic plan, projected tuition and required fee revenues, and reallocations or savings used to finance proposed expenditures. The analysis is based on the assumption of “flat” SGF appropriations. Appendix F-2 is a table of the General Fees Fund (FY 2012-FY 2016). Appendix F-3 displays a 1% estimated increase in tuition revenues by student category and level. Appendix F-4 is a table of projected tuition revenue increases compared to actual tuition revenue increases (FY 2012-FY 2016) Appendix H – Student Proposed Required Student Fee Adjustments – Financial Impact Statement which includes the following narrative sections: Description of the Overall Net Fee Adjustment, Justification for fee adjustment (s), Review of Individual Fee Adjustment(s), Projection of Revenue From and the Number of Students Affected by Fee Adjustments, and Projected Impact of Fee Adjustment(s) on Student Enrollment.

FY 2016 TUITION AND FEE PROPOSALS UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Highlights of the University of Kansas tuition proposal:        

Two-thirds of returning KU undergraduates will have NO tuition increase. Undergraduate residents will see a 3.6% tuition increase. At the Lawrence campus nonresident undergraduates and all graduate students will see tuition rise by 3.8%. At the Medical Center, all other students, including medical students, will see tuition rise by 6.0%. First-time freshman, fall of 2015, will be assessed standard tuition unless they opt into the compact rate. For those first-time freshmen, fall of 2015, opting into the new compact rate, their tuition will be 3.6% for resident and 3.8% for nonresident over the previous year compact rates and will not be increased for four years. KU Lawrence Campus students will be assessed a $5.00/credit hour Infrastructure Fee going toward student learning and space improvements. Student members of the Tuition Advisory Committee (TAC) sought to balance academic needs and affordability. Retaining talented faculty and improving the student classroom experience were high priorities. The university’s strategic plan, Bold Aspirations, was key in framing the discussion and setting priorities.

Pharm D. Compact Tuition Rates New Pharm D. students starting in Fall 2015 will see a 1.0% tuition increase. The increase reflects a zero percent increase in course fees, the new infrastructure fee, and KU’s desire to maintain Pharmacy’s marketability for resident and nonresident students. Nationwide, applications for pharmacy schools have declined, which has increased the competition for new students. Keeping tuition and course fees as low as possible will help keep the best Kansas students and attract prospective nonresident students. Approved Proposed FY 2016 FY 2015 Tuition Rate Tuition Rate

(1) The fixed-rate, guaranteed tuition for the four-year Pharm. D. program includes 100% of all tuition and fee-related charges: tuition, course fees, campus fees, and infrastructure fees.

Other Tuition Rates The School of Education online programs will see a decrease in tuition rates. Tuition rates were initially set too high for this new online program and enrollment numbers did not justify those rates. KU will strategically position these programs in a rapidly changing online environment to better meet the market’s pricing. This will increase enrollment numbers and improve the program’s net revenue.

B. FY 2016 PROPOSED COURSE FEE RATES FOR SPECIFIED PROGRAMS (specific students for specified programs), include a five-year historical trend for all course fee rates The School of Business will have no course fee increases for FY 2016.

C. PROPOSED CHANGES TO TUITION STRUCTURE First-time freshman, fall of 2015, will be assessed at the standard tuition rate unless they choose to participate in the compact. Previous freshman classes did not have the option to select the standard rate. As a result of this change, we anticipate tuition revenues could decline by $2,500,000. D.

The S.J.D. program is the Law School’s most successful international law program. Approximately half of the S.J.D. students are funded by a third party, typically a student’s home country government. The S.J.D. program at KU is underpriced in the current market. There is no advantage to keeping these fees low as most students do not bear the burden of the cost of the program. The S.J.D. program fees would increase to $5,000 per semester for students entering the program in or after the fall of 2015. Students admitted to the program prior to the fall of 2015 would continue at the rate of $1,000 per semester. Revenues would increase from an average of $40,000 to $200,000 annually and would cover on-going costs associated with the program. E. DESCRIPTION OF STUDENT AND OTHER CAMPUS COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IN DEVELOPMENT AND\OR REVIEW OF PROPOSALS

Lawrence and Edwards Campuses The Tuition Advisory Committee (TAC) is composed of eight students, two faculty, three deans, and five administrators (including one from the Medical Center) along with one staff support. The Lawrence campus students were recommended by the President of the student body. The faculty was recommended by faculty governance. The committee met seven times during the academic year to discuss a number of topics related to the FY 2015-16 tuition proposal. The TAC was mindful that any proposed tuition increase would have an impact on students with limited resources and supported a modest increase in tuition. Student members of the committee felt that rewarding faculty and staff with merit salary increases to maintain high quality faculty and staff was of utmost importance. The student members stated several times that the quality of their KU degrees is what is important to them and they want ensure the value continues into the future.

KUMC Campus The Tuition and Fees Committee at the University of Kansas Medical Center was comprised of 15 members, with representation from academic departments and members of the Division of Student Services. The committee also included two students, and the president and treasurer of the Student Governing Council. The committee met seven times during the spring. Departments requesting increases or new fees for programs were invited to the meetings to discuss their proposals and to answer any questions committee members might have. Additionally, the departments included student letters of support. The committee also was mindful of the impact of new fees on students but recognized the significant loss of state funds in recent years. F. PROJECTED TUITION AND FEE REVENUES AND PLANNED USES OF INCREASED REVENUES Discuss briefly the proposal’s (sections A,B,C, and D above) projected increase in tuition revenues, describing both the projected increase attributed to rates and the projected increase/decrease attributed to enrollment projections. Describe the proposed need/uses for increased tuition revenues as follows: (1) Amount of tuition increase necessary to fund “existing basic operations.” This category includes expenses that are non-discretionary, such as utilities, fringe benefit rates, etc. (2) Amount of tuition increase required to finance a proposed salary increase; (3) Amount of increase necessary for other institutional enhancement(s) listing individually each proposed enhancement. Lawrence and Edwards Campuses Required and other university specific expenditure increases are listed in Appendix F-1. The proposed FY 2016 KU tuition and course fee increases will generate $6,245,800 in additional ongoing funding for the Lawrence and Edwards campuses. The change in student mix along with projected enrollment growth will produce an additional $7,028,000, which has been committed to schools that are generating the growth. There are no recommended institutional enhancements to be funded from the proposed tuition increase. Covering Required Costs of $1,788,966 State General Fund (SGF) decreases related to changes in health insurance and KPERS rate changes will equal $1,419,515. Mandatory expenditures increases will be $369,451 even after accounting for the reduced health insurance costs. Required costs increases include utilities, faculty promotion/tenure salary adjustments, GTA salary adjustments required by the GTA memorandum, and cost of utilities and custodial care for the new Engineering buildings. Retaining Outstanding Faculty and Staff of $4,203,100 Consistent with the wishes expressed by the Tuition Advisory Committee, we would allocate a total of $4,203,100 to increase the overall compensation package and to retain outstanding faculty and staff. This amount will fund a merit pool equivalent to a 1.5% average increase for faculty, staff, graduate teaching assistants, and other student employees effective mid-year. In addition to the merit increase, schools and departments continue to work to keep outstanding faculty through retention offers. School-Specific Course Fees of $710,000 New revenue in the amount of $710,000 will be generated from increases in course fee that were previously approved by the board and will be used to address school specific needs. In all schools, individualized spending plans are approved by student advisory groups. The school specific needs include expenses such as: covering fringe rate increases and creating a salary merit pool for faculty and staff who are paid from course fees; and rising costs related to student financial aid, technology, supplemental educational experiences, and other aspects of the educational experience.

Allocations of Enrollment Growth Funds for Business and Engineering of $2,272,000 As endorsed by the Governor, the Legislature, and the Board of Regents, the Schools of Business and Engineering have embarked on strategic plans for growth. Funding to enable the deployment of these plans will be garnered from the tuition revenue generated from increased enrollment in these schools. The amounts shown below are based on enrollment growth that occurred during the 2014-2015 academic year at the FY 2016 proposed tuition rates. As noted in last year’s proposal, the School of Business continues to implement its strategic growth plan. In October 2013 the school celebrated the start of construction of its new $70.54 million building project. The building — which is currently planned to be a six-story, 166,000-square-foot structure — will be located on the east side of Naismith Drive, across from Allen Fieldhouse at the south entrance of campus. The project is expected to be completed by Fall 2016. About 25 percent of incoming KU freshmen express an interest in majoring in business. The new facility is expected to boost annual KU business graduates from 500 to 750 in the undergraduate program, and from 280 to 350 in the graduate program. Enrollment growth within the School of Business continues and the FY 2016 tuition proposal sets aside $772,000 to enable the school to better provide the additional faculty, staff, and other programming that will be needed to serve the students. As noted in last year’s proposal, the School of Engineering has seen phenomenal success in implementing its Building on Excellence Initiative. As part of its strategic plan, over the next several years the KU School of Engineering will:    

By 2021, increase by more than 60 percent the number of students graduating with bachelor’s degrees in engineering; Add faculty to match the growing enrollment and maintain the desirable student/faculty ratio of 23:1; Add support staff to lead expansion of student recruitment, retention, and support activities; and Add facilities that address high-tech research, classroom, and office space necessary for successful expansion. The proposed buildings, constructed in phases, will nearly double the amount of space available for KU School of Engineering activities and endeavors.

Enrollment growth has already occurred. The FY 2016 tuition proposal recognizes this essential investment and sets aside $1,500,000 to enable the school to accomplish its vital mission to the state. Online Education Growth of $1,250,000 KU will be producing several new online tuition programs and expanding current offerings in FY 2016. Start-up costs, marketing new programs, and initial enrollments will produce expenses of $1,250,000. Edwards Campus Growth of $550,000 The increasing enrollment at the KU Edwards Campus is based on the Edwards Campus growth model, these dollars will be used to provide instruction and academic support for all credit hours, including JCERT hours. This growth is projected even with the flat program fee. Carry forward balances. The tuition increase proposed for FY 2015 will not impact our carry forward balance strategy. We anticipate a carry forward balance of $18,095,000 which is necessary in order to cover commitments and continue operations during the summer as fall tuition is not collected until September. We will require $15,095,000 million to cover summer salaries with the balance of the carry forward being held for start-up commitments, renovations, and maintenance that is in progress, and equipment/technology and other purchases that are in process. Impact of Tuition Cap. If the 3.6% tuition cap were placed on all tuition rates, KU-Lawrence estimated tuition revenue would be reduced by $175,000. Proposed expenses would be adjusted to meet new estimates.

KUMC Campus The proposed tuition and course fee increases will generate approximately $2,422,367 in additional ongoing funding for the Medical Center campuses in Kansas City, Wichita and Salina. The projected enrollment growth is expected to produce an additional $650,460, which has been committed to the School of Medicine in Wichita. There are no recommended institutional enhancements to be funded from the proposed tuition increase. Covering Required Costs of $774,217 State General Fund (SGF) decreases related to health insurance and KPERS rate changes will equal $1,030,898. Mandatory KUMC expenditures will see savings totaling $256,681. The employer share for group health insurance will be reduced in FY 2016, KUMC will see a net decrease of $806,681 for various fringe benefit adjustments. Required costs include increases of $400,000 for utilities and $150,000 for faculty promotion/tenure salary adjustments. One time merit based salary increase and other salary expenditures of $1,883,333 We will allocate approximately $1,883,333 to provide a one-time merit based salary bonus to faculty and staff and fund other critical salary needs. KUMC has not been able to fund any centrally funded salary increase pools in most of the last 5 fiscal years. This modest amount would be directed to the highest merit faculty and staff to maintain quality employees, which is our highest priority. Bonus payments are being proposed at this time given the uncertainty in state funding for the coming years and the flexibility that will be needed to respond to our changing medical education environment. In FY 2017 we will have the option of providing another one-time based salary bonus or utilize these funds for permanent salary increases. A portion of these funds will be allocated to fund increased salary costs within the schools. Wichita Campus, New Student Enrollment of $650,460 The Wichita campus will continue its conversion to a full four year medical school in FY 2016. These funds will be used for the additional teaching efforts required for the increased enrollment. Nursing and Health Professions Support of $259,799 The School of Nursing would receive $41,286 and the School of Health Professions $218,513 from increased course fees to support faculty salaries which continue to lag behind our peer institutions. Impact of Tuition Cap. If the 3.6% tuition cap were placed on all tuition rates, KU-Medical Center estimated tuition revenue would be reduced by $922,222. It would not be possible to provide the planned one-time merit based salary increases. Rather, the modest increase in tuition revenue would be used to fund only mandatory expenditure increases and moderate increased personnel costs for a small number of new leadership positions in our Schools of Nursing and Health Professions. We will keep salaries competitive for highest merit faculty and staff across our campus. G. MEASURES TAKEN TO KEEP PROPOSALS AS MODEST AS POSSIBLE Include detailed descriptions of each of the identified reallocations/savings also listed on Appendix F-1 that would be used to finance the proposed expenditures KU has undertaken a variety of initiatives related to our strategic planning process which include an examination of administrative practices and procedures. The intent of these efforts is to identify resources to support mission critical and strategic initiatives. This process also allows us to focus tuition on programs that will directly support the quality of the student experience, including access to outstanding faculty and staff. Changing for Excellence, the review of KU's administrative practices and procedures began in April 2011. The university is now in its fourth year of implementing recommendations made by the KU. We identified ten business cases ranging from budgeting practices to information technology, each of which addresses inefficiencies or proposes enhancements to current administrative processes. Each of the individual business cases is being implemented by developing a timeline for implementation, tracking progress on individual projects, and monitoring the savings generated.

University of Kansas

Page 13

June 17, 2018

Huron Consulting Group recommended an overall timeline of five years for implementation and generation of savings. We anticipate most business cases will be implemented no later than the end of FY 2015. KUMC Campus Following major reorganization in facilities operations, Information Resources, and the Library, KUMC continues with an active program to drive organizational effectiveness and efficiency. Enterprise wide system enhancements such as a fully automated electronic procurement system have been implemented to improve basic purchasing needs of KUMC. Human Resources and payroll operations continue with systems review and improvement. Across the entire organization $5.5 million dollars will be reallocated and directed to pressing needs and critical mission programs in fiscal year 2016.

Appendix H Student Proposed Required Student Fee Adjustments (FY 2016) Financial Impact Statement State University: University of Kansas Lawrence Campus I.

DESCRIPTION OF FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

Campus fees required of full-time undergraduate and graduate students at the Lawrence campus will increase from $450.04 to $455.50 per semester in FY 2016. The fees for student health, recycling, bus procurement, office of multicultural affairs, student senate activity, and student union activities will be raised and the fees for renewable energy and sustainability, newspaper readership, and multicultural education will be reduced. II.

JUSTIFICATION FOR FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

Students and student leaders assume the full responsibility for initiating and reviewing any changes to the Required Campus Fees. All Required Campus Fees have a student advisory board and a university department providing administrative oversight. As a general rule, fee proposals will first be reviewed and approved by the appropriate student advisory board. Then the proposal will be reviewed and approved by the Student Senate Finance Committee and full Student Senate. Given student concern about how the economic climate is impacting the university services and the quality of education at KU, the University of Kansas Student Senate is proposing required campus fees at the Lawrence Campus increase by 1.2% in FY 2016 to $455.50 per semester for a full-time student. III.

REVIEW OF FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

Student Health Services (SHS) Operations SHS provides medical outpatient healthcare services, support services such as pharmacy and lab, and education regarding lifestyle choices and wellness. SHS is located in Watkins Student Health Center. Student Senate has proposed increasing fees from $118.44 to $122.00 for FY 2016. The increase to the SHS fee will provide additional resources of approximately $161,000 that will allow SHS to maintain current service levels as operational costs increase. Campus Environmental Improvement Fee - Recycling The Campus Environmental Improvement Fee for Recycling assists the campus community in developing and implementing waste reduction and recycling programs. It strives to make a positive impact on campus through service performance and efforts to encourage waste reduction and recycling. Student Senate has proposed increasing fees from $4.30 to $5.80 for FY 2016. The increase to the recycling fee will provide additional resources of approximately $67,725 to provide for additional student hourly staff and to help offset an estimated reduction of revenue by moving to single stream recycling. Campus Environmental Improvement Fee - Renewable Energy and Sustainability The Renewable Energy and Sustainability fee supports student led initiatives to promote a culture of sustainability on the Lawrence campus. Funds collected from this fee are allocated by a student advisory board towards projects that reduce energy costs and promote campus sustainability. Student Senate has proposed decreasing fees from $1.50 to $0 in FY 2016 until substantial projects are identified. The decrease will reduce revenue for Renewable Energy and Sustainability by approximately $67,725 in FY 2016.

June 17, 2018

Campus Transportation Fees KU Transit provides campus transportation for students both on campus and to many on and off-campus living communities. Student Senate has proposed increasing campus transportation fees from $89.80 to $90.90 in FY 2016. The focus of this increase is towards the bus acquisition element of the fee, which is earmarked for the replacement of aging buses. The net change will generate approximately $49,700 annually towards the cost of new busses. University Daily Kansan (UDK) Readership Fee The UDK portion of the Newspaper Readership Fee provides operational support to the student run newspaper, University Daily Kansan (UDK). Students are also provided multiple distribution locations for national and local newspapers on campus. Starting in fall 2015, the UDK will reduce its print of the campus newspaper to two days a week from four, saving the UDK about half of its productions costs so that it can concentrate efforts towards online resources. As a result, Student Senate has proposed decreasing the UDK portion of the readership fees from $2.00 to $1.00 for FY 2016. The decrease to the UDK readership fees will decrease revenue by approximately $45,150 in FY 2016. Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) Operations Fee The OMA provides academic, personal, cultural enrichment and career counseling programs to encourage a sense of community, ethnic identity and academic success for all students. Student Senate has proposed to increase the OMA Operations fee from $1.45 to $2.05 for FY 2016 The increase to the OMA operations fee will provide additional resources of approximately $27,000 in FY 2016. Multicultural Education Fund (MEF) The Multicultural Education Fund fee is allocated by Student Senate to student groups primarily for the purposes of funding programs that embody the exploration of sex, race, color, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, or disability. Student Senate has proposed to decrease the MEF fees from $1.15 to $1.10 for FY 2016. This slight reduction will reduce revenue by approximately $2,300 so that reserves can be spent down over the next few fiscal years. Student Senate Activity Fee The Student Senate Activity Fee is assessed to support student government operations and to provide resources for educational programming efforts. Student Senate has proposed an increase of $1.00 in Student Senate Activity fees for FY 2016. The increase to the Student Senate Activity fee will provide additional resources of approximately $45,100 and will be used to support rising educational programming costs. Student Union Activity (SUA) Fee SUA provides a diverse and well-rounded schedule of social, recreational, educational and multicultural activities for the KU community. Student Senate has proposed to increase the SUA fees from $5.00 to $5.25 in FY16. This increase will generate approximately $11,400 to cover higher costs and help maintain the quality of events held by the SUA each year.

IV. PROJECTION OF REVENUE FROM AND NUMBER OF STUDENTS AFFECTED BY FEE ADJUSTMENT(S) All undergraduate and graduate students pay the Lawrence Required Campus Fees so all would be affected by any proposed change. The required campus fee proposal for FY 2016 is $455.50 per semester for fulltime students. V.

PROJECTED IMPACT OF FEE ADJUSTMENT(S) ON STUDENT ENROLLMENT

Required campus fees will increase by 1.2% in FY 2016 and should be of no impact to student enrollment.

New Fee Rates Infrastructure Fee (per credit hour)

Tentative Tentative FY 2017 FY 2018 Fee Rate Fee Rate $7.50 $10.00

KU’s new Infrastructure Fee would apply to all KU Lawrence Campus student credit hours. This $5 per credit hour fee would be used to improve and expand the campus framework used to support student learning. It is anticipated the fee will generate $3,000,000 annually. The initial years would see funds go toward modernization projects. KU has identified nearly $7,500,000 of immediate, high impact projects. Some examples are auditoria, classrooms, student gathering spaces, and student study areas. In future years, the Infrastructure Fee would be utilized as KU redevelops the Central District. Projects would include, for example, new student learning spaces, a new power plant, creation of the Jayhawk Trail, and other utility needs. More details about the Central District can be found in KU’s 2014-2024 Campus Master Plan. A public-private partnership (P3) will be used to fund and build this area. The Infrastructure Fee is being phased into an eventual $10 per credit hour fee by the time it is needed for the Central District. The fee would sunset at the conclusion of the P3 project.

The Online MBA program will consist of 42 credit-hours of coursework. It is designed for working professionals and business leaders, from recent college graduates to seasoned executives. Students may take one or more courses at a time, delivered online, and can complete the program in about two years. All courses are 8-weeks in length. Coursework includes courses in two foundational areas (Foundations Certificate and Pillars Certificate) and in one of three elective areas (Finance, Management and Leadership, and Marketing Certificates). Each of the three elective certificates can be taken as a standalone certificate. Projected enrollment in the first year is 50 students. First year revenue is expected to be $642,600 and will be sufficient to cover the on-going costs. Master of Science in Applied Statistics - Online

Proposed FY 2016 Tuition Rate $667.00

New Tuition Rates Master of Science Applied Statistics (per credit hour)

The Master of Science in Applied Statistics degree has been identified as a needed degree for the Kansas City Metro area, and an area of study growing nationally. The Master of Science in Applied Statistics is designed as a degree to prepare students for immediate entry into the workforce. The program is intended for students who have no current interest in pursuing a PhD and focuses on providing graduates with hands-on statistical computing skills, emphasizing proper application and problem solving over the rigorous theoretical training found in other graduate level statistics programs.

University of Kansas

June 17, 2018

Further, by establishing online access to all required coursework, the program provides the flexibility to accommodate working professionals seeking advanced statistics and analytics training. The cost of offering this program are included in the Johnson County Educational Research Triangle fund budget. The program will launch in Fall 2015. First year revenue is expected to be $240,120 and will be sufficient to cover the on-going costs. Bachelor of General Studies - Online

The College of Liberal Arts & Sciences Online Programs will be offering an online degree completion program for two existing degree/major options (Liberal Arts & Sciences-BGS degree and Psychology-BGS degree) in the College. An allinclusive tuition for online programs is consistent with online programs at other institutions, as well as with the tuition model being utilized by other KU online programs. Estimated revenue will be sufficient to cover the on-going costs.

The Plus 12 Program is targeted at former KU students who left before earning their degree, but earned 108 credit hours or more. These students will be offered the opportunity to complete a specific 12 credit hour, 4 course sequence, and upon completion will earn the Liberal Arts & Sciences-BGS degree. In addition to the 4 course sequence, students in the Plus 12 Program will also be required to complete all university requirements. Estimated revenue will be sufficient to cover the on-going costs.

Proposed FY 2016 Tuition Rate $103.00

This rate is for ENGL 101 and M ATH 101 only.

Students in USD 497 high schools, Free State High School and Lawrence High School, will have the opportunity to be enrolled in English 101 and/or Math 101. The benefits include fostering improved relationships between KU and USD 497, enhancing efficiencies, challenging high school students, and promoting college-level success. High school faculty will be providing the instruction for these courses. Tuition will be used to recoup the cost to KU of providing syllabi, textbooks, supervision to ensure courses are equivalent to the KU classes, and oversee learning outcomes. Concurrent enrollment students will not pay campus fees so they will not receive other benefits that other KU students receive.

The S.J.D. program is the Law School’s most successful international law program. Approximately half of the S.J.D. students are funded by a third party, typically a student’s home country government. The S.J.D. program at KU is underpriced in the current market. There is no advantage to keeping these fees low as most students do not bear the burden of the cost of the program. The S.J.D. program fees would increase to $5,000 per semester for students entering the program in or after the fall of 2015. Students admitted to the program prior to the fall of 2015 would continue at the rate of $1,000 per semester. Revenues would increase from an average of $40,000 to $200,000 annually and would cover on-going costs associated with the program.

Funds collected from these charges are allocated to the colleges, tracked separately and allocated through processes that include student input. The Olathe campus offers selected graduate programs. These programs are offered using a combination of face-to-face and distance learning courses. The students enrolled in the programs will primarily be residents of the metro-area and animal-health corridor. We propose assessing all students at the same rate – much the same as with distance education courses. In addition to tuition, students enrolled in face-to-face Olathe courses will be charged a campus fee of $127.70 per credit hour, not to exceed 6 credit hours per semester, which will be used to support student services and pay other academic costs at the Olathe campus.

College of Business Administration An increase of $15/student credit hour beginning Fall 2015 is requested for College of Business Administration courses. The college proposes a three year plan that increases the student credit hour fee by $15 over the next three years for a total increase of $45/student credit hour. Approximately $750,000 is projected to be generated each year that will provide approximately $2.25 million within three years. The new funds will be used to hire approximately 12 new faculty, costing $2.2 million, which is needed to reduce the class sizes in the business core classes and reduce the student faculty ratio from 46:1 to 38:1. Three advisors will be hired to reduce the student advisor ratio from 473:1 to 312:1 enabling students to have better access to advisors and advisors to better serve students. Other core staff will be hired to serve the college’s needs in information technology support, a building manager to manage the new facility and an administrative assistant. Each year the college will present their proposal to the Tuition and Fees Strategies Committee (TFSC) and inform the committee how the funding increase was expended in the prior year. College of Engineering The College of Engineering requests approval for a $15/student credit hour increase that will generate approximately $750,000 in the first year. The college proposes a five year plan to increase the fee by $15 each year for a total increase of $75/student credit hour on engineering courses. Approximately $3.75 million is projected to be generated over the next five years. The new funds will be used to hire 26 new faculty needed to provide advising and instructional support with the enrollment growth occurring as a result of the University

Kansas State University

June 17, 2015

Engineering Initiative Act (UEIA) approved by the Kansas legislature in session 2011. Approximately seven faculty will be hired from the revenue in the first year in disciplines such as Mechanical Engineering where considerable enrollment growth has occurred with no additional faculty added. The college administration met with student leadership within the college to discuss the proposed fee increase along with a cost comparison of tuition and fees at other colleges of engineering at K-State 2025 peer schools and other regional schools. College of Human Ecology A new fee of $20/student credit hour is requested for the College of Human Ecology courses. The new fee will generate approximately $1.186 million each year. Five areas of impact were prioritized: professional preparedness and competitive edge for career advancement, improved cultural competencies and global readiness, high-impact learning environments through instructional enhancements, value-added experiences beyond the classroom and undergraduate research opportunities that foster high-level problem solving. The additional revenue will be used to update laboratory equipment, create high-tech learning environments and provide sufficient expendable teaching supplies in the classroom for the Athletic Training, Interior Design, Human Nutrition, Apparel and Textiles and Kinesiology programs. In addition, the college will offer a Professional Mentoring Program and employ personnel to support student services related to advising, internships, clinical fieldwork, professional preparation and service learning and engagement. Additional lab sections will be added to assist with timely graduation and reducing the lab instructor to student ratio to optimize the educational experience. The College of Human Ecology engaged in a vigorous discussion of the new fee proposal with students and faculty in their college over the past year and a half. C.

OTHER TUITION OR FEE PROPOSAL THAT REQUIRES BOARD APPROVAL Current FY 2015 $0.00

Description Academic Building Support Fee

Proposed FY 2016 $2.10

Kansas State University requests approval of an Academic Building Support fee to be assessed per student credit hour for the fall, spring and summer terms excluding Global Campus courses. The fee is projected to generate $1 million in revenue. The revenue will be used to fund a $15 million commitment made by President Schulz to the College of Business Administration to support the new building construction project for equipment, furniture and technology used in the building. A more detailed description of the fee is included in Appendix D. E. DESCRIPTION OF STUDENT AND OTHER CAMPUS COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IN PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND/OR REVIEW OF PROPOSALS The Manhattan campus Tuition and Fees Strategies Committee (TFSC) is a student-led committee comprised of student representatives from each academic college on the Manhattan Campus, as well as a student representative from the Graduate School, the Salina campus and the College of Veterinary Medicine. Administrators serving as ex-officio members of the committee are the provost/senior vice president, vice president for student affairs, associate dean of student life, faculty senate president, senior vice provost for academic affairs and vice president for administration and finance. The TFSC met eleven times beginning December 11 through May 5 to review existing fees, discuss increases to existing fees, consider a new fee request and a tuition rate increase. Co-chairs of the committee were Student Body President Reagan Kays and Speaker of the Student Senate Abby Works. Committee members maintained regular and frequent communication with university administration and students

Kansas State University

regarding the tuition and fee review process as it developed throughout the year. The following principles served as the fundamental guidelines for the TSC process: balance the needs of the university with affordability for all students, preserve transparency of tuition and fees and the review process, maintain a tuition and fees structure that is simple and easy to communicate and remain competitive in both the resident and non-resident student markets. The TFSC implemented a three-year review process for all existing fees and reviewed the fees for the College of Architecture, Planning and Design and the College of Arts and Sciences. Each of the deans presented to the committee how the funds had been allocated and the value the investments contributed to their students’ educational experiences. The College of Human Ecology conducted a series of working sessions that included faculty and staff representation along with student involvement to develop the priorities of how the fee revenue would be used to enhance existing programs and provide a value added experience for their students that gives them a competitive edge as they pursue careers and graduate education. The experiences align with priorities identified in K-State 2025. Multiple student organizations provided letters to the dean expressing their support of the new fee and the enhanced educational value students will receive. The dean, along with faculty and student representatives, presented their proposal to the TFSC and the dean responded to questions and concerns of the committee throughout the spring semester. The College of Business appointed a faculty and staff task force in Fall 2014 to examine the salary and personnel comparisons to the benchmark schools. An open forum was held in the fall where the college received input from the Dean’s Student Advisory Council and other students who attended. The College of Engineering met with faculty, staff and students within their college to discuss their fee proposals and to receive input. Both colleges also presented to the TSFC justification for the fee increase, the impact it would have on students’ educational experiences and the process used to receive input from students to develop the request. Throughout the semester, administration updated the committee on the budget planning work completed by the budget advisory committee and the legislative actions taken throughout the session that impacted the state general fund and other areas of higher education. President Schulz reported to the Board of Regents a FY 2016 budget plan that included a 5% tuition increase and that was the rate increase considered by the TFSC. The committee made a recommendation to create an academic building support allocation that would establish a student credit hour fee that generated $1 million in revenue, increases the same percent as tuition each year, requires annual review by the TFSC, is not used for building construction and is used for technology, furniture and other furnishing in the interior of an academic building. The allocation would be used to fund the university support of $15 million for the College of Business building project for technology, equipment and furniture. The TFSC unanimously agreed to recommend a 5% tuition increase for resident and non-resident tuition beginning Fall 2015. The Salina campus Tuition Strategies Committee is chaired by Student Body President Zachary Freeman. Committee meetings are open and all are invited to attend. The committee met several times and discussed the budgetary needs of the campus and looked at several alternatives before recommending a 5% tuition rate increase for both undergraduate resident and non-resident students. The students did not support increasing tuition-funded scholarships. The students supported salary increases that may occur should be directed first toward the lowest paid employees who receive outstanding performance evaluations. The Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine meets annually with DVM students to talk about tuition rates and proposed increases. He discussed the priorities and needs of the college with the students. Students provide input and feedback to the process and to the needs of the college as it relates to instructional priorities. The dean meets twice a year with the student leadership group (officers of the Student Chapter of the American Veterinary

Revenue generated from the tuition rate increase is estimated at $6,845,000 for Manhattan and Olathe campuses, $214,560 for the Salina campus and $490,000 for the College of Veterinary Medicine. The Manhattan campus enrollment was flat in FY 2015; therefore, no additional revenue is projected from enrollment growth and the university enrollments are expected to maintain current levels through FY 2016. The College of Veterinary Medicine 2015 graduating class was significantly larger (125 students) due to the number of students that had not progressed previously. The class size for FY 2015 was 475 and the projected class size for FY 2016 is 462. The tuition revenue projection allows for the class size reduction. The University Budget Advisory Committee (UBAC) met throughout the year reviewing the Main Campus revenue, developed multiple budget scenarios considering legislative actions throughout the session. The UBAC recommended the following budget priorities based on the revenue constraints of the tuition cap approved by the legislature. The institutional scholarship allocation of $1 million provides second, third and fourth year students scholarships if they maintain a certain GPA. The remaining financial aid amount of $168,000 is to be assist in attracting engineering students to K-State. The GTA waivers and college instructional allocation will increase by the tuition rate percent increase of 3.6% which totals $445,500. Funding of $1.535 million is added to the utilities budget to address projected cost increase due to rate increases, additional space added from the phase IV Engineering expansion project and additional debt service payments for the chill water plant expansion project. Approximately $2 million is allocated from tuition for faculty salary increases for faculty promotions, professorial awards and targeted faculty salary enhancements. Sixty-two faculty were awarded promotions from assistant to

Kansas State University

Page 38

June 17, 2015

associate and associate to full professors this past year. Twenty-eight professors completed the requirements to be approved for the professorial awards. In addition 164 targeted faculty salary enhancements of $3,000 each plus fringe benefits will be distributed to each college based on its number of faculty to apply to aid in faculty retention, compression, inversion and to reward high performance for faculty at the ranks of full professor, associate and assistants. The university is investing approximately $1.66 million in strategic positions throughout core areas of the university in support of K-State 2025. The Division of Human Capital Services was created merging Human Resources and the Office of Institutional Equity to focus on recruiting, developing and retaining a diverse, highly qualified workforce. Additional funding is being invested in the division to elevate services provided to campus to better manage our greatest resources, our faculty and staff. Additional funding is being invested in K-State Research to provide critical support to the research efforts of our faculty, staff and students as we move toward becoming a Top 50 public research university by 2025. K-State Global Campus has a mission of providing educational opportunities to adult learners. The funds generated from the 3.6% tuition rate increase estimated at $750,000 will be distributed back to colleges to pay increased costs for delivery, salaries and development and maintenance of distance education courses and programs. G.

MEASURES TAKEN TO KEEP PROPOSALS AS MODEST AS POSSIBLE.

K-State is committed to fostering excellent teaching, research and service that develops a highly skilled and educated citizenry necessary to advancing the well-being of Kansas, the nation, and the international community. The university is constantly reacting to adjustments in enrollment, increased compliance requirements, efforts to preserve program quality, provision of appropriate student services, and ever changing research needs. This complicated business model has to be continuously adjusted as the revenue stream available to finance our activities changes on an annual basis. As a result, K-State must aggressively seek out efficiencies in delivering our academic programs and administering our university. Over the past several years the university has invested in energy conservation projects to reduce the costs of heating and cooling in our buildings. Building control upgrades in most buildings on campus assist with occupancy comfort and provide greater control over set points and scheduling of mechanical equipment within buildings. Currently the university is in the process of upgrading and expanding its chilled water plant to modernize and provide adequate capacity for future campus growth in concert with the existing chilled water plant on campus to maximize efficiency. Stand-alone chilled water systems in several buildings are being removed to maximize energy and operational efficiencies by connecting them into the centralized chilled water system. The chilled water distribution piping is being expanded to complete a hydraulic loop across campus to provide a more robust and reliable system to minimize outages. This loop will be sized and positioned to accommodate virtually all main campus and housing buildings in the future to maximize energy efficiency when older building-systems are renovated and replaced. Multiple information technology initiatives involving both hardware and software are in progress. These projects will streamline the IT infrastructure and increase staff utilization. For example, the main data center is being migrated from a decade old server technology to a modern converged architecture. This will result in long-term replacement hardware savings, faster response times and considerably lower power usage. Additionally, the computer labs across the campus have been converted to desktop virtual environments. This allows staff to manage the labs centrally rather than having to deploy across the campus and physically touch each machine. In conjunction with the university’s procurement office, Information Technology Services (ITS) is working to improve procurement practices by encouraging the purchase of hardware with the Energy Star TM rating. Current research indicates that computers with this rating utilize 52 percent less energy than their non-rated

Kansas State University

counterparts. ITS also purchased a campus wide license for digital signage software to support the Manhattan, Olathe and Salina campuses. Content and templates are shared across the university, resulting in consistent branding, increased visibility and reduced administrative requirements for individual colleges and units. An integrated event calendar system continually updates the signage. There are currently more than 75 digital signs in use at K-State, all administered by the system. H.

REVIEW OF FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

The Privilege Fee Committee reviewed three fee agreements this year and proposed budget increases which Student Senate passed. Student Health Fee The Privilege Fee Committee met with Lafene Health Center staff to review their request for budget increases from privilege fees over the next three years. The Privilege Fee Committee reviewed the student use statistics, comparison to other Big 12 schools and the Lafene patient satisfaction survey completed during the past year. Cost saving measures such as consolidation of programs, use of student employees where possible, strategic levels of qualified medical employees and inventory reductions have been implemented. Support for the Lafene Health Center was increased by $150,463 to maintain the ability to meet current direct care demands and provide support for projected increases in operating costs. University Counseling Services Counseling Services provides a variety of services to students and helps maintain a healthy and safe campus for students to learn, live and work. The award-winning online service, University Life Café, continues to increase the number of students positively affected on campus and in our community. The Privilege Fee Committee reviewed Counseling Services’ budget request and Student Senate approved the committee’s recommendation for a $20,013 budget increase in FY 2016. Recreational Services The Chet Peters Recreational Center expansion was completed and fully operating in FY 2014. During the March 2014 review of the recreational services privilege fee, the students committed to cover the additional costs incurred because of the expansion. Additional staff was required to cover the increase in square footage and an additional entrance. The $126,000 budget increase, including $25,000 for the purchasing of new equipment and repair and replacement projects, was approved as a FY 2016 increase by Student Senate. IV.

PROJECTION OF REVENUE FROM AND NUMBER OF STUDENTS AFFECTED BY FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

The proposed privilege fee revenue increase is expected to generate an additional $418,000 that includes a small allowance for bad debt and possible student credit hour reduction. The fee increase will affect all students at Kansas State University – Manhattan campus. V.

PROJECTED IMPACT OF FEE ADJUSTMENT(S) ON STUDENT ENROLLMENT

JUSTIFICATION FOR FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

Increased efficiencies have resulted in a reduction in the overall privilege fee rate. Funds are being decreased for the student newspaper which is no longer available in print (on-line only). Increases are being made to tutoring programs and to fund a part-time student digital media position. III.

REVIEW OF FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

The committee to discuss privilege fees met five times throughout the first few months of 2015. The committee was chaired by Student Body President Zachary Freeman and included student representation from each academic college on the Salina campus. Committee members maintained an open route of communication with campus administration and students throughout the entire process. Student Activities The committee recommended a $0.05 increase to Student Government Fees to provide adequate support for the newly developed Diversity Affairs Director programs (Student Government position).

Counseling Services Counseling services were outsourced to Veridian Behavioral Health at the start of the Fall 2014 semester. This has reduced the cost of counseling services while increasing the variety of specialized counseling services available to students. It is recommended to decrease the privilege fee by $0.15. On the Record The Salina student newspaper On the Record has changed to an entirely electronic format and has reduced the number of issues produced, thus reducing student salary needs. It is recommended to decrease the privilege fee by $0.33. Writing Center The Writing Center nurtures independent writing skills, emphasizes writing processes and encourages individual progress. This is a valued service to students and the committee recommends a $0.02 increase. Tutoring Center The tutoring center provides valued tutoring services to students. This has been a well-run program and one that students continue to rate highly. Additional funds are needed to off-set student salary increases and the number of tutoring hours available. An increase of $0.10 is recommended. Digital Media The Student Government Association and multiple clubs have felt the need to have a dedicated Digital Media Specialist position dedicated to advertising student body programs, events, and increasing campus awareness. This position will create logos for student organizations and assist with website management. This will be a student position working under the advisement of the Salina marketing team to ensure consistency of formats and processes. The recommendation is to create a $0.30 per credit hour privilege fee to fund this position. IV.

C. PROPOSED CHANGES TO TUITION STRUCTURE WSU proposes new special tuition initiatives for undergraduate and graduate students, current enrollees, and to promote professional development opportunities for working adults. These programs are: 1) Oklahoma and Texas tuitions, 2) Concurrent Enrollment for High School Students, and 3) Professional Development Market-Based Education. Oklahoma and Texas Tuitions WSU proposes special tuition rates for residents of Oklahoma and Texas as follows: 



Oklahoma residents undergraduate and graduate students: o Residents of the Oklahoma City and Tulsa Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) would be eligible for in-state tuition o Oklahoma residents living outside of those MSAs would pay 150% of undergraduate/graduate in-state tuition consistent with the rates available to various Midwestern states. Texas residents would pay 150 percent of in-state tuition consistent with rates available to various Midwestern states.

Rationale The economy of the Midwest is restructuring around what is known as the I-35 mega-region. This region is evolving and according to analyses sponsored by the U.S. Department of Transportation there currently is an emerging Texas mega-region and a Central Plains mega-region (see map below). Because of its location, Wichita has special potential to be affected by economic growth in the southern half of this Central Plains mega-region and to changes in the Texas region. This means that over time, the economy of Wichita can prosper by focusing on creating meaningful linkages with the core economic engines to the south of the state both in Oklahoma and Texas.

One of the key characteristics of this economic restructuring is that major metropolitan areas act as hubs or chief drivers for surrounding areas. Thus, within the southern half of the Central Plains mega-region, Oklahoma City and Tulsa exercise metropolitan dominance with regard to the new economy. Because of the structure of this Central Plains region, with the Flint Hills representing a large area of low population, Wichita has the potential for naturally linking to major metropolitan areas in the southern part of this mega-region and in the emerging Texas Triangle region. The mega-region of Texas is defined as the “Texas Triangle” centered on the three metropolitan areas of Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin-San Antonio. Recent research by the WSU Center for Economic Development and Business Research shows that Wichita has very substantial potential to develop export trade goods that can greatly enhance both wealth and employment in the south-central Kansas region (see maps below).

Wichita State University

June 17, 2015

Wichita State University

Page 57

June 17, 2015

Because of KBOR policy, Missouri students already can qualify for special tuition at 150 percent of in-state rates. The current proposal extends this tuition to the remainder of the critical trade zones for Wichita with MSA as a means to create stronger relationships with our closest potential export markets. The purpose of these special tuitions is to encourage development of relationships with people within these metropolitan economic drivers and to tie Wichita more closely to other components of the emerging I-35 region that will be composed of both the Texas Triangle and the Central Plains. These tuitions also can be used as a component in an institutional strategy to promote development of relationships with businesses in this region to encourage trade and expansion into the Wichita region. Professional Development Market-Based Education This proposal is designed to meet the needs of working adults for credit-based education to support their professional development. These tuition rates are based on the characteristics of the particular market to be served as well as the role of the program offering within WSU’s broader strategic positioning based on its mission. It is proposed that this tuition constitute the total charge for the course exclusive of any administrative cost, books, software, or other materials required to complete the course. The market-based tuition rate will be applied to the following situations inclusive of all current conditions listed below and any future amendments:   

   

  

Courses may be offered in any of the primary academic colleges including Business, Education, Engineering, Fine Arts, Health Profession, Honors and Liberal Arts & Sciences Courses may meet off-campus or on-line and enrollment must be limited to In-Service professionals or professionals seeking additional qualifications Professional Development students pay no institutional fees (except administrative fees to develop courses), and, therefore, enrollees receive no other benefits that normally accrue to a WSU student (e.g., access to athletics events, counseling and testing services, etc.) Regular university students must seek approval by the appropriate college dean for enrollment in Professional Development courses and the university will take appropriate steps to adjust financial aid Professional Development course credit hours may apply to a university degree if a student is successfully admitted into a degree program and the academic unit accepts the credit hours as part of their degree program Demonstration of Kansas residency or other university enrollment requirements, except as required by law or Regents’ rule, is not required for enrollment in Professional Development courses The Office of the Provost determines the tuition based on recommendations of the dean of the college through which the course is being offered as verified by a market-based analysis performed by the university (see Course Market Value Chart below) All courses will meet the federal definition of a credit hour and instructor qualifications as defined by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) Earned Professional Development course credits will be included on the student’s transcript and graded according to normal standards for credit instruction at the level the course is offered Students must be admitted to WSU as non-degree students, and, as such, will not qualify for institutional or federal financial aid

Rationale For decades, universities have understood that graduates need to be “life-long learners” and in the current technologybased, rapidly changing environment in which innovation and entrepreneurship are fundamental drivers of the future, the need for life-long learning has never been greater. Because of WSU’s location and mission, the University is in a unique position to meet the needs of industry, government, and non-governmental organizations for focused programs that enhance competitiveness and improve operations. With development of the University’s Innovation Campus, it is expected that demand for these types of programs will only increase. Because of the diversity of interests and needs in the various potential market segments, and because of program cost differentials, Professional Development Education will be most effective if tuition can be charged appropriate to the specific course. For example, teacher recertification courses offered in a school could be offered at a rate that makes them affordable for teachers. It also is likely that one or more companies could contract with the University to offer a specific course to hundreds of employees world-wide and be willing to pay flat rate that would generate substantial enrollment for the University. It also is possible that the University would be able to offer a course that is of such value and unique character as to be able to demand a higher tuition than would be typical of general courses offered by the institution. Professional Development short courses also may be “stacked” to allow professionals to gain a certificate to document their learning, or, as they are developed and approved, a “badge” documenting professional competencies. This would allow both the University and the employer to document the quality of the student learning in a manner that is much more rigorous than traditional non-credit continuing education offered by most universities. Because these courses would all meet HLC standards, faculty and departments may choose to allow these courses to count toward a university degree should the student later be admitted to a degree program. Additionally, these courses provide opportunities for University faculty to identify potentially high quality students who might benefit from achieving an undergraduate or graduate degree. Therefore, these short courses also should be seen as a significant recruiting tool. Concurrent Enrollment of High School Students To meet its service mission and to promote college attendance and graduation in Kansas, WSU proposes concurrent enrollment tuition of $100 per course to be applied to courses offered under the following conditions: 

The course is offered in a school district in Kansas in partnership with WSU

   

The school district pays all costs associated with offering the course including the course instructor, materials, location costs, etc. Students registered for concurrent enrollment courses pay no institutional fees and, therefore, receive no other benefits of enrolling at WSU including access to university services or activities High school students registered both as concurrent and on-campus students are treated as regular campus students for the purposes of receiving benefits WSU will certify that all courses meet Federal, Kansas Board of Regents (KBOR) and HLC standards, instructors are qualified and that courses successfully completed are entered on a WSU transcript

Rationale WSU is committed to access and promoting the Regents’ agenda with regard to degree completion. Experience with concurrent enrollment shows that it is not a particularly useful tool for recruiting students to WSU, but it historically has provided opportunities for high school students to cost-effectively complete substantial college credit. By allowing a concurrent enrollment tuition, the Regents will allow WSU to generate needed funds to oversee the quality of the courses taught and to cover the costs of recording the student’s course completions.

Rationale       

College of Engineering – to provide base funding essential in expanding the number of engineering graduates as established by the University Engineering Initiative Act, to hire up to12 additional faculty members, and to add additional personnel, equipment, software and materials as enrollment increases Communication Sciences and Disorders – to augment clinical educator salaries for positions currently available School of Nursing – to support increased simulation space, lab and equipment, and the acquisition of data collection tools needed to maintain quality programs and accreditation, including tracking of clinical sites, preceptors, and documentation of student experience Dental Hygiene – to address the budget deficits, recruitment and retention of faculty, and maintaining equipment for clinical education Medical Lab Sciences – to develop and sustain molecular diagnostics for the curriculum Physician Assistant – to address budget deficits, recruitment and retention of faculty, and maintaining equipment for clinical education Physical Therapy – to support addition, update and maintenance of outdated equipment, and provision of new resources, faculty development and faculty support for advancing rehabilitation through applied learning

Online Course Fee WSU requests that the fee for online courses be increased from $75.00 per credit hour to $92.00 per credit hour. This fee increase will be allocated as follows: $9.00 per credit hour to the general student fee budget; $3.00 per credit hour to the Intercollegiate Athletic Association; and $5.00 per credit hour for online education budget. Intercollegiate Athletic Fee WSU requests that the Intercollegiate Athletic Fee be increased from $9.55 per credit hour to $10.70 per credit hour to assist in the implementation of the new NCAA allowance to provide student athletes with additional scholarship funding up to the full cost of attendance level and expanded meal plans, as well as higher travel expenses. Technology Fee WSU requests that a new Technology Fee of $2.50 per credit hour be accessed for technology upgrades and replacement. Transportation Fee WSU requests that a new Transportation Fee of $1.00 per credit hour be accessed to help offset the cost of the campus shuttle service. Yellow Ribbon Program WSU joined the Yellow Ribbon Program, an initiative of the Department of Veteran Affairs through which WSU and the VA share the cost of the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition. This program makes it more affordable for a larger number of out-of-state students with military backgrounds to attend WSU. Tuition and Fee Waivers Senior Citizens may audit regular lecture or certain group activity courses without payment of tuition and the campus infrastructure and support fees. Senior auditors must pay for any applicable workshop fees and lab/special course fees.

E. DESCRIPTION OF STUDENT AND OTHER CAMPUS COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IN DEVELOPMENT AND\OR REVIEW OF PROPOSALS Meetings took place with the President’s Executive Team concerning University needs and priorities, and the resulting changes to the Fiscal Year 2016 expenditure budget. The Student Government Association held fee hearings related to areas funded through student fees and voted to approve the changes. WSU’s University Budget Advisory Committee met to review the proposal. This committee is composed of the President, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Vice President for Administration and Finance, and President of the Student Government Association, as well as the Presidents of the Faculty, Unclassified Professional and University Support Staff (USS) Senates. F. PROJECTED TUITION AND FEE REVENUES AND PLANNED USES OF INCREASED REVENUES The estimated revenue from the Tuition Proposal in Section A above totals $2.975 million. The additional funds will be used for the following:      

Funding for promotions in academic rank and post professor incentive review Increased funding for GTA tuition fellowships to match the tuition increase Enhanced funding for academic programming and direct instructional costs New positions and related operational costs for administrative support in the office of Strategic Communications Utility rate increases A mid-year salary increase of 2% for faculty and staff

G. MEASURES TAKEN TO KEEP PROPOSALS AS MODEST AS POSSIBLE Student access to higher education is a priority at Wichita State University. In addressing this priority, the tuition increase proposal for Fiscal Year 2016 is 3.60% for all students. The increase will cover a minimal mid-year salary increase for faculty and staff, as well as mandatory increases for fringe benefits and utility costs. H. STUDENT PROPOSED ADJUSTMENTS TO REQUIRED STUDENT FEES (a.k.a. campus privilege fees – fees proposed by students for restricted use expenditures) Note: See Appendix H for financial impact statement(s). The student fee for Fiscal Year 2015 was $31.00. WSU proposes a $0.45 per credit hour increase to the student fee for Fiscal Year 2016 which would represent an increase of 1.45%.

Appendix H Student Proposed Required Student Fee Adjustments (FY 2016) Financial Impact Statement State University: Wichita State University I.

DESCRIPTION OF FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

Wichita State University proposes a $0.45 per credit hour increase to the student fee for Fiscal Year 2016. The adjusted Fiscal Year 2015 rate of $31.00 per credit hour would change to $31.45 per credit hour for Fiscal Year 2016. This represents an increase of 1.45%. II.

JUSTIFICATION FOR FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

The overall increase in the Student Fees Budget totals $37,000. This minimal budget increase is targeted to provide a mid-year salary increase of 2% for faculty and staff funded through student fees. III.

REVIEW OF FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

The following summarizes the process for the campus approval of the student fee increase: Public hearings and deliberations of the Student Fees Committee took place in January and February of 2015. The Student Fees Committee is composed of five students, the Vice President for Student Affairs, and the Vice President for Administration and Finance. Public hearings and deliberations took place in February and March of 2015 with the entire Student Government Association. Student Government Association meetings are open to all students, and public forums are scheduled so that students on both sides of an issue may speak before the student governing body. Student Government Association recommendations were reviewed by President Bardo for final approval. IV.

PROJECTION OF REVENUE FROM AND NUMBER OF STUDENTS AFFECTED BY FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

The additional projected revenue from the proposed student fee increase is $37,000. The proposed increases for the student fee will impact the entire student body at Wichita State University. V.

PROJECTED IMPACT OF FEE ADJUSTMENT(S) ON STUDENT ENROLLMENT

The proposed student fee increase for Fiscal Year 2016 is not expected to have an impact on the level of student enrollment.

Program-Specific Tuition or Fee: The Kansas Board of Regents approved the Doctorate of Nursing Program for Pittsburg State University at their September 17, 2014 meeting. The program will be phased in over the next three years with twelve to sixteen students enrolling each year. The cost to the students will be set at $375 per credit hour. Students are expected to complete 77 credit hours over a bachelor’s degree. It is anticipated full time students will be able to complete their coursework over a period of three years. The return on investment for the individual student who graduates is significant. The average annual salary for a nurse in southeast Kansas is around $40,000. The current annual salary for a Doctorate Nurse Practitioner is approximately $80,000 to $100,000. C. PROPOSED CHANGES TO TUITION STRUCTURE None D. OTHER TUITION OR FEE PROPOSALS THAT REQUIRE BOARD APPROVAL None E. DESCRIPTION OF STUDENT AND OTHER CAMPUS COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IN DEVELOPMENT AND\OR REVIEW OF PROPOSALS The FY 2016 recommendations are primarily the result of the work of the University Tuition Committee. This Committee is appointed annually by the President and includes students, alumni, faculty, and staff. The Committee makes its recommendation to the President’s Council after hearing funding requests from across the campus. The President’s Council reviews the recommendation and provides further guidance and input. The President reviews the material provided through the process and submits the final recommendation to the Kansas Board of Regents for their approval.

June 17, 2015

F. PROJECTED TUITION AND FEE REVENUES AND PLANNED USES OF INCREASED REVENUES It is anticipated the increase in tuition rates will generate $1,332,000. The additional revenue will be expended for required expenditure increases aligned with faculty promotions, new building operating and programming costs with the construction of the Bicknell Family Center for the Arts and the Robert W. Plaster Center, etc. The discretionary increases are linked to employee salary improvements. The proposal includes a 2% salary increase (most likely mid-year) for all employees and funding for faculty and unclassified support staff market adjustments. The base salary increase to all employees will be dependent upon such factors as receipt of projected State revenues and the collection of estimated tuition payments. An initial step may be taken in implementing a “livable wage” provision. This year’s proposal has been influenced by actions outside the institution. Because the 2015 legislative session is not finalized, the recommended increases are based upon the best information available. Assuming budget projections and legislative actions turn out as expected, a re-allocation of University resources will be required to balance the FY 2016 operating budget as shown in Appendix F-1. G. MEASURES TAKEN TO KEEP PROPOSALS AS MODEST AS POSSIBLE The University continues to be positive in adjusting to the economic realities it faces. During FY 2015 a budget re-allocation of $330,000 was made to help finance the annual budget. An additional re-allocation of $639,000 will occur for the FY 2016 budget. The savings on employer fringe benefits of approximately $269,000 will be re-directed to other budget priorities. Another $370,000 will be identified and re-allocated to keep the tuition rate increase lower. In addition to these significant yet difficult budget decisions each year individual departments implement new processes/policies in order to maximize the use of allocated resources. Following are some examples of steps taken during FY 2015 as reported by the departments. Cost Savings Efficiencies/Improved Services: 1. Overman Student Center-All meeting rooms, multi-purpose space, and new office space in the remodel is using energy efficient LED lighting. All meeting rooms will use electronic signage listing meetings for that space eliminating paper postings. Recycling bins made from recycled plastic have been purchased, and additional water refill stations have been installed. 2. University Housing-With every renovation, the University utilizes more energy efficient equipment and supplies. University Housing adopted low consumption water fixtures and faucets and utilizes high efficiency lighting and electrical devices. The energy management system continues to regulate sleep room temps. The department teamed up with the Recycling Committee during move in and eliminated trash pick-ups for the weekend and also provided recycling pickups. 3. Student Health Services-The department volunteered to serve as a beta test site for the EMR system, Point and Click, and to use iPads for patient consents requiring signatures, and the iPad camera to upload pictures of injuries, skin lesions, rashes, etc., into the patient’s electronic medical file. This IT enhancement was offered free to the department (a $5,000 enhancement option) for serving as a beta test site. 4. Business Office-The PayPal credit card processing costs were eliminated recently. With the purchase of CashNet there is no need to maintain and pay for a separate processor to manage online

Pittsburg State University

Page 70

June 17, 2015

payments. PayPal transactions were recently diverted to the CashNet portal for processing. Since completed, the processor costs for those transactions are included in our annual subscription with CashNet. 5. Office of Information Services-OIS created an automated voice call alert system to notify staff of after-hours failures of critical systems. The alert system was created from an open source monitoring solution and the University’s existing RAVE subscription. Other than the developer’s time, this was a zero cost initiative and greatly improved the department’s ability to respond to critical outages. Commercial systems are often several thousand dollars to purchase and several hundred dollars a month for maintenance. Also, Office 365 was implemented giving all students, faculty, and staff free MS office licensing for home as well as a free Office 365 account for business. An additional huge savings is that each account came with 1 TB of storage which will allow the University to save thousands of dollars in the coming years on storage. 6. Purchasing Office-The process of choosing a new ERP system has been completed. Oracle was selected as the successful vendor after a 24 month process. The core project team is in the process of reaching an agreeable contract with Oracle. The department continues implementation of Gorilla Marketplace and training to maximize functionality of the solution. By allowing departments to more easily complete day-to-day work and attach scanned documents in GM, the system cuts back on the amount of time required to process purchase transaction. Attaching electronic or scanned backup reduces the flow of paperwork around campus and copy costs. The usage of punch out vendors has increased from 9% last year to 29% this year. That means the departments are using GM to save time when shopping. 7. Modern Languages and Literatures-Upon retirement of the Department Chair in Modern Language and Literatures, that unit was merged with the Department of English to form a new Department of English and Modern Languages. Further, the $109,000 salary of the MLL Chair line was redistributed. 8. Library Services-In FY 2015, Library Services completed implementation of the Integrated Library System from Innovative Interfaces that greatly enhances the University’s efficiencies and services for our students, faculty, community and consortia partners. 9. Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology-The Open Educational Resources initiative expanded over this past year. Seven faculty taught official Open Education Resources courses (13) resulting in over $83,000 in textbook savings for 387 students. 10. Academic Affairs-Most academic departments are using CANVAS and/or electronic documents rather than paper for course syllabi, handouts, study guides, assignments, as well as faculty searches and documents for various meetings. 11. Irene Ransom Bradley School of Nursing-Nursing continues to use iPads for on-site graduate clinical visits rather than reimburse travel. That unit also makes more use of the simulation lab for undergraduate clinical practicum hours to reduce the costs of paid travel to numerous agencies. 12. Physical Plant-The department continues using more water borne products over oils and using a better solvent base product of expensive epoxies. Working with the Design Review Committee (DRC), Physical Plant has managed to standardize colors for each building on campus which limits the colors in buildings and paint bases. For the Bicknell Family Center for the Arts, the Physical Plant Staff unpackaged and put together all new shelving, chairs, tables, musicals stands, office furnishing and other miscellaneous items. Department Staff continues to perform work that

Pittsburg State University

Page 71

June 17, 2015

eliminates the need for sub-contractors and results in a savings of over $105,000. Custodial and Housing are working together to enhance equipment volume to receive the best price possible. Recycling continues to increase which leads to the downsizing of more dumpsters. 13. Campus Recreation- A recent software conversion has allowed the department to move away from a paper environment to one that is online and in real time. Staff have reduced the use of paper from three reams of paper per week to less than three reams a semester (as well as improving services to participants). H. STUDENT PROPOSED ADJUSTMENTS TO REQUIRED STUDENT FEES (a.k.a. campus privilege fees – fees proposed by students for restricted use expenditures) The total increase in campus privilege fees equals $61. Appendix H-1 provides full disclosure of current fees and the recommended increases. All campus privilege fees are subject to multiple levels of review including individual campus privilege fee committees, the Student Government Association, and the President’s Council. The recommended fee increases are mainly the result of the impact of increased costs of operation. This year marks the third year in which student fees have been increased by $30 to pay a portion on all the construction costs associated with the construction of the Center for the Arts, the construction and/or renovation of athletic facilities (Plaster Center), and the expansion/renovation of the Overman Student Center. The total increase is expected to generate around $690,000.

II.

Justification for Change

The Athletics fee assists in funding scholarships that are given to student athletes to support the cost of attendance at the university and other operating costs of intercollegiate athletics. In recent years, the costs associated with attending the university have risen steadily. These costs such as tuition and room/board have a direct impact on the funding of an athletic scholarship. The Student Activities fee funds a range of programs and services to students from the Pride of the Plains Marching Band, University Choir, student orientation programs, student diversity groups, Student Government Association and more. The change in fees address increased cost in delivery of services and expanded programs. The Union Program fee supports programming and operations of the Campus Activities Center and the Student Activities Council. The change in the fee is to support increased cost of programming and operations in these areas. The Union Operations fee supports the operation of the Overman Student Center. The change in the fee is to support increased general operating costs and to build capacity toward servicing increased staffing and operation cost when the renovation and expansion is completed at the start of FY16. The One Card fee supports the operation of the university identification card (used by students for identification as well as service and program access on campus). This fee existed several years ago and then was incorporated into the Union Operations fee during the time that the administration of the card was within the union administrative structure. Through reorganization, the card operation has been transferred to Information Systems. The fee is being reestablished as an independent fee and the establishing amount of $4.50 was correspondingly deducted from Union Operations fee for beginning FY16. The Student Health fee supports operation of the Bryant Student Health Center. The change in the fee is to support increased general operating costs and to build capacity toward moving to full-time physician presence on staff for FY16 (multi-year phase-in of fee necessary to support cost of full-time physician). The Parking fee supports the operation of parking services on the campus and the maintenance of lots and equipment. The change in the fee is to support the increased surface maintenance needs as paved surfaces age and the square footage of paved parking surfaces have greatly expanded. The increase is the third of five, annual $2 increases proposed in support of parking surface maintenance plus $1 to support a partnership with Southeast Kansas Community Action Program for a pilot campus shuttle service. The Facilities Expansion and Renovation Fee provides funding for three major projects totaling approximately $24.0 million. The three projects are the renovation and expansion of the Overman Student Center ($14.0 million student fee funded), the construction of a new Fine and Performing Arts Center ($7.0 million student fee funded of a total project budget of $30.0 million) and the construction of an Indoor Event Center ($3.0 million student fee funded of a total project budget of $10.0 million). The $30 increase is the fourth of five annual increases in support of these three projects that was supported by student referendum. III.

Student Involvement in the Fee Change Proposals

All fees have an advisory board comprised of students, faculty, and staff. The appropriate advisory committee reviews each fee proposal and a recommendation is made to the Student Government Association relative to any proposed increase by the advisory board. The Student Government Association

Pittsburg State University

Page 79

June 17, 2015

reviews all fee increase levels, providing response resolutions as advisory for consideration by the University President’s Council. The Student Government Association passed resolutions on each individual fee increase in support of the amounts recommended by the advisory boards as reflected in this request for change. The University President’s Council reviews all proposed fee increases and makes the final recommendation to the President. A student referendum was held on the proposed Facilities Expansion and Renovation Fee (Spring 2012), with 12.66% of the students enrolled for the Spring 2012 semester participating. The referendum resulted in 69.8% voting in favor. IV.

Number of Students affected by the Proposed Fee Adjustments

All students, undergraduate and graduate, who pay the Campus Privilege Fees, would be affected by the proposed changes. V.

Projected impact of Proposed Fee Adjustments on student enrollment

The University does not expect the proposed increase to impact student enrollment.

School of Business Course Fee: (per Credit Hour)

Approved FY 2015 Rate $3

Proposed FY 2016 Rate $3

Dollar Rate Increase $0

Percent Rate Increase 0%

ESU proposes no change to the course fee, applicable to all courses offered by its School of Business. During FY 2016 the fee will generate approximately $50,000 (compared to $45,100 in FY 2014 and $50,200 in FY 2015) to partially support costs of Business programs, including partial support of one position in the Business Resource Center. C. PROPOSED CHANGES TO TUITION STRUCTURE Workshop Courses. ESU requests authority to charge all on-campus workshop students current resident graduate tuition rates only and remove the campus activity fee and technology fee, which is typically charged per credit hour. These workshop students earn graduate credit and are primarily educators who need to recertify. They are on campus usually for one day and during that time use limited campus facilities. They do not use student, health, recreation, or other services supported by the campus activity fee. Removing the campus activity and technology fees would reduce revenue by approximately $7,290. However, since the market is so competitive, charging these additional fees may lead to lost enrollments which could exceed the loss of revenue from eliminating the fees from these courses. D. OTHER TUITION OR FEE PROPOSALS THAT REQUIRE BOARD APPROVAL Technology Fee. Continuing a significant FY 2015 restructuring of its Technology Fee, the University proposes that during FY 2016, an additional $6 per credit hour Technology Fee be assessed of all students, which would generate approximately $658,600. This brings the fee to $12 per credit hour and replaces the FY 2014 Technology Fee rates of $25 per semester for full-time undergraduates and $2 per credit hour for all other students, which generated approximately $175,000. The proposal also involves reducing from $42 per course to $30 per course, an Electronic Media Fee, assessed of Distance Education students, which would reduce revenue by $129,000. The additional revenue will support technology available to ESU

Emporia State University

Page 81

June 17, 2015

students, staff and faculty. This is the second year of a two year phase-in, which also moves toward phaseout of the Electronic Media Fee. D. OTHER TUITION OR FEE PROPOSALS THAT REQUIRE BOARD APPROVAL, CONTINUED) 

Biological Sciences and Physical Sciences Lab Fees. ESU requests an increase of $10, from $20 to $30 per credit hour, to the fee for lab courses in Biological and Physical Sciences. The increase will generate an additional estimated $14,000 for the Department of Biological Sciences and $12,000 for the Department of Physical Sciences. The fee will address additional costs related to the new Master of Science in Forensic Science program that begins in the fall of 2015 as well as defray the increasing costs of laboratory and field supplies, reagents, equipment calibration, instrument maintenance and field research.



Teachers College- Course Fee for Practicum in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). ESU requests a $125 special course fee for the Practicum in TESOL course, generating approximately $1,750 which would be used to cover travel expenditures related to supervisors making site visits to evaluate candidates’ abilities. Other teaching and practicum courses within The Teachers College already charge a $125 course fee, thus making this course congruent with the others.



Center for Early Childhood Education Use Fee. ESU requests authority to increase the Center for Early Childhood Education user fee by $1 for all classroom types and user categories. This fee is charged to parents who take their children to the Center. Likewise, a $1 increase to the campus activity fee which supports the use of the Center by students has also been requested. The increase will be used to offset increased operating costs, including fringe benefit rate changes and supplies.



ESU-KC Facility Fee. ESU requests discontinuance of the facility fee of $30 per credit hour for courses taken at the ESU-KC site in Overland Park, KS. The potential loss of revenue is $61,000. The move of the Johnson County (JCCC)- and KCKCC-based PDS (Professional Development School) programs to the ESU-KC facility prompted the review of the fee due to the increased cost of instruction the students would incur due to a change in logistics. Retaining the fee would most likely cause lost enrollment as ESU would lose its competitive pricing advantage in the KC market that is very competitive. It is projected that the University would potentially lose most, if not all, of the KCKCC students and at least 15% of the JCCC students. Lost enrollment would cost more than discontinuance of the facility fee.

E. DESCRIPTION OF STUDENT AND OTHER CAMPUS COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IN DEVELOPMENT AND\OR REVIEW OF PROPOSALS The President of ESU annually appoints a Tuition and Fees Advisory Committee to make initial tuition and fee recommendations to the President. Often the Committee makes its tuition/fee recommendations alongside recommendations on global budgeting issues. The Committee consists of 18 members including leadership from faculty, student government, unclassified staff, university support staff and administration. There were four students on the Committee during the 2014-2015 budget cycle. As a change from prior years, the Committee charged itself to complete the majority of its work during the fall semester and have preliminary recommendations to the President by December. The Committee had eight face-to-face meetings during the fall 2014 term and three meetings during the spring 2015 term. Additionally, the Committee received various legislative and budgeting information. This serves an important role as an

Emporia State University

Page 82

June 17, 2015

information outlet to the various constituency groups represented on the Committee. The President is an ex-officio member of the Committee and receives all information distributed to the Committee. Accordingly, the President is constantly aware of Committee activity and deliberations. Additionally, the President held a campus-wide open forum on tuition and budgeting issues on May 13, 2015 attended by approximately 50 students, staff, and faculty. This forum was convened for the purpose of disseminating information as well as obtaining input from any member of the campus community regarding tuition, fees and budget issues. F. PROJECTED TUITION AND FEE REVENUES AND PLANNED USES OF INCREASED REVENUES The tuition component of the total tuition and fee proposal results in a 3.6 percent tuition increase for all categories of students. This will generate revenue of approximately $946,000. Of the additional tuition revenue, $513,000 will be utilized to finance the base budget. A significant portion of this will be utilized to finance mandatory increases for: fringe benefit rates ($225,322); professorial promotions ($40,500); GTA waiver rate increase ($31,000); and anticipated utility rate increases, particularly electricity ($216,292). Additionally, general use revenue will be used during FY 2016 to finance an approximate 1.6% salary pool for faculty, unclassified staff, University support staff, graduate assistants and students. The salary increases are anticipated to go into effect mid-year. The $6 technology fee increase and accompanying restructuring of previously authorized fees for technology will generate net additional revenue of approximately $529,600. The additional revenue will support technology available to ESU students, staff and faculty. Among improvements requiring continuing support are: latest versions of key software-Microsoft Office, Symantec Anti-Virus, video streaming; quality learning spaces: digital communication platforms; wireless connectivity; and the latest technology in classrooms and labs. The University’s proposal includes a $2 per credit hour increase to the off-campus fee, commonly known as the “Area Fee,” which will generate approximately $72,000. The revenue from this increase supports the restricted use component of the budget for distance education and technology services. It provides partial support for the restricted use component of the non-discretionary budget increases described above. G. MEASURES TAKEN TO KEEP PROPOSALS AS MODEST AS POSSIBLE The University worked diligently to keep the total tuition increase within the 3.6 percent cap. This has been achieved by only financing the items considered mandatory budget increases and providing a modest salary pool (the approximate rate of CPI-U). We have also been involved in an effort to both improve student technology while being mindful of our students’ ability to finance their education. A considerable component of the increase to be paid by students will be a $6 per credit hour increase to the technology fee. The additional revenue is reserved for improvement to the technology infrastructure. All increases of fees are devoted to specific initiatives either requested by students or that directly benefit students through improved technology. The Tuition and Fees Advisory Committee also recommended reducing or eliminating some fees, such as the reduction to the Electronic Media Fee, removal of activity fees and technology fees related to graduate credit-generating workshops, and discontinuance of the facility fee at the ESU-KC location. This fee elimination was to accommodate move of the undergraduate Professional Development School programs from Johnson County and KCKCC to the ESU-KC facility, which accommodates place-bound students.

Approximately $406,000 of the "Difference - Other Revenue Increases" amount is attributable to the change in financing of the Nursing Program. ESU now keeps the tuition generated by the program, instead of remitting to Newman Regional Health, and funds 100% of the operating costs, which are around $900,000.

DESCRIPTION OF FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

Campus activity fee (formerly campus privilege fee) increases, proposed for the fall of 2015, are as follows: Present Proposed 2014-2015 2015-2016 Increase Full-time students (per semester) Per-Credit hour (Part-time & Summer students)

$623.00

$ 637.00

$ 14.00

75.00

77.00

2.00

Individual activity fees will change as follows in FY 2015:

Full-Time Student Union Operating Recreational Services Athletics Center for Early Childhood Ed. II.

From $44.60 $27.18 $149.13 $5.50

To $50.35 $28.48 $155.08 $6.50

Part-Time (per credit hour) From $4.05 $5.43 $16.84 $0.40

To $4.76 $5.70 $17.76 $0.50

JUSTIFICATION FOR FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

The campus activity fee finances a variety of activities and services at the University. The increase is 2.25% percent for full-time students and 2.67% percent for part-time students, paying on a per credit hour basis. Student Union Operating. ESU requests increasing the student fee to support the Student Union Operations by $5.75 per semester for full-time undergraduates and by $0.71 per credit hour for those paying on a per credit hour basis. The fee increase will generate approximately $46,177 and will be used to fund increases in operating expenses, such as student personnel costs, and increased cost of supplies, services and utilities, and student programming cost increases due to increased demand for services and programs. Recreation Services. ESU requests increasing the student fee to support Recreation Services by $1.30 per semester for full-time undergraduates and by $0.27 per credit hour for those paying on a per credit hour basis. The fee increase will generate $11,640 to assist in financing a wellness program growth and equipment replacement, preserving use of depreciation reserves for recreation center repairs. Athletics. ESU requests increasing the student fee to support athletics by $5.95 per semester for full-time undergraduates and by $.92 per credit hour for those paying on a per credit hour basis. The rate increase would generate approximately $49,814 to be added to the athletic budget and to partially defray rapidly increasing costs associated with medical costs and operations.

Center for Early Childhood Education. ESU requests increasing the student fee for the Center for Early Childhood Education by $1.00 per semester for full-time undergraduates and by $.10 per credit hour for those paying on a per credit hour basis. The fee increase will generate $7,774 to support increasing costs of operations, particularly personnel and related fringe benefits. III.

REVIEW OF FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

All of the proposed increases have been reviewed and approved by the University’s Tuition and Fees Advisory Committee based upon requests of the various departments to the Committee. Additionally the fee increases were reviewed with the campus community at the President’s open forum in May.

IV.

PROJECTION OF REVENUE FROM AND NUMBER OF STUDENTS AFFECTED BY FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

It is projected that the fees increases will generate additional revenue totaling approximately $115,404. It is expected that 3,469 fall undergraduates students and 3,209 spring undergraduate students will pay the full time student fee and those paying on a per credit hour basis will pay the fee on an estimated 10,956 hours. V.

PROJECTED IMPACT OF FEE ADJUSTMENT(S) ON STUDENT ENROLLMENT

Emporia State does not expect the proposed increases to have a significant effect on enrollment.

Appendix H-1 Emporia State University Required Student Fee Adjustments – Distance Education Area Fee Financial Impact Statement I.

DESCRIPTION OF FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

Distance Education/ Area Fees proposed for the fall of 2015, are as follows: Present 2014-2015 Per-Credit hour II.

$75.00

Proposed 2015-2016

Increase

$77.00

$2.00

JUSTIFICATION FOR FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

The Distance Education/ Area Fees provide funding for the operations of Distance Education and provide assistance to the base budget. The area fee is assessed in lieu of the campus activity fee, among students attending class off-campus or enrolled in on-line courses. The University attempts to charge distance education fees which are nearly identical to the campus activity fee, being paid by on-campus students who pay on a per credit hour basis. This parity is intended to improve the seamlessness of enrollment at ESU. During FY 2016, the revenue will be used to assist in financing the Restricted Use component of mandatory budget increases in distance education and other programs funded by this fee, including The Teacher’s College programs, student services and marketing. III.

REVIEW OF PROPOSED FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

All of the proposed increases have been reviewed and approved by the University’s Tuition and Fees Advisory Committee. Additionally the area fee increase was a part of the fee increase reviewed with the campus community at the President’s open forum in May. IV.

PROJECTION OF REVENUE FROM AND NUMBER OF STUDENTS AFFECTED BY FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

It is projected that the fee increases will generate additional revenue totaling approximately $66,700, based upon 33,363 total credit hours. It is expected that 1,776 fall students and 1,950 spring students will pay the Distance Education area fee. V.

DESCRIPTION OF STUDENT AND OTHER CAMPUS COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IN DEVELOPMENT AND\OR REVIEW OF PROPOSALS Fort Hays State University (FHSU) began discussion regarding tuition and fees among the President and Vice Presidents in fall 2014. Discussion involving the President, Vice President for Administration and Finance and Student Government Association Leadership began in spring 2015. During those discussions, we reviewed the Fort Hays State University mission, student body characteristics, funding sources and uses, and current and projected budgetary issues. After consideration, the President’s recommendation was formulated and submitted. F. PROJECTED TUITION AND FEE REVENUES AND PLANNED USES OF INCREASED REVENUES FHSU expects tuition revenue to increase by approximately $1.5 million dollars next fiscal year due to the requested increase of 3.6% ($4.14) per credit hour for resident undergraduate students and 5% increases in the other tuition categories. For a full time resident student, one taking 15 credit hours per semester, the increase will be $62.10 per

Fort Hays State University

June 17, 2015

semester. For budgetary purposes the University is projecting enrollment growth of 2% which should generate an additional $760,000. The added revenue, resulting from a $4.14 per credit hour increase and the anticipated growth in enrollments, will be used to support changes and improvements recommended as a result of the re-engineering task force review recently completed with total campus involvement. The charge for the task force summarizes the expected outcomes “We need to seek new ways of improving what we already do well and making it excellent. We need to become smarter in our investments of people and talent and technology, to better leverage our combined size and resources, to restructure our work patterns and habits, and to break down barriers to change and improvement so that we can achieve efficiency in our operations and processes and excellence in our service to students. We need to also look at our Colleges and their majors and ensure that the departments are best positioned to create and nurture synergistic collaboration among faculty.” Following are the priorities identified for the added revenue created by the tuition and enrollment increases based on current projections. Top of the priority list are plans to hire additional faculty to support our continued growth, alleviate some overload teaching concerns, and provide more full time positions in the Virtual College to reduce our reliance on adjunct faculty. Estimated cost of the added positions is $1.1 million. Second on the priority list, we are planning to convert all IT support systems to an ERP, preferably cloud based, to increase our overall operational efficiency and eliminate our reliance on an outdated home grown system. The added annual cost for FY 16 is anticipated to be approximately $661,000. Next on the priority list is the full development of our Honors College and our plan to increase scholarship availability to aid in eliminating access issues. We plan to increase our scholarship offerings by $1.2 million next year, with further additions planned in future years, but given the limitations on tuition revenue will only fund half this year. Limiting resident undergraduate tuition to 3.6% will require much deeper discussion related to the priorities listed above. Other plans for use of tuition revenue not committed to ongoing expenses include addition of certain key administrative positions such as the Vice President for Technology, Director of the Honors College, Dean of College of STEM (if board approval is received), and an Associate VP for Enrollment Management. The University plans to provide a salary increase to all faculty and staff, most likely in January of 2016, but will defer this decision until such time as enrollment growth is more apparent and dependent upon decisions related to other priorities of the institution. G. MEASURES TAKEN TO KEEP PROPOSALS AS MODEST AS POSSIBLE For a Kansas student taking 15 credit hours the added cost per semester is $62.10 in tuition and when adding the increase in fees the increased cost totals $92.85. One semester’s tuition and fees for a student taking 15 credit hours will be $2327.10, well below our peer average, which was approximately $3,100 for AY 2014. Fort Hays State University, even considering the proposed tuition for FY 2016, will be the lowest cost four year institution in the State, and is expected to continue to be the second lowest in the nation as reported recently in U.S. News and World Report. The University has been able to achieve its student centered pricing structure as a result of innovative programs and efficient performance. It continues to grow its virtual and international programs, adding revenue streams outside normal operations of a university. Its tuition and fees remain low, to the benefit of Kansas students and their families as a result of its innovative operations. The University has also taken its responsibility to operate as efficiently as possible seriously as is evident by its utility management operations, blended use of full time and part time faculty, and continued use of internal construction resources. The University continually looks for ways to improve operational and staff efficiency to provide a high quality economical education for the benefit of students, parents, and taxpayers.

H. STUDENT PROPOSED ADJUSTMENTS TO REQUIRED STUDENT FEES (a.k.a. campus privilege fees – fees proposed by students for restricted use expenditures) Note: See Appendix H for financial impact statement(s). Fort Hays State University requests an average Higher Education Price Index (HEPI) fee increase of 2.40% for 11 fees. This increase is based upon a three year rolling average of HEPI, consistently used for the past few years. This increase is to maintain the purchasing power of the programs supported by the fees included. Students have also approved the addition of three fees. As a part of its legislative process and through a vote of the students, fees to support three student programs were approved. The programs are Athletic Bands, Intramurals, and Tiger Debs. The fees for each are $.63, $.50, and $.23, respectively. The funds generated by the added fees will be used for the general expenses to operate the three programs including equipment and other expenses. Total fees per credit hour charged to each on campus student will be $36 including the new fees and inflationary increase.

Appendix H Student Proposed Required Student Fee Adjustments (FY 2016) Financial Impact Statement State University: Fort Hays State University I.

DESCRIPTION OF FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

The University proposes applying an inflationary increase to eleven fees. A three year rolling average of the Higher Education Pricing Index (HEPI) will be used which equates to 2.40%. Students have also approved the addition of three fees. One to provide funds for the Fund for Athletic Bands (F.A.B.) and it is established at $0.63 per credit hour. The fee revenue will be used to provide student support to the Athletic Bands. A second to provide funds for a Campus Intramurals Account (C.I.A.) which is established at $0.50 per credit hour, and will fund Campus Intramurals activities, and the third to establish the Fund for the Spirit Squad (F.S.S.), which will provide funding for the activities of the Tiger Debs Dance Team. II.

JUSTIFICATION FOR FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

The proposed inflationary increase is to be applied to eleven fees to maintain purchasing power of the programs that are supported by the fees. The addition of three new fees, as recommended and approved by referendum and action by Student Government, was to simplify and improve the budgeting allocation process for student government providing direct support for the programs identified. III.

REVIEW OF FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

The Student Government Association approved the application of an inflationary increase to the privilege fees on an annual basis. IV.

PROJECTION OF REVENUE FROM AND NUMBER OF STUDENTS AFFECTED BY FEE ADJUSTMENT(S)

The proposed fee increase of $ 2.05 per credit hour is expected to add $229,600 to the fee supported programs and will affect approximately 4,800 students. V.
