Planning and Budget News

MSU began preparation of its 2009-10 budget with a presentation entitled MSU Planning and Budget Context (PDF) that discusses the contexts and environments in which the University operates. Subsequent presentations appear below.   

PDFs will open in a new window.

  • 2010-11 Budget Overview (PDF)
    A budget overview given to the Board of Trustee Finance Committee providing a current context for shaping the future, a review of significant budget variables, and a budget development summary.
  • State Appropriation Conference Report Released

    The appropriation conference report was released on the afternoon of September 23, 2009. Early highlights follow. Note that it has not been adopted by either house at this time. Further, various legislative leaders have stated that some reductions may be offset by subsequent allocations connected to changes in the tax structure. The highlights as we understand them at this time are:

    • GF reduced by 3% on a recurring basis (MSU internal budget number); nonrecurring stimulus allocation of $7.9M

      (MSU Budget materials designated nonrecurring stimulus payments, if received, to mitigate the 2009-10 tuition increase for resident undergraduate students or cuts in state scholarships, or a combination of the two.)

    • AES reduced by 50% on a recurring basis; nonrecurring stimulus allocation of $18.3M

    • CES reduced by 50% on recurring basis; nonrecurring stimulus allocation of 13.6M

      The sum of recurring and nonrecurring components, for each individual line GF, AES & CES reflect a reduction of 0.4%

    • State financial aid programs including Promise Grants have been eliminated with the exceptions of State Competitive Scholarships and State Tuition Grants, both of which have been reduced by approximately half.
