INTRODUCTION

The Texas public higher education system encompasses 38 general academic teaching institutions (including law schools) 50 community and junior college districts one technical college system with four main campuses three lower-division state colleges and nine health-related institutions which operate a total of eight state medical schools three dental schools two pharmacy schools and other allied health and nursing units In addition there are seven agencies that are components of the Texas AampM University System

Private institutions in Texas include 38 four year colleges and universities two junior colleges one medical school and one accredited independent law school

Public institutions serve about 91 percent of the approximately 14 million students enrolled in higher education in Texas

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) was established in 1965 and is composed of nine members appointed by the Governor for staggered six-year terms THECB provides leadership and coordination for the Texas higher education system to promote excellence in higher education

THECBrsquos responsibilities include assessing Texasrsquo system of higher education and developing recommendations for

FIGURE 1 HISTORICAL SPENDING FOR HIGHER EDUCATION 2002ndash03 TO 2012ndash13 BIENNIA

improvements to the Governor the Legislature and institutions THECB reviews and recommends changes in formulas regarding the allocation of state funds to public institutions to limit duplication of academic programs and unnecessary construction projects THECB also promotes access to high quality programs at diff erent institutional levels and oversees the statersquos student financial aid programs

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 appropriated $221 billion in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) for the 2012ndash13 biennium to support Texas higher education a 25 percent decrease from the 2010ndash11 biennium (Figure 1) Figure 2 illustrates the sources of revenue also referred to as methods of finance for the $221 billion in state appropriations Generally only small portions of the Federal Funds received by institutions of higher education are reflected in the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

State funds are allocated to public institutions and agencies of higher education in a number of ways

bull other indirect appropriations which are subsequently allocated to an institution such as the Available University Fund

The $221 billion appropriation includes funds trusteed to THECB for distribution to institutions For the 2012ndash13 biennium THECB received more than $10013 million in trusteed funds The majority of these funds are allocated for student financial assistance Those remaining provide funding for the Baylor College of Medicine incentives for the general academic institutions and the Texas Research Incentive Program

Figure 3 shows the percentage of state funding appropriated to the various types of institutions excluding the allocation for employee insurance and retirement benefi ts

groups of institutions such as general academic institutions and community colleges differ in how the Legislature allocates state appropriations For example all general academic institutions receive funding generated from Instruction and Operations and Infrastructure formulas while community colleges have one formula for Instruction and Administration

While the General Revenue Fundrsquos portion of direct appropriations to institutions is ldquosum certainrdquo the appropriation of Patient Income and Other Educational and General Income (primarily tuition) is ldquoestimatedrdquo Th is means that if patient income or tuition revenue generated by an institution is greater than the amount included in the GAA the institution can spend at a level beyond the amounts in the GAA If an institution generates less tuition revenue it must spend less

The GAA establishes a key distinction for higher education entities differentiating them from other state agencies Statute (Texas Education Code Section 61059(k)) calls for each higher education institution to receive a lump sum appropriation for base funding The GAA expands this concept and provides each higher education institution with one lump sum appropriation For each institution the GAA provides an ldquoInformational Listing of Appropriated Fundsrdquo below each institutionrsquos lump sum appropriation Th is information reflects how the state funds are ldquoallocatedrdquo not how they must be spent Higher education institutions are not bound to spend their appropriation within the specifi ed

strategy as are regular state agencies An exception to this is debt service on tuition revenue bonds Section 6 Rider 9 in the Higher Education Special Provisions GAA page III-233 limits the use of debt service to pay debt service for tuition revenue bonds Any amount of an appropriation not spent must be returned to the General Revenue Fund at the end of the fi scal year

There are some limitations on how institutions can spend appropriated funds The Texas Constitution (Article VII Section 18(i) and 17 (j)) prohibits with limited exceptions the use of General Revenue Funds for construction projects However the Texas Legislature by two-thirds vote in each house may opt to use General Revenue Funds for construction projects if there is a natural disaster or demonstrated need for the project

Also GAA (Section 6 Rider 8b) Special Provisions Relating Only to State Agencies of Higher Education (page III-233) prohibits the use of appropriated funds for auxiliary purposes such as athletics and parking Section 54 of the Special Provisions (page III-246) also restricts the use of funds in the Research Development Strategy to purposes defi ned in Texas Education Code Section 62091 Communityjunior colleges can spend General Revenue Funds only for instruction and administrative costs (Texas Education Code Section 130003(c))

This report presents the different ways that public institutions and agencies allocate state appropriations and highlights the flexibility with which these appropriations may be expended References to appropriated funds are based on the Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 2012ndash13 biennium GAA as adjusted for certain appropriations made in Article IX (General Provisions) of the GAA contingency appropriations other bills making appropriations in fi scal years 2012 and 2013 and Governor vetoes Amounts for fiscal year 2011 have been adjusted for the Supplemental Appropriations Bill House Bill 4 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 and Senate Bill 2 First Called Session 2011 Each category of institutionmdashgeneral academic health-related community and technical colleges and Texas AampM System agenciesmdashis presented separately Th e only THECB funds detailed in this report are funds that have been distributed to public institutions

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

OVERVIEW General academic institutions are listed in the Texas Education Code (61003) Figure 4 lists the institutions and their enrollments All of the institutions have common goals of instruction research and public service however each has a unique set of academic offerings and a unique regional or statewide mission

General academic institutions receive direct appropriations via funding formulas and non-formula appropriations Direct appropriations are identified in the informational strategies of each institutionrsquos bill pattern in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) As mentioned earlier appropriations are made to institutions as a lump sum Th e informational strategies reflect how state funds are ldquoallocatedrdquo not how they must be spent This means that with a few exceptions higher education entities unlike other state agencies are not required to spend appropriations within a specified funding strategy

The appropriation levels in each strategy refl ect diff erent revenue sources such as General Revenue Funds General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (mostly tuition and fee revenue) and Other Funds These revenue sources are referred to as the ldquomethod of fi nancerdquo Figure 5 illustrates the method of finance for $74 billion in appropriations for general academic institutions including a number of the indirect appropriations referenced in the next paragraph but does not include appropriations for employee retirement benefi ts

There are also appropriations that benefit institutions that are not reflected in the bill pattern of individual institutions including the Higher Education Fund the Available National Research University Fund Available University Fund certain employee benefits and funds trusteed to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB)

Figure 6 presents the percentage of funding related to each of these direct and indirect appropriations All of these appropriations are further described in the following pages

In addition general academic institutions have access to funds not reflected in the state appropriations process Examples of this include indirect cost recovery certain tuition and fees such as ldquodesignated tuitionrdquo and ldquoincidental feesrdquo (both are described in Appendix B) auxiliary operations (ie revenue from athletics student services fees bookstore and parking) and grants and gifts

FORMULA FUNDING Nearly 573 percent of state appropriations for general academic institutions are allocated via two funding formulas and two supplements Instruction and Operations Formula Teaching Experience Supplement Infrastructure Formula

and Small Institution Supplement The formulas and supplements are direct appropriations and are primarily based on enrollment

The formula appropriations consist of General Revenue Funds and some Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG) Other EampG includes specific tuition and fee revenue (see Appendix B for a listing of tuition and fee provisions) The inclusion of certain tuition and fee revenue in the formula funding calculation is referred to as an ldquoAll Funds methodologyrdquo to formula funding Th e most significant tuition revenue included in the formula calculation is tuition charged in accordance with Texas Education Code Section 54051 Interim Tuition Rates (referred to as statutory tuition) The statutory tuition rate for the 2012ndash13 academic year is $50 per semester credit hour for Texas residents Th e corresponding tuition rate for a nonresident student is the average nonresident tuition charged to a Texas resident at a public university in each of the five most populous states

Of the $40 billion allocated by the general academic formulas and supplements nearly 728 percent consists of General Revenue Funds with the remainder consisting of General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (Other EampG)

A portion of Other EampG income is set aside for specifi c purposes or allocated to non-formula based strategies in the

institutionrsquos bill pattern For example institutions set aside a portion of their tuition to provide Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) TPEG are grants designed to help students cover their tuition fees and textbook costs when these expenses exceed a certain portion of their familiesrsquo contributions to their educations This set-aside revenue is not part of the tuition and fee revenue used to calculate the funding formulas

INSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS FORMULA

About 815 percent of formula funds flow through the Instruction and Operations Formula ($32716 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) and Teaching Experience Supplement ($957 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) Th e Instruction and Operations formula is calculated as follows

Semester Credit Hours X ProgramLevel Weight X Rate (5371)

Semester credit hours (SCH) are a measurement of how many classes (and the number of students enrolled in those classes) an institution delivers The formula calculation for a biennium uses a ldquobase periodrdquo of SCH The ldquobase periodrdquo used for the 2012ndash13 biennium was the combination of summer 2010 fall 2010 and spring 2011

SCH is weighted by discipline (eg nursing is weighted more than liberal arts) and by level (ie lower and upper division masters doctoral and professional) For instance a lower division liberal arts course receives a weight of 10 A doctoral level liberal arts course receives a weight of 923 A nursing lower division course receives a weight of 203 A doctoral nursing course receives a weight of 925 Beginning with the 2006ndash07 GAA the basis for the weights per discipline was shifted to an aggregation of actual costs based on institutions Annual Financial Reports Currently THECB uses a rolling three year average to adjust the weights each biennium

THECB recommends a rate based on its recommended weights and program enhancements The legislature sets the weights and the rate in the Higher Education Special Provisions of the GAA (page III-238) In practice the legislature has set the rate based on available funding including consideration of enrollment changes and other factors Figure 7 illustrates the Instruction and Operations Formula allocation to institutions

TEACHING EXPERIENCE SUPPLEMENT

For the 2012ndash13 biennium an additional weight of ten percent is added to lower-division and upper-division semester credit hours taught by tenured and tenure-track faculty The 2012ndash13 GAA includes the following language ldquoFurthermore it is the intent of the Legislature that the weight shall increase by 10 percent per biennium up to 50 percentrdquo (Special Provisions Relating Only to State Agencies of Higher Education Sec 28 page III-238 2012ndash13 GAA)

The Teaching Experience Supplement is calculated as follows

Semester Credit Hours X ProgramLevel Weight Supplement (10) X Rate (5371)

The Teaching Experience Supplement was 5 percent during the 1998ndash99 and 2000ndash01 biennia Th e Seventy-seventh Legislature 2001 increased the supplement to the current 10 percent in 2002ndash03 biennium

INFRASTRUCTURE FORMULA

Almost 16 percent of formula funds flow through the Infrastructure Formula and Small Institution Supplement ($6768 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) In addition to

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 7

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

the universities the State Colleges and components of Texas State Technical College also receive infrastructure formula appropriations This formula uses a statewide infrastructure rate which is set in the GAA The statewide infrastructure rate is divided into two rates an Adjusted Utility Rate and an All Other Rate As with the SCH rate the legislature has set the rate based on available funding including consideration of changes in institutional space and other factors

The Infrastructure Formula is calculated as follows

(Adjusted Utility Rate + All Other Rates) X Predicted Square Feet

The Adjusted Utility Rate is 52 percent of the statewide infrastructure rate The 52 percent reflects the percentage of infrastructure formula funds that institutions historically spent on utilities A statewide utility rate is determined and then adjusted for each institution to reflect utility costs relative to other institutions

The All Other Rate is 48 percent of the statewide infrastructure rate and remains constant among institutions It accounts for physical plant grounds maintenance and custodial services

THECBrsquos Space Projection Model for Higher Education Institutions in Texas (space model) estimates square footage for each institution The objective of the space model projection is to calculate the amount of space an institution needs based on the following

bull number program and level of semester credit hours

bull number of faculty non-faculty students programs and library holdings and

bull research and current EampG expenditures

Figure 8 illustrates the Infrastructure Formula allocation to institutions The similarity of the allocation to the Instruction and Operations Formula allocation demonstrates the influence of enrollment on both formula allocations

SMALL INSTITUTION SUPPLEMENT

Prior to the Eighty-fi rst Legislature (2009) general academic institutions with enrollments of less than 5000 received a $750000 annual Small Institution Supplement However the Eighty-first Legislature increased the enrollment threshold to 10000 students and implemented a phase-out

(based on the number of students) of the supplement between 5000 and 10000 students for the 2012ndash13 biennium (see Figure 9) This supplement recognizes that institutions have a minimum cost of operation that may not be covered by funds generated through the formulas

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

Th e Eighty-first Legislature 2009 provided $414 million in General Revenue hold harmless funding for aff ected institutions to minimize the effect of reduced formula funding as a result of overall enrollment declines or declines in upper-division or graduate enrollment Decreases in formula funding could be caused by declining enrollment a shift from upper level or graduate semester credit hours to lower level hours a much smaller increase in enrollment than other institutions or a change in utility costs Th e Eighty-second Legislature 2011 provided $444 million in a hold harmless based on total General Revenue Funds (formula and non-formula) for the 2012ndash13 biennium

NON-FORMULA FUNDING

SPECIAL ITEMS

Special Item appropriations to the institutions total $4836 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium In 2012ndash13 $69 million was appropriated to system offices for special items These are direct appropriations to institutions for projects that are not funded by formula but are specifi cally identifi ed by the legislature as needing support An institution is not required to spend the amount identified in a Special Item strategy for that particular project but expenditure reports indicate that institutions often use an entire appropriation along with additional funding for the related project

The majority of special item funding is through the Institutional Enhancement strategy Institutional Enhancement is a $2204 million appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium This is a direct appropriation to institutions and was established by the Seventy-sixth Legislature 1999 for the 2000ndash01 biennium Th e fi rst Institutional Enhancement appropriation was based on a consolidation of certain Special Item appropriations in 1999 and an additional $1 million per year was appropriated for each institution Examples of consolidated special items are items that could be funded through the formulas such as general institutional academic and research support

For the 2002ndash03 biennium there was an additional $1 million increase in appropriations for most institutions and a $15 million increase for selected institutions in South Texas and the border region Institutions that benefi ted signifi cantly from the Seventy-seventh Legislaturersquos new University Research and Texas Excellence Funds (House Bill 1839 Seventy-seventh Legislature 2001) or from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) ldquoexcellence fundingrdquo did not receive an increase in Institutional Enhancement funds for the 2002ndash03 biennium

Other Special Items total $2632 million in appropriations for the 2012ndash13 biennium and include the following institutional and instructional support public service items research items other than general research support funding for separate campuses and accreditation program items

TEXAS COMPETITIVE KNOWLEDGE FUND

The Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund (TCKF) is authorized by the General Appropriations Act (GAA) (2012ndash13 Biennium) Article III Higher Education Special Provisions Section 56 The GAA prescribes that this funding will be used to support faculty for the purpose of instructional excellence and research Funding was first allocated in these strategies by the Legislature for the 2008ndash09 biennium

Current institutions receiving TCKF appropriations include The University of Texas at Austin Texas AampM University University of Houston Texas Tech University and Th e University of Texas at Dallas Institutions are allocated funding appropriated to the TCKF based on average research expenditures for the previous three-year period Th e Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 appropriated $935 million in Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund strategies directly to the institutions This funding level provides approximately $07 million to each institution for every $100 million in research expenditures In practice

when institutions have first received distributions from the fund appropriations have been reduced from the institutionrsquos special item strategies In subsequent biennia the institution continues to receive appropriations from the TCKF and the reduction in special items is not specifi cally restored

RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT FUND

The Research Development Fund was created by House Bill 3526 Seventy-eighth Legislature Regular Session 2003 and replaced the Texas Excellence and University Research Funds effective September 1 2005 The intent was to combine the Texas Excellence Fund and University Research Fund into a new fund applying a uniform allocation methodology based on a three-year average of each institutionrsquos restricted research expenditures Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature allocated $653 million (Figure 10) in the 2012ndash13 biennium to individual institutions to fund objectives identical to the Research Development Fund (Section 62091)

TEXAS RESEARCH INCENTIVE PROGRAM

Th e Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009 established the Texas Research Incentive Program (TRIP) at THECB to match state appropriations with certain gifts and endowments received by emerging research universities Th e goal of this $178 million a year program is to create more Tier One universities in Texas

PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE INITIATIVE

The Eightieth Legislature 2007 appropriated $100 million in fiscal year 2009 to THECB to establish a Higher Education Performance Incentive Initiative The funding was for ldquoimprovement in teaching and educational excellence at Texas public general academic institutionsrdquo THECB distributed $80 million for increases in degrees awarded with special weights given to critical fields and at-risk students The remaining $20 million was used to fund scholarships for students graduating in the top 10 percent of their high school class

Th e Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009 maintained the $80 million for the higher education performance incentive initiative (funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) and increased funding for the Top Ten Percent scholarship program by $34 million bringing total appropriations for the program to $54 million

There were no performance funding incentives for the 2012ndash13 biennium For the 2012ndash13 biennium $396

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 provided $444 million in General Revenue Funds hold harmless funding for aff ected institutions to minimize the effect of reduced formula and special item funding Decreases in formula funding could be caused by declining enrollment a shift from upper level or graduate semester credit hours to lower level hours a much smaller increase in enrollment that other institutions or a change in utility costs

CAPITAL FUNDS

In addition to the constitutional funds discussed in the next subsection there are three types of state appropriation for capital funds tuition revenue bonds Skiles Act revenue bonds and lease payments Almost all of the direct appropriations to institutions related to capital funds are for debt service on tuition revenue bonds

A $5931 million General Revenue Funds appropriation was made for tuition revenue bond debt service for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Tuition revenue bonds must be authorized in statute Once an authorization is made institutions issue bonds and make related debt payments with tuition revenue Th e Texas Public Finance Authority issues tuition revenue bonds for Midwestern State University Stephen F Austin University Texas Southern University and the Texas State Technical Colleges Legislative practice has been to use General Revenue Funds to reimburse institutions for the costs related to this debt service

The legislature first authorized tuition revenue bonds in 1971 In some instances the authorization was a lump sum for the benefit of specific institutions During the Seventy-eighth Legislature 2003 $2689 million in tuition revenue bonds was authorized for specific projects at various higher education institutions The Seventy-ninth Legislature Th ird Called Session 2005 adopted House Bill 153 which authorized the issuance of $1858 billion in tuition revenue bonds for forty-four different institutions Only one tuition revenue bond (House Bill 1775) was adopted by the Eightieth Legislature 2007 for a $13 million nursing building at Stephen F Austin University Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature 2009 authorized one tuition revenue bond for Texas AampM University at Galveston The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not authorize any new tuition revenue bonds

The authority for Skiles Act Revenue Bonds was repealed in 1997 It had allowed institutions to pledge up to $5 from each enrolled student for each regular semester to the payment of bonds authorized under the governing boardrsquos general authority to sell revenue bonds Institutions use their Other Educational and General Income (General Revenuendash Dedicated Funds) to pay the debt service on these previously authorized bonds This is a $10 million appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Three general academic institutions receive a $3 million General Revenue Fund appropriation for lease payments to community colleges for facilities

CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

These funds are appropriated separately in the GAA and not directly appropriated to the institutions (see Appendix D)

The Available University Fund (AUF) established in Section 18 Article VII Texas Constitution consists of the surface income and investment proceeds from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) a state endowment with land grants totaling 21 million acres

Distributions to the AUF consist of investment returns from PUF assets surface income from PUF lands and interest earned on AUF balances For the 2012ndash13 biennium investment returns were $12200 million surface income was $398 million and interest income was $59 million Income from the sale of PUF lands and the lease of mineral interest is retained in the PUF and invested

The total 2012ndash13 estimated appropriation for the AUF is $12660 million The Constitution appropriates two-thirds of the AUF to The University of Texas System and one-third to the Texas AampM University System The two systems may use the AUF for capital purposes (debt service on PUF bonds) for most of their institutions and ldquofor the support and maintenancerdquo of other institutions listed Entities authorized to receive funding for ldquosupport and maintenancerdquo which is now commonly referred to as ldquoAUF Excellence Fundingrdquo are the two system offi ces The University of Texas at Austin Texas AampM University and Prairie View AampM University The systemsrsquo boards of regents determine allocations to individual institutions including health-related institutions and the amounts for ldquoExcellencerdquo Figure 11 lists the recipients and the type of support they received

The Higher Education Fund (HEF) as authorized in Section 17 Article VII Texas Constitution benefits institutions of higher education not eligible for the AUF (see Figure 12)

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

The HEF is supported by General Revenue Fund appropriations

The distribution of the $525 million HEF appropriation for 2012ndash13 is provided for in statute (Texas Education Code Section 62021) The Constitution calls for a re-allocation of HEF funds every ten years The Seventy-ninth Legislature Regular Session fulfilled this requirement with the enactment of House Bill 3001

The Constitution also allows the legislature to adjust the decennial allocations every five years Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature Regular Session 2011 exercised this authority by enacting House Bill 51 which adjusted the formula allocation for the HEF funds for fiscal years 2009 through 2015

To maintain the equitable distribution of the HEF appropriation House Bill 51 also corrected the distribution of fiscal year 2009 and 2010 HEF allocations by using revised formula calculations Using these revised formula calculations House Bill 51 factored in updated data elements to generate the annual HEF allocations for the fi ve-year period starting in fiscal year 2011

HEF funds must be used for capital purposes Institutions may use HEF allocations for debt service on HEF bonds or as cash

In 1995 the Texas Constitution was amended to authorize the creation and funding of a dedicated HEF corpus known as the Permanent Higher Education Fund (PHEF) Th is corpus was separate from the annual HEF allocation of General Revenue Funds The PHEF was intended to become a permanent endowment to support non-PUF eligible institutions but never reached its targeted value of $2 billion

The PHEF corpus of $5159 million was rededicated with the enactment of Proposition 4 which amended Article 7 of the Texas Constitution by establishing the National Research University Fund (NRUF) The balance of the PHEF was transferred to the NRUF on January 1 2010 and the authorization for the PHEF expired Proposition 4 also allowed the legislature to appropriate some or all of the total returns from the NRUF to provide a source of funding to enable emerging research universities to achieve national prominence

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 appropriated $124 million in estimated NRUF proceeds to eligible institutions in the 2012ndash13 biennium

House Bill 1000 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 established the specific eligibility and distribution criteria for the 2012ndash13 NRUF appropriations To be eligible to receive NRUF appropriations an institution must meet two mandatory criteria and four out of six optional criteria The mandatory criteria are that the institution in designated as an emerging research university within the Higher Education Coordinating Boardrsquos Accountability System and that the institution reported at least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the preceding two fi scal years Optional criteria include the following possession of an endowment fund values in excess of $400 million awarding over 200 Doctor of Philosophy degrees per year having an entering freshman class of high academic achievement recognition of the institutions research capability and scholarly attainment possession of a high-quality faculty and possession of high-quality graduate education programs Texas Tech University and the University of Houston are the only two institutions that received funding through this program in 2012

HIGHER EDUCATION GROUP INSURANCE (HEGI)

The $4631 million General Revenue Fund appropriation for higher education group insurance (HEGI) is not a direct appropriation in the institutionsrsquo bill patterns It is appropriated in a separate section of the GAA entitled ldquoHigher Education Employees Group Insurance Contributionsrdquo This appropriation is intended to help institutions cover the cost of health insurance premiums for institution employees whose salaries are paid from the General Revenue Fund Because The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own health insurance programs they each receive separate appropriations The remaining institutions are included in the program operated by the Employees Retirement System (ERS)

The HEGI appropriation is sum-certain That is the Statersquos General Revenue Fund contributions are limited to each institutionrsquos number of employees enrolled in the health insurance program as of December 1 2012 However the GAA allows ERS The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems to transfer HEGI appropriations among institutions within their respective group insurance programs to address shortfalls in General Revenue Funds related to group insurance premiums

SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS

An appropriation for social security is included in the GAA at the end of Article III It is an estimated General Revenue

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

Fund appropriation to provide the employer matching funds for employees of institutions of higher education (Th is appropriation amount is not included in Figure 3 on page 2)

STAFF GROUP INSURANCE

Staff group insurance is for staff whose salaries are not paid with General Revenue Funds (GR) The appropriation is based on an estimation of the number of non-GR funded employees at an institution as of December 1 2010 Th e total appropriation for all general academic institutions is $1766 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium The method of finance is Other Educational and General Income (which is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds)

RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS

Appropriations for retirement contributions are included under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) bill patterns Some higher education employees primarily faculty and top administrators are eligible for ORP a defi ned contribution plan similar to a 401k Other higher education employees participate in TRS a defi ned benefit plan The state funds retirement contributions for TRS equal to 60 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal year 2012 and 64 percent in 2013 State contributions for ORP are equal to 60 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal years 2012 and 2013 (Th ese appropriation amounts are not included in Figure 3 on page 2)

OTHER NON-FORMULA FUNDING

WORKERSrsquo COMPENSATION

Changes in the structure of the statewide workersrsquo compensation system resulted in most institutions receiving General Revenue Fund appropriations for Workersrsquo Compensation starting in 2006ndash07 However Th e University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own workersrsquo compensation pools while all other institutions are part of the State Office of Risk Managementrsquos workersrsquo compensation pool

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

Most components of The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems have this strategy because they operate their own risk pools Th ese institutions receive General Revenue Fund appropriations for unemployment compensation insurance The appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium is $05 million in General Revenue Funds Th e Texas Workforce Commission receives an appropriation to

cover unemployment benefi ts for former state employees for all other higher education institutions

TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANTS

According to statute (Texas Education Code Chapter 56 Subchapter C and Texas Education Code Section 54051 [Statutory Tuition]) institutions must set aside a portion of tuition revenue for Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) Fifteen percent of each resident studentrsquos tuition and 3 percent of each nonresident studentrsquos tuition are set aside for financial aid to students at the institution Texas Education Code Section 56033 provides guidelines on the allocation of TPEG revenue The GAA includes an estimate of the amount of TPEG revenue each institution will generate Th is $2111 million estimated appropriation is considered Other Educational and General Income which are classifi ed as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY

Indirect costs as defined by The Comptroller of Public Accounts are ldquoincurred for a common or joint purpose benefiting more than one cost objectiverdquo Institutions negotiate a percentage of a federal grant for indirect costs There are a number of factors included in the calculation including building and equipment use allowance operations and maintenance general departmental and sponsored projects administration and library costs

The Seventy-eighth Legislature 2003 allowed universities to retain 100 percent of indirect costs income from research grants and contracts to encourage further research projects conducted by universities

ORGANIZED ACTIVITIES

Organized Activities are activities or enterprises connected with instructional departments whose primary function is training for students Examples include a university farm nurserypreschool programs an optometry clinic and lifeguard training Revenue from Organized Activities is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds Other EampG Income For the 2012ndash13 biennium $503 million is appropriated for Organized Activities

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

OVERVIEW Appropriations for the nine health-related institutions are similar in structure to the appropriations for general academic institutions There are formula and non-formula funding appropriations made directly to the institutions as well as appropriations that benefit the institutions but are not included in the institutionsrsquo bill patterns such as the Available University Fund certain staff benefi ts and funds trusteed at the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) While health-related institutions do not receive appropriations from the Research Development Fund they share many other types of appropriations similar to general academic institution appropriations Th ose appropriations will be briefly restated in this section of the report Figure 13 lists the institutions and their enrollment

Like other higher education institutions the appropriations for health-related institutions are a lump sum and funding strategies are presented for informational purposes in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) The funding strategies in a health-related institutionrsquos bill pattern represent how state funds are allocated but not how they must be spent Also certain methods of finance in the appropriation are estimated This means that if for example patient income for an institution is above the amount included in the GAA

the institution can spend more than the amount listed in the GAA

Also health-related institutions have access to an estimated $109 billion outside the appropriations process in 2012ndash13 Examples of this include certain tuition revenue indirect lost recovery grants and gifts

FORMULA FUNDING The three primary funding formulas for health-related institutions are Instruction and Operations support Infrastructure support and Research Enhancement Th e University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Th e University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler have additional formula allocations to accommodate their unique missions Each health-related institution also receives formula funding for graduate medical education

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 15

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

General Revenue funding and some Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated) fund the formulas Like general academic institutions certain tuition revenue is used in the calculation of the Instruction and Operation support and Infrastructure support formulas Of the $15 billion that is allocated by the health-related institutionsrsquo primary formulas 939 percent is from the General Revenue Fund and the remaining 61 percent is from General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (tuition and fee revenue)

Some tuition and fee income is set aside for specifi c purposes Some specific amounts are unavailable for formula purposes and consequently are not a formula method of fi nance For example health-related institutions set aside a portion of their tuition to provide Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) and Medical Loans

INSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS SUPPORT FORMULA

The Instruction and Operations (IampO) support formula represents nearly 755 percent of the primary formula funds for health-related institutions ($9282 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) It is intended to fund items such as faculty salaries departmental operating expenses instructional administration and libraries It is allocated on a per full-time student equivalent (FTSE) basis with a funding weight predicated on the instructional program of the student This formula applies to all health-related

institutions except The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler which did not offer education instruction during the base period for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Figure 15 illustrates the Instruction and Operations support formula among the eight health-related institutions

The Instruction and Operations support formula is calculated as follows

(FTSE X Program Weight X $8874) + SmallMultiple Campus Supplement

FTSE is weighted by discipline For example medicine (4753) is weighted more than pharmacy (1670) Allied Health is assigned a weight of 1000

The Legislature sets the weights and the rate ($8874 adjusted for the 2012ndash13 biennium) in the Higher Education Special Provisions of the GAA (Sec 29 page III-239 and 240) The rate is calculated based on the available revenue for the formula and the number of FTSEs

Programs with enrollments less than 200 receive a Small Campus Supplement (see Figure 16)

INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT FORMULA

The Infrastructure support formula is 194 percent of the primary formula funding and is intended for utilities and physical plant support ($2383 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) This formula calculation is similar to that for general academic institutions but includes only one rate ($655) for all institutions except The University of Texas

THECBrsquos space model predicts square footage for each institution The space model projection is based on the following

bull number and level of FTE students

bull number of faculty

bull single or multiple programs and campuses

bull actual clinical space and

bull research and current EampG expenditures

Because the space projection model does not account for hospital space separate infrastructure funding for hospital space is included in the total funding for hospital and patient-care activities at The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

RESEARCH FORMULA

Health-related institutions generate state appropriations to support research through General Revenue Funds in the Research Enhancement formula ($629 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) The Research Enhancement formula accounts for 51 percent of the primary formula funds and is funded entirely from the General Revenue Fund

The allocation is based on the amount of research generated by each institution

$1412500 + (110 X Research

Expenditures)

This provides a base Institutions report for all institutions current research

regardless of research expenditures to volume THECB

Figure 18 illustrates the Research Enhancement formula allocation to the institutions among the nine health-related institutions

GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION

The Seventy-ninth Legislature 2005 established a new formula for funding graduate medical education in the 2006ndash07 GAA For 2012ndash13 the funding totals $46 million

NON-FORMULA FUNDING

PATIENT CARE ACTIVITIES

Some institutions conduct patient care activities generally medical or dental For the 2012ndash13 biennium the estimated appropriation for Patient Income was $56 billion Th e hospital and clinic revenues earned through patient care activities are considered Other Funds which are part of Educational and General Income (not to be confused with Other Educational and General Income which is another subset of Educational and General Income) General Revenue funding supplements patient-care income to varying degrees at each institution Patient Income is an estimated appropriation and is spread across an institutionrsquos funding strategies however it is not used in the calculation of the formulas

INSTITUTIONAL ENHANCEMENT

Institutional Enhancement is a General Revenue Fund appropriation that started in the 2000ndash01 biennium It is designed to allow each institution to address its unique needs and diseconomies of scale at institutions with smaller campuses The total institutional enhancement appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium was $42 million which includes $407 million in General Revenue Funds and $16 million in Patient Income

SPECIAL ITEMS

Special items are activities that are not generally funded through the formulas and typically represent an institutionrsquos special needs or areas of expertise The $3107 million in General Revenue Funds for the 2012ndash13 biennium funds items such as residency programs academic outreach programs public service items and research items other than general research support Institutions propose and justify special items and request an amount for each on an ad hoc basis Special items generally remain constant from biennium to biennium unless the item was a one-time expense (eg tornado damage repairs) or the institution has not used the funding for the intended purpose

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

These funds are not directly appropriated to institutions in the GAA In other words these funds are not found in a strategy within an institutionrsquos bill pattern

Health-related institutions are eligible for funding from the Available University Fund ($146 million in Other Funds allocated to these institutions by system offices for the 2012ndash 13 biennium) and the Higher Education Fund ($257 million in General Revenue Funds appropriated for the 2012ndash13 biennium) which are presented in detail in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section of this report

CAPITAL FUNDS

Just like general academic institutions tuition revenue bonds ($1665 million in General Revenue Funds for related debt service in the 2012ndash13 biennium) are also used to fund capital projects at health-related institutions A detailed presentation of tuition revenue bonds is in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center also have separate appropriations for capital projects that are funded primarily with Patient Income

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Like general academic institutions health-related institutions benefit from direct and indirect state appropriations related to employee benefi ts The indirect appropriations include Higher Education Group Insurance ($2339 million in General Revenue Funds for the 2012ndash13 biennium) Retirement Contributions and Social Security Benefi ts (all presented in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section) The direct appropriations include Staff Group Insurance

For the 2012ndash13 biennium the Workersrsquo Compensation and Unemployment Compensation strategies (all presented in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section) are funded directly with General Revenue Funds and General RevenuendashDedicated Funds However The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own workersrsquo compensation pools while all other institutions are part of the State Office of Risk Managementrsquos workersrsquo compensation pool The University of Texas and Texas AampM Systems also manage their own unemployment compensation coverage while all other institutions receive coverage from

the Texas Workforce Commission which receives an appropriation to cover unemployment benefi ts

TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANTS

Health-related institutions similar to general academic institutions are subject to the Texas Education Code (sect56031 et al) provision requiring a portion of tuition revenue be set aside to fund Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) For the 2012ndash13 biennium the estimated TPEG appropriation is $188 million This revenue is considered Other Education and General Income which is classifi ed as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY

As mentioned earlier in this section Indirect Cost Recovery was removed from the GAA for the 2010ndash11 biennium however the individual institution still receives the funds

TOBACCO SETTLEMENT

House Bill 1945 Seventy-sixth Legislature 1999 established the Permanent Health Fund for health-related institutions of Higher Education the Permanent Fund for Minority Health Research and Education the Permanent Fund for Higher Education Nursing Allied Health and Other Health Related Programs and 13 permanent endowments for individual institutions of higher education The $769 million in estimated interest earnings from the endowments for 2012ndash13 (based on estimated interest earnings of 45 percent each year) were appropriated to the health-related institutions

OVERVIEW Public two-year lower-level institutions include 50 community and junior college districts four Texas State Technical College (TSTC) campuses and three Lamar State Colleges These institutions were appropriated $22 billion in state funding for the 2012ndash13 biennium Preliminary fall FIGURE 20 TWO-YEAR INSTITUTION FUNDING MECHANISMS 2012ndash13 BIENNIUM

2011 enrollment at these institutions totaled 789713 Figure 20 illustrates the funding mechanisms for these institutions Community colleges accounted for 983 percent of this enrollment total while the Texas State Technical and Lamar State Colleges composed the remaining portion

COMMUNITY COLLEGES

Instruction and Administration General Revenue Funds from the state are based on contact hour driven formulas for two-year institutions Tuition and fee revenues and local tax revenues augment state General Revenue Funds for these costs

Academic Courses Approximately 82 percent of the total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are academic courses

Technical Courses Approximately 18 percent of the total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are vocationaltechnical courses

Physical Plant The state provides no funding for physical plant operations and maintenance Local taxing districts are expected to provide support for physical plant needs Community colleges are projected to receive approximately $12 billion in tax income in fiscal year 2011

Facilities Local communities must provide facilities Community colleges are not eligible to receive Higher Education Fund (HEF) allocations Available University Fund allocations or state tuition revenue bonds

Employee Benefits While community college employees are locally-employed community colleges participate in the Employee Retirement System (ERS) Group Benefits Program for health benefi ts and the Teacher Retirement System(TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) for retirement benefits The state makes General Revenue Fund contributions for the health and retirement benefits

Tuition Fee Revenues Tuition and fee revenues are considered institutional funds and are not appropriated by the state Tuition rates vary by institution In 2012 the statewide tuition rates plus fees averaged $73 per semester credit hour but varied from $34 to $208 per semester credit hour

Local Tax Revenue Community Colleges are projected to receive approximately $12 billion in tax income in fiscal year 2011 Local tax revenues are expected to provide support for physical plant needs and augment state General Revenue Funds for instruction and administration costs

Academic Courses Approximately 39 percent at the Lamar colleges and 28 percent at Texas State Technical College (TSTC) of total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are academic courses

Technical Courses Approximately 61 percent at the Lamar colleges and 72 percent at TSTC of total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are vocationaltechnical courses

Physical Plant State funding based on the formula for general academic institutions The Lamar colleges will receive approximately $71 million and TSTC will receive $157 million in General Revenue Funds for physical plant and utilities in the 2012ndash13 biennium

Facilities The Lamar colleges receive approximately $42 million annually from HEF funds and TSTC receives almost $58 million annually The HEF monies are used to acquire land construct and equip buildings provide major building repair or rehabilitation and acquire capital equipment and library materials

Employee Benefits Both the Lamar colleges and TSTC institutions participate in ERSrsquo Group Benefits Program for health benefits and the TRS and ORP programs for retirement benefits The state makes General Revenue Fund contributions for the health and retirement benefits of those employees having their salaries paid with General Revenue Funds

Tuition Fee Revenues Certain tuition revenue is appropriated by the state In 2012 for resident students average tuition plus fees was $139 per semester credit hour at the Lamar colleges and $150 per semester credit hour at TSTC

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

These institutions are primarily funded based on student contact hours A contact hour is a standard unit of measure that represents an hour of scheduled academic and technical instruction given to students during a semester Community and junior college districts generate almost 958 percent of the state-funded contact hours at two-year institutions TSTC components generate approximately 29 percent of the contact hours and the three Lamar State Colleges account for the 13 percent

COMMUNITY COLLEGES Over 99 percent of the direct appropriations to community colleges are from the General Revenue Fund and are generated through a funding formula The remaining direct appropriations are for isolated ldquospecial itemsrdquo including appropriations for the Southwest Collegiate Institute for the Deaf which is part of the appropriation for Howard College The Texas Education Code Section 130003(a) calls for state appropriations to public community colleges to ldquosupplement local funds for the proper support maintenance operation and improvement of those public junior colleges of Texas that meet the standards prescribed by the chapterrdquo Further Education Code Section 130003(c) indicates that state funds must be used ldquoexclusively for the purpose of paying salaries of instructional and administrative forceshellip and the purchase of supplies and materials for instructional purposesrdquo

Consistent with statute community colleges have their own Instruction and Administration Formula which is funded by General Revenue Funds and based on ldquostudent contact hoursrdquo Unlike general academic institution formulas this formula does not include tuition and fee revenue as part of the method of fi nance

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 also provided $45 million to certain districts through a new small institution supplemental formula A district is eligible for the supplement if it makes a significantly above-average effort to generate tax income while at the same time experiencing below-average tax revenue and does not have a number of contact hours that exceeds the statewide median Th e Eighty-second Legislature appropriated each eligible district $05 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium

No state funding is provided for physical plant operations and maintenance or for facilities that is supported by local tax eff ort

Three community colleges receive weighted semester credit hour formula funding for a Bachelor of Applied Technology degree program

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

Th e Eighty-first Legislature 2009 provided $153 million in General Revenue formula hold harmless funding for aff ected community colleges to minimize the effect of reduced formula funding as a result of overall contact hour declines The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not provide any hold harmless funding in the 2012ndash13 biennium

Property taxes tuition and fees are other major sources of revenue for community colleges Figure 21 illustrates the estimated sources of funding for community colleges Th e state appropriations in Figure 21 include all formula special item Higher Education Group Insurance appropriations and retirement benefi t appropriations

FORMULA FUNDING

The basis of the formula starts with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) Report of Fundable Operating Expenses (RFOE) (formally called the All Funds Expenditure Report) The study includes all expenditures for instruction and administration (facilities costs are not included) in 26 program areas THECB uses the expenditure data to determine the median cost in the 26 program areasmdashthe ldquoratesrdquo for contact hours in those disciplines THECB then makes a recommendation for

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

funding based on the rates Over the years THECB has used various methodologies as the basis for its funding recommendations Because the RFOE takes into account all funds (state appropriations plus tuition and tax revenue which are not appropriated) THECBrsquos recommendation for state funding has generally not equaled 100 percent of the rates

The amount of the appropriation is a legislative decision based on funds available The appropriation is allocated to the colleges according to each districtrsquos pro-rata share of THECB recommendations

HIGHER EDUCATION GROUP INSURANCE (HEGI)

Like state institutions of higher education community colleges receive General Revenue Fund contributions for group insurance However since community college employees are local not state employees state contributions for health benefits are fully discretionary Other agencies and institutions of higher education report employee eligibility for General Revenue-funded group health insurance benefi ts only if the employeersquos salary is directly paid with General Revenue Funds However in the past community colleges tended to base eligibility for General Revenue-funded benefits if the employeersquos job function fell under an approved ldquoelement of costrdquo This practice caused community colleges to report eligibility for state funded health benefits in a manner that did not always match the source of the employeersquos salary

This practice led to the Governorrsquos veto of the Group Health Insurance appropriation for fiscal year 2009 ($154 million) at the end of the Eightieth Legislative session However an agreement to restore the vetoed funds was reached and returned directly to the districts in House Bill 4586 Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009

The Eight-Second Legislature 2011 allowed community colleges to receive General Revenue Fund contributions for employees whose job function fell under an approved ldquoelement of costrdquo However the Legislature only funded 42 percent of the premium costs for these employees

OTHER STAFF BENEFITS

Appropriations for retirement contributions are included under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) bill patterns Some higher education employees primarily faculty and certain administrators are eligible for ORP a defi ned contribution plan similar to a 401k Other higher education employees

participate in TRS a defi ned benefit plan In both instances the state funds retirement contributions equal 60 and 64 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal year 2012 and fi scal year 2013 respectively (These appropriation amounts are not included in Figure 2 on page 3)

DRAMATIC ENROLLMENT GROWTH

Since the 1996ndash97 biennium public community colleges have received ldquoDramatic Enrollment Growth Fundingrdquo For the 2000ndash01 biennium this was expanded to include Texas State Technical Colleges and Lamar State Colleges (Lamars) The appropriation was made to THECB Rider 13 page IIIshy53 General Appropriations Act (2010ndash11 Biennium) provided guidelines for distributing this funding

For the 2010ndash11 biennium THECB is authorized to allocate up to $175 million per year to schools experiencing a growth rate of five percent or greater in 2010 and eight percent or greater in 2011 The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not provide any dramatic enrollment growth funding in the 2012-13 biennium

OTHER TRUSTEED FUNDS

Students at community colleges also benefi t from Texas Educational Opportunity Grants the student fi nancial aid program appropriation that is allocated by THECB

TEXAS STATE TECHNICAL COLLEGE LAMAR STATE COLLEGES The Texas State Technical Colleges (TSTC) and Lamar State Colleges are allocated a majority of their appropriation via two formulas the Instruction and Administration Formula for two-year institutions and the Infrastructure Formula for general academic institutions Similar to general academic institutions the tuition revenue for these colleges is included in the appropriations bill

Contact hours for vocationaltechnical courses represent approximately 61 percent of total contact hours at the Lamar State Colleges and 72 percent at TSTC institutions Th e remaining contact hours are generated from academic and continuing education courses

Facilities funding is available from the Higher Education Fund for both TSTC and the Lamars State Colleges and both have received Tuition Revenue Bond authorizations

FUNDING TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES

There are seven research and service agencies that are administered by the Texas AampM University System Th e system agenciesrsquo missions differ from other institutions of higher education in that each system agency focuses on one or two of the three traditional missions of higher education institutions research extension and service (Figure 22)

FIGURE 22 TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES MISSIONS AND FUNCTIONS

STATUTORY AUTHORITY MISSIONFUNCTIONS

For the 2012ndash13 biennium the total direct appropriations for Texas AampM System (System) agencies are $8897 million In addition to state appropriations the System agencies receive some Federal Funds that are not included in the General Appropriations Act and have access to private funds While System agencies have significant portions of their Other Funds and Federal Funds appropriated the appropriations are estimated and actual income from these funding sources is subject to signifi cant variation

FUNDING TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES

FIGURE 23 TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES COMPARED TO INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION

SIMILARITIES

FUNDING

Both Texas AampM System (System) agencies and institutions of higher education have considerable flexibility in their budgeting and financial operations (ldquolump sumrdquo appropriations)

Both are eligible to receive proceeds from the Permanent University Fund

Both are considered to be institutions of higher education for purposes of employee group health insurance

Both System agencies and institutions of higher education generate and keep 100 percent of indirect cost recovery from research and other grants

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

OPERATIONS

Like other institutions of higher education System agencies are not required to submit operating budgets or strategic plans

Both are statutorily embedded within the Texas AampM Systemrsquos institutional framework

SOURCE Legislative Budget Board

DIFFERENCES

General academic health-related and two-year institutions receive formula funding while System agencies do not

Texas AampM System agencies do not generate revenue in the same manner or amount of other higher education institutions

Performance measures for the System agencies are agency-specific while performance measures for other higher education institutions are standardized

In several ways state funding for System agencies is similar to funding for higher education institutions System agencies have considerable flexibility in their budgeting and fi nancial operations because they receive lump-sum appropriations in the same manner as other institutions of higher education They are eligible to receive funds from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) (They were allocated $153 million from the PUF for debt service in the 2012ndash13 biennium) System agencies are also funded in the same manner as other institutions of higher education with regard to staff benefi ts including employee group health insurance contributions

However there are several funding diff erences between System agencies and other higher education institutions Most significantly System agencies do not receive formula-based funding Also while some System agencies may charge fees for their services they do not generate tuition and fees in the same manner or quantity as other institutions of higher education

As is the case with all institutions the System agencies keep 100 percent of their respective indirect cost recovery income

because this income is derived from earnings on federal grants and is held outside the treasury

For the 2012ndash13 biennium funding associated with infrastructure expenses and utilities for System agencies inside Brazos County is equal to the infrastructure rate (as determined by the General Academic formulas on page 6) for Texas AampM University

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q What are the limitations on how institutions spend state appropriations

A Generally speaking institutions have great fl exibility in spending appropriated funds however some limitations do exist depending on the source of revenue Appropriated revenue includes General Revenue Funds General Revenuendash Dedicated Funds (mostly tuition and fee income) Other Funds (including Patient Income) and Federal Funds (for certain Texas AampM System Agencies) Th e Texas Constitution (Article VII Section 18(i) and 17(j)) prohibits with limited exceptions the use of General Revenue Funds for acquiring land or for construction projects An exception occurs when the legislature by two-thirds vote in each house expressly determines that there is a demonstrated need for the project

Various provisions in the 2012ndash13 General Appropriations Act (GAA) Higher Education Special Provisions restrict state appropriations These restrictions include the following

bull Section 6 (Rider 8b) which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for auxiliary enterprises

bull Section 6 (Rider 9) which limits the use of these funds to pay debt service for statutorily authorized tuition revenue bonds Any such appropriation not spent must be returned to the General Revenue Fund at the end of the year

bull Section 9 which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for intercollegiate athletics purposes and

bull Section 54 which limits the use of the Research Development Fund to those defined in Education Code Section 62091

Q Would an increase in tuition revenue replace a corresponding amount in General Revenue Funds or would the revenue remain within the institution

A The result depends on how the Legislature responds

For instance assume that the Eight-second Legislature 2011 changed the statute to require institutions to charge nonresident tuition in circumstances where they had previously waived the nonresident tuition rate For the 2012ndash13 biennium institutions would benefit fully from the

increase in tuition revenue (This assumes the formula calculation would not include a projected increase in tuition)

However institutional appropriations in the 2014ndash15 biennium now depend on that legislation passed in the Eighty-third Legislature 2013 Assuming the same number of students (semester credit hours) enroll regardless of changes in tuition policy and that the result of charging nonresident tuition generated $100 million in additional tuition revenue there are three options

1 Reduce General Revenue Funds (GR) in the formulas by $100 million In this scenario the formula rate stays the same and every dollar increase in tuition revenue results in a dollar decrease in GRmdashinstitutional funding does not increase

2 Keep GR the same and run the additional tuition revenue through the formulas Th e formula funding rate would increase and every institution would receive more funds including those institutions that generated no additional tuition revenue

3 Keep GR formula appropriations at the same level and let individual institutions keep the additional tuition revenue they generated outside the formula allocation

Q Are all tuition and fee revenues collected by institutions of higher education included in the appropriations bill

A No None of the tuition and fee revenues collected by community colleges are appropriated

For general academic institutions an estimate of the revenue from certain tuitions and fees such as statutory tuition (Education Code 54051 Tuition Rates) board authorized tuition (Education Code 54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board) Laboratory Fees (Education Code 54501) and certain other fees are appropriated in the GAA as General Revenue FundsndashDedicated Estimated Other Educational and General Income There are a number of other tuitions and fees that are not included in the GAA and therefore not referred to as state funding Such tuitions and fees include but are not limited to designated tuition (Education Code 540513 Redesignation of Building Use Fee) and Incidental Fees (Education Code 54504) Federal

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 27

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Funds are also not appropriated to the general academic and health-related institutions

Q Is a decrease in enrollment the only reason an institution would be eligible for formula funding hold harmless

A No Each session the Legislature makes a determination of whether it will make an appropriation for formula hold harmless A decrease in total enrollment is one reason an institution could be eligible for the funding Because the semester credit hours (general academic institutions) full-time student equivalents (health-related institutions) used in the formulas are based on weights (discipline program and course level) a change in the type of student enrollment regardless of total enrollment could also make an institution eligible for hold harmless funding

Q What are Educational and General Funds

A ldquoOther Educational and General Incomerdquo is a subset of ldquoEducational and General Incomerdquo The following are included in the Education Code (51009(c)) defi nition for ldquoEducational and General Fundsrdquo net tuition special course fees charged under Education Code 54051(e) and (l) lab fees student teaching fees hospital and clinic fees organized activity fees and proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment

Q What does it mean to be a Tier One institution

A The Tier One reference is often derived from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teachingrsquos prior system for classifying institutions of higher education As part of the 1994 version of the Carnegie Classification there were four categories for doctorate granting institutions Research Universities I Research Universities II Doctoral Universities I and Doctoral Universities II ldquoTier Onerdquo was synonymous with Research Universities I Such institutions had to off er a full range of baccalaureate programs award 50 or more doctoral degrees each year and receive annually at least $40 million or more in federal research funds Two institutions in Texas (The University of Texas at Austin and Texas AampM University) met these criteria The 2000 version of the Carnegie Classification collapsed the categories for doctorate granting institutions from four to two Doctoral Research UniversitiesmdashExtensive and DoctoralResearch UniversitiesmdashIntensive Six public institutions in Texas (Texas AampM University Texas Tech University University of Houston University of North Texas The University of Texas at Arlington and The University of Texas at Austin) meet the criteria for DoctoralResearch Universitiesmdash

Extensive In 2005 however the classifi cation structure returned to a more restricted top tier of institutions classifi ed as ldquoResearch Universities (very high research activity)rdquo Both The University of Texas at Austin and Texas AampM University are now counted in this category but any reference to Tier One usually refers to the 1994 Carnegie Classifi cation

Q What is the space model What is the base number of square feet needed

A In 1992 the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approved the Space Projection Model for Higher Education Institutions in Texas for public universities to assess the net assignable square feet (NASF) of educational and general space an institution needs There are fi ve categories incorporated into the model teaching library research offi ce and support space Space needs for auxiliary purposes such as dormitories or athletics are not included in the model Square footage amounts are assigned based on a number of elements within each category including the number of students and their program levels and the amount of research expenditures The space model was fi rst incorporated into the funding formulas for general academic institutions in 1997

Q What are ldquoOrganized Activitiesrdquo

A General academic institutions have a funding strategy titled ldquoOrganized Activitiesrdquo These are activities or enterprises that are connected with instructional departments Th ey are intended primarily to give training to students Examples include a university farm nurserypreschool programs an optometry clinic and lifeguard training

Q What are tuition revenue bonds

A Established in 1971 under Education Code 5513 tuition revenue bonds are bonds (not to exceed 50 years) issued by institutions of higher education for the purpose of ldquoproviding funds to acquire purchase construct improve enlarge andor equip any property buildings structures activities services operations or other facilities for and on behalf of its institution or institutions or any branch of branches thereofrdquo Each institutionsystem is authorized and required to pay debt service on its bonds Although the authorization and issuance of the bonds is not contingent on an appropriation by the state for related debt service the Legislature has provided General Revenue Funds to reimburse institutions for costs related to debt service However in the 2004ndash05 GAA the legislature changed this practice and only provided General Revenue Fund reimbursements for interest

LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 28

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

on bonds issued after March 31 2003 The 2006ndash07 GAA renewed the practice of reimbursing institutions for the costs related to debt service The 2008ndash09 GAA and 2010-11 GAA continues this practice

Q What Is Proportionality

A Pursuant to Section 608 of Article IX of the 2012ndash13 GAA the legislative intent of proportionality is to ldquomaximize balances in the General Revenue Fundrdquo by harmonizing salary funding source with benefits funding source Th is effectively means the Legislature limits its General Revenue Fund contributions for benefits only to those employees having salaries paid with General Revenue Funds As such proportionality requires employee health and retirement benefits be paid in ldquoproportionrdquo to the funding source of salaries To this end institutions are obligated to submit the Accounting Policy Statement 011 Benefits Proportional by Fund (APS 011) report to the Comptroller Th is document provides a structure by which state and local contributions are ldquosettled uprdquo in light of the fiscal years fund proportionality

Q What Is the National Research University Fund

A In 1995 the Texas Constitution was amended to authorize the creation and funding of the Permanent Higher Education Fund (PHEF) The PHEF was intended eventually to become a permanent endowment to support non-Permanent University Fund eligible institutions However the PHEF corpus was rededicated with the voter passage of Proposition 4 which amended Article 7 of the Texas Constitution by establishing the National Research University Fund (NRUF) In 2009 Proposition 4 transferred the balance of the PHEF to the credit of the NRUF as of January 1 2010 and repealed the constitutional authorization for the PHEF

The NRUF is intended to provide a source of funding to enable emerging research universities in Texas to achieve national prominence as major research universities Article VII of the Texas Constitution authorizes the Legislature to appropriate some or all of the total return on all investment assets of the NRUF for the purposes of the fund except for two caveats (1) the Legislature may not increase distributions from the fund if the purchasing power of investment assets for any rolling 10-year period is not preserved and (2) the amount appropriated from the proceeds of the NRUF corpus in any fiscal year must be capped at 7 percent of the investment assetsrsquo average net fair market value Until the NRUF has been invested long enough to determine its purchasing power over a 10-year period the Legislature is

authorized to use other means of preserving the purchasing power of the fund

House Bill 1000 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 establishes the specific eligibility and distribution criteria for the 2012ndash13 NRUF appropriations To be eligible to receive NRUF appropriations an institution must meet two mandatory criteria and four out of six optional criteria The mandatory criteria are that the institution is designated as an emerging research university within the THECBrsquos Accountability System and that the institution reported at least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the preceding two fiscal years Optional criteria include the following possession of an endowment fund values in excess of $400 million awarding over 200 Doctor of Philosophy degrees per year having an entering freshman class of high academic achievement recognition of institutionrsquos research capability and scholarly attainment possession of a high-quality faculty and possession of high-quality graduate education programs

APPENDIX B TUITION AND FEE PROVISIONS

VTCA Texas Education Code Section 54003 states No institution of higher education may collect from students attending the institution any tuition fee or charge of any kind except as permitted by lawhellip

The laws governing tuition and fees at institutions of higher education are found in Education Code Section 54 including a limited number of rules that relate to tuition and fees charged by junior and community colleges Education Code Section 54 includes statutes regarding statewide tuition and fee authority rules regarding residency for tuition and fee purposes and various exemptions for tuition and fees from nonresidency status Also it includes specific fee authority for individual institutions Figure B1 provides a listing of tuition and fee authorizations in Education Code Section 54 but does not include the items presented below or the various exemption and waiver provisions (Details about each provision can be found at httpwwwcapitolstate txus) Th ere are isolated instances outside Chapter 54 whereby the boards of regents are authorized to charge for specific services provided to students

This appendix highlights some of the more prominent tuition and fee provisions and indicates whether the related revenue is or is not included in the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT Tuition and fee revenue included in the GAA as General Revenue DedicatedndashFunds is referenced as ldquoOther Education and General Incomerdquo The amounts are ldquoEstimatedrdquo so whatever amount of revenue generated is the actual amount available to the institution to spend

54051 Tuition Rates (statutory tuition) In conjunction with Section 540512 Interim Tuition Rates resident tuition for undergraduate students reached $50 per semester credit hour in the 2005ndash06 academic year (the 2006 state fi scal year) Tuition for nonresident students at general academic medical and dental institutions is based on the average of nonresident tuition rates in the five most populous states other than Texas The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board must make this computation each academic year

54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board (also known as board authorized tuition) Applies to graduate programs Subsection (d) specifies that it is not to be used in the GAA as an offset to General Revenue Funds It is distributed across formula strategies after the formula calculation

54501 Laboratory Fees The fee amount must be sufficient to cover the general costs of laboratory materials and supplies used by a student It is not to be less than $2 or more than $30 per semester and it must not exceed the actual cost of materials and supplies

NOT INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT 540513 Designated Tuition Statute defi nes designated tuition as an institutional fund which means the revenue is not considered part of ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo Th e governing board can waive designated tuition for a student (see 54261) Statute specifies that this revenue not be used in the GAA as a way to offset General Revenue

54503 Student Services Fees This is intended for activities which are separate from the regularly scheduled academic functions of the institution and directly involve or benefi t students Except for The University of Texas at Austin (see 54513) and components of the University of Houston System (see 545061) the maximum of all compulsory student services cannot exceed $250 per semester It is kept separate from educational and general funds

54504 Incidental Fees The governing board sets the fee which must reasonably reflect the actual cost of the materials or services for which the fee is collected Examples of unearned fees include late registration library fi nes microfilming fees thesis or doctoral manuscript reproduction or filing fees and bad check charges

5516 Board Responsibility The governing board is authorized to ldquofix and collect rentals rates and chargesrdquo

APPENDIX C GLOSSARY

APPROPRIATION METHODOLOGIES Direct Appropriation The actual appropriation either estimated or sum certain listed in that institutionrsquos portion of the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

Indirect Appropriation An appropriation made on behalf of an institution but not listed in that institutionrsquos portion of the GAA Examples include appropriations to the Available University Fund the Higher Education Fund and the Higher Education Coordinating Board all of which are ultimately allocated to institutions

Estimated Appropriation An estimated appropriation is a figure in the GAA that best reflects the information available about the revenue source but the amount available for an institution to spend is contingent on the amount of revenue actually generated If the actual amount of revenue is less than the estimated amount the institution is limited to the lower amount If more revenue is generated than the estimated amount the institution can spend the higher amount

Sum Certain Appropriation A sum certain appropriation in the GAA means that an institution is limited to spend no more than the level of appropriation noted in the institutionrsquos bill pattern in the GAA

Lump Sum Appropriation Texas Education Code Section 61059(k) calls for flexibility in funds appropriated to higher education institutions A lump sum appropriation is a single amount that is unrestricted which means that it can be used for any variety of strategies The GAA provides an ldquoInformational Listing of Appropriated Fundsrdquo below each institutionrsquos lump sum appropriation Higher education institutions are not required to spend their appropriation within specified strategies One exception to this is the Tuition Revenue Bond strategy which represents the appropriation related to debt service on related bonds and must be spent as appropriated or it is reverted to the treasury

METHODS OF FINANCE General Revenue (GR) The non-dedicated portion of the General Revenue Fund is the statersquos primary operating fund Most state tax revenue many state fees and various other sources of revenue are deposited as non-dedicated General Revenue Funds

General RevenuendashDedicated (GRndashD) This is the dedicated portion of General Revenue Funds For higher education institutions the bulk of General RevenuendashDedicated Fund appropriations consist of tuition and fee revenue generated by the institutions These include the tuition and fee revenue included as ldquoOther Educational and General Incomerdquo (defined below) ldquoboard authorized tuitionrdquo (Texas Education Code Section 54008)

Other Funds State funds not included in General Revenue Funds or General RevenuendashDedicated Funds For institutions of higher education these include the Available University Fund and Patient Income generated by health-related institutions

FUND TYPES Educational and General Income Th e Texas Education Code (51009(c)) definition for ldquoEducational and General Fundsrdquo includes (a) net tuition (b) special course fees charged under Education Code Section 54051(e) and (l) (c) lab fees (d) student teaching fees (e) hospital and clinic fees (f ) organized activity fees and (g) proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment

Institutional Funds Texas Education Code Section 51009(b) defines institutional funds as those that are not ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo An example of an institutional fund is ldquodesignated tuitionrdquo (Texas Education Code Section 540513) These funds are not included in the GAA

Local Funds Texas Education Code Section 51009(a) defines local funds as net tuition certain special course fees lab fees student teaching fees hospital and clinic fees organized activity fees proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment and indirect cost recovery fees Th is revenue is accounted for as ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo and is included in the GAA

Other Educational and General Income The GAA includes some tuition and fees collected by institutions of higher education (General RevenuendashDedicated Funds) Th e revenue from tuition and fees such as statutory tuition (see texas Education Code Section 54051 Tuition Rates) board authorized tuition (see Texas Education Code Section 54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board) Laboratory

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 37

APPENDIX C GLOSSARY

Fees (Texas Education Code Section 54501) and certain other fees are considered Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG) and are appropriated in the GAA as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds Other Educational and General Income is a subset of Educational and General Income (EampG Income)

Patient Income Health-related institutions that operate hospitals or dental clinics generate patient income from services rendered It is allocated as a method of finance to the related institution across a range of strategies in the institutionrsquos bill pattern (Other Funds) For the 2010ndash11 biennium more than $48 billion in patient income was appropriated making it the largest method of fi nance for health-related institutions

OTHER ITEMS Indirect Cost Recovery Institutions negotiate a percentage of a grant with the federal government for Indirect Costs There are a number of factors included in the calculation including building and equipment use allowance operations and maintenance general departmental and sponsored projects administration and library costs

INTRODUCTION

The Texas public higher education system encompasses 38 general academic teaching institutions (including law schools) 50 community and junior college districts one technical college system with four main campuses three lower-division state colleges and nine health-related institutions which operate a total of eight state medical schools three dental schools two pharmacy schools and other allied health and nursing units In addition there are seven agencies that are components of the Texas AampM University System

Private institutions in Texas include 38 four year colleges and universities two junior colleges one medical school and one accredited independent law school

Public institutions serve about 91 percent of the approximately 14 million students enrolled in higher education in Texas

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) was established in 1965 and is composed of nine members appointed by the Governor for staggered six-year terms THECB provides leadership and coordination for the Texas higher education system to promote excellence in higher education

THECBrsquos responsibilities include assessing Texasrsquo system of higher education and developing recommendations for

FIGURE 1 HISTORICAL SPENDING FOR HIGHER EDUCATION 2002ndash03 TO 2012ndash13 BIENNIA

improvements to the Governor the Legislature and institutions THECB reviews and recommends changes in formulas regarding the allocation of state funds to public institutions to limit duplication of academic programs and unnecessary construction projects THECB also promotes access to high quality programs at diff erent institutional levels and oversees the statersquos student financial aid programs

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 appropriated $221 billion in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) for the 2012ndash13 biennium to support Texas higher education a 25 percent decrease from the 2010ndash11 biennium (Figure 1) Figure 2 illustrates the sources of revenue also referred to as methods of finance for the $221 billion in state appropriations Generally only small portions of the Federal Funds received by institutions of higher education are reflected in the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

State funds are allocated to public institutions and agencies of higher education in a number of ways

bull direct appropriations through funding formulas and other direct appropriations based on identifi ed needs

bull indirect appropriations not made directly to an institution in its portion of the appropriations bill but used to cover costs related to the institutionrsquos staff

The $221 billion appropriation includes funds trusteed to THECB for distribution to institutions For the 2012ndash13 biennium THECB received more than $10013 million in trusteed funds The majority of these funds are allocated for student financial assistance Those remaining provide funding for the Baylor College of Medicine incentives for the general academic institutions and the Texas Research Incentive Program

Figure 3 shows the percentage of state funding appropriated to the various types of institutions excluding the allocation for employee insurance and retirement benefi ts

groups of institutions such as general academic institutions and community colleges differ in how the Legislature allocates state appropriations For example all general academic institutions receive funding generated from Instruction and Operations and Infrastructure formulas while community colleges have one formula for Instruction and Administration

While the General Revenue Fundrsquos portion of direct appropriations to institutions is ldquosum certainrdquo the appropriation of Patient Income and Other Educational and General Income (primarily tuition) is ldquoestimatedrdquo Th is means that if patient income or tuition revenue generated by an institution is greater than the amount included in the GAA the institution can spend at a level beyond the amounts in the GAA If an institution generates less tuition revenue it must spend less

The GAA establishes a key distinction for higher education entities differentiating them from other state agencies Statute (Texas Education Code Section 61059(k)) calls for each higher education institution to receive a lump sum appropriation for base funding The GAA expands this concept and provides each higher education institution with one lump sum appropriation For each institution the GAA provides an ldquoInformational Listing of Appropriated Fundsrdquo below each institutionrsquos lump sum appropriation Th is information reflects how the state funds are ldquoallocatedrdquo not how they must be spent Higher education institutions are not bound to spend their appropriation within the specifi ed

strategy as are regular state agencies An exception to this is debt service on tuition revenue bonds Section 6 Rider 9 in the Higher Education Special Provisions GAA page III-233 limits the use of debt service to pay debt service for tuition revenue bonds Any amount of an appropriation not spent must be returned to the General Revenue Fund at the end of the fi scal year

There are some limitations on how institutions can spend appropriated funds The Texas Constitution (Article VII Section 18(i) and 17 (j)) prohibits with limited exceptions the use of General Revenue Funds for construction projects However the Texas Legislature by two-thirds vote in each house may opt to use General Revenue Funds for construction projects if there is a natural disaster or demonstrated need for the project

Also GAA (Section 6 Rider 8b) Special Provisions Relating Only to State Agencies of Higher Education (page III-233) prohibits the use of appropriated funds for auxiliary purposes such as athletics and parking Section 54 of the Special Provisions (page III-246) also restricts the use of funds in the Research Development Strategy to purposes defi ned in Texas Education Code Section 62091 Communityjunior colleges can spend General Revenue Funds only for instruction and administrative costs (Texas Education Code Section 130003(c))

This report presents the different ways that public institutions and agencies allocate state appropriations and highlights the flexibility with which these appropriations may be expended References to appropriated funds are based on the Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 2012ndash13 biennium GAA as adjusted for certain appropriations made in Article IX (General Provisions) of the GAA contingency appropriations other bills making appropriations in fi scal years 2012 and 2013 and Governor vetoes Amounts for fiscal year 2011 have been adjusted for the Supplemental Appropriations Bill House Bill 4 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 and Senate Bill 2 First Called Session 2011 Each category of institutionmdashgeneral academic health-related community and technical colleges and Texas AampM System agenciesmdashis presented separately Th e only THECB funds detailed in this report are funds that have been distributed to public institutions

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

OVERVIEW General academic institutions are listed in the Texas Education Code (61003) Figure 4 lists the institutions and their enrollments All of the institutions have common goals of instruction research and public service however each has a unique set of academic offerings and a unique regional or statewide mission

General academic institutions receive direct appropriations via funding formulas and non-formula appropriations Direct appropriations are identified in the informational strategies of each institutionrsquos bill pattern in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) As mentioned earlier appropriations are made to institutions as a lump sum Th e informational strategies reflect how state funds are ldquoallocatedrdquo not how they must be spent This means that with a few exceptions higher education entities unlike other state agencies are not required to spend appropriations within a specified funding strategy

The appropriation levels in each strategy refl ect diff erent revenue sources such as General Revenue Funds General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (mostly tuition and fee revenue) and Other Funds These revenue sources are referred to as the ldquomethod of fi nancerdquo Figure 5 illustrates the method of finance for $74 billion in appropriations for general academic institutions including a number of the indirect appropriations referenced in the next paragraph but does not include appropriations for employee retirement benefi ts

There are also appropriations that benefit institutions that are not reflected in the bill pattern of individual institutions including the Higher Education Fund the Available National Research University Fund Available University Fund certain employee benefits and funds trusteed to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB)

Figure 6 presents the percentage of funding related to each of these direct and indirect appropriations All of these appropriations are further described in the following pages

In addition general academic institutions have access to funds not reflected in the state appropriations process Examples of this include indirect cost recovery certain tuition and fees such as ldquodesignated tuitionrdquo and ldquoincidental feesrdquo (both are described in Appendix B) auxiliary operations (ie revenue from athletics student services fees bookstore and parking) and grants and gifts

FORMULA FUNDING Nearly 573 percent of state appropriations for general academic institutions are allocated via two funding formulas and two supplements Instruction and Operations Formula Teaching Experience Supplement Infrastructure Formula

and Small Institution Supplement The formulas and supplements are direct appropriations and are primarily based on enrollment

The formula appropriations consist of General Revenue Funds and some Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG) Other EampG includes specific tuition and fee revenue (see Appendix B for a listing of tuition and fee provisions) The inclusion of certain tuition and fee revenue in the formula funding calculation is referred to as an ldquoAll Funds methodologyrdquo to formula funding Th e most significant tuition revenue included in the formula calculation is tuition charged in accordance with Texas Education Code Section 54051 Interim Tuition Rates (referred to as statutory tuition) The statutory tuition rate for the 2012ndash13 academic year is $50 per semester credit hour for Texas residents Th e corresponding tuition rate for a nonresident student is the average nonresident tuition charged to a Texas resident at a public university in each of the five most populous states

Of the $40 billion allocated by the general academic formulas and supplements nearly 728 percent consists of General Revenue Funds with the remainder consisting of General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (Other EampG)

A portion of Other EampG income is set aside for specifi c purposes or allocated to non-formula based strategies in the

institutionrsquos bill pattern For example institutions set aside a portion of their tuition to provide Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) TPEG are grants designed to help students cover their tuition fees and textbook costs when these expenses exceed a certain portion of their familiesrsquo contributions to their educations This set-aside revenue is not part of the tuition and fee revenue used to calculate the funding formulas

INSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS FORMULA

About 815 percent of formula funds flow through the Instruction and Operations Formula ($32716 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) and Teaching Experience Supplement ($957 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) Th e Instruction and Operations formula is calculated as follows

Semester Credit Hours X ProgramLevel Weight X Rate (5371)

Semester credit hours (SCH) are a measurement of how many classes (and the number of students enrolled in those classes) an institution delivers The formula calculation for a biennium uses a ldquobase periodrdquo of SCH The ldquobase periodrdquo used for the 2012ndash13 biennium was the combination of summer 2010 fall 2010 and spring 2011

SCH is weighted by discipline (eg nursing is weighted more than liberal arts) and by level (ie lower and upper division masters doctoral and professional) For instance a lower division liberal arts course receives a weight of 10 A doctoral level liberal arts course receives a weight of 923 A nursing lower division course receives a weight of 203 A doctoral nursing course receives a weight of 925 Beginning with the 2006ndash07 GAA the basis for the weights per discipline was shifted to an aggregation of actual costs based on institutions Annual Financial Reports Currently THECB uses a rolling three year average to adjust the weights each biennium

THECB recommends a rate based on its recommended weights and program enhancements The legislature sets the weights and the rate in the Higher Education Special Provisions of the GAA (page III-238) In practice the legislature has set the rate based on available funding including consideration of enrollment changes and other factors Figure 7 illustrates the Instruction and Operations Formula allocation to institutions

TEACHING EXPERIENCE SUPPLEMENT

For the 2012ndash13 biennium an additional weight of ten percent is added to lower-division and upper-division semester credit hours taught by tenured and tenure-track faculty The 2012ndash13 GAA includes the following language ldquoFurthermore it is the intent of the Legislature that the weight shall increase by 10 percent per biennium up to 50 percentrdquo (Special Provisions Relating Only to State Agencies of Higher Education Sec 28 page III-238 2012ndash13 GAA)

The Teaching Experience Supplement is calculated as follows

Semester Credit Hours X ProgramLevel Weight Supplement (10) X Rate (5371)

The Teaching Experience Supplement was 5 percent during the 1998ndash99 and 2000ndash01 biennia Th e Seventy-seventh Legislature 2001 increased the supplement to the current 10 percent in 2002ndash03 biennium

INFRASTRUCTURE FORMULA

Almost 16 percent of formula funds flow through the Infrastructure Formula and Small Institution Supplement ($6768 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) In addition to

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 7

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

the universities the State Colleges and components of Texas State Technical College also receive infrastructure formula appropriations This formula uses a statewide infrastructure rate which is set in the GAA The statewide infrastructure rate is divided into two rates an Adjusted Utility Rate and an All Other Rate As with the SCH rate the legislature has set the rate based on available funding including consideration of changes in institutional space and other factors

The Infrastructure Formula is calculated as follows

(Adjusted Utility Rate + All Other Rates) X Predicted Square Feet

The Adjusted Utility Rate is 52 percent of the statewide infrastructure rate The 52 percent reflects the percentage of infrastructure formula funds that institutions historically spent on utilities A statewide utility rate is determined and then adjusted for each institution to reflect utility costs relative to other institutions

The All Other Rate is 48 percent of the statewide infrastructure rate and remains constant among institutions It accounts for physical plant grounds maintenance and custodial services

THECBrsquos Space Projection Model for Higher Education Institutions in Texas (space model) estimates square footage for each institution The objective of the space model projection is to calculate the amount of space an institution needs based on the following

bull number program and level of semester credit hours

bull number of faculty non-faculty students programs and library holdings and

bull research and current EampG expenditures

Figure 8 illustrates the Infrastructure Formula allocation to institutions The similarity of the allocation to the Instruction and Operations Formula allocation demonstrates the influence of enrollment on both formula allocations

SMALL INSTITUTION SUPPLEMENT

Prior to the Eighty-fi rst Legislature (2009) general academic institutions with enrollments of less than 5000 received a $750000 annual Small Institution Supplement However the Eighty-first Legislature increased the enrollment threshold to 10000 students and implemented a phase-out

NON-FORMULA FUNDING

SPECIAL ITEMS

Special Item appropriations to the institutions total $4836 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium In 2012ndash13 $69 million was appropriated to system offices for special items These are direct appropriations to institutions for projects that are not funded by formula but are specifi cally identifi ed by the legislature as needing support An institution is not required to spend the amount identified in a Special Item strategy for that particular project but expenditure reports indicate that institutions often use an entire appropriation along with additional funding for the related project

The majority of special item funding is through the Institutional Enhancement strategy Institutional Enhancement is a $2204 million appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium This is a direct appropriation to institutions and was established by the Seventy-sixth Legislature 1999 for the 2000ndash01 biennium Th e fi rst Institutional Enhancement appropriation was based on a consolidation of certain Special Item appropriations in 1999 and an additional $1 million per year was appropriated for each institution Examples of consolidated special items are items that could be funded through the formulas such as general institutional academic and research support

For the 2002ndash03 biennium there was an additional $1 million increase in appropriations for most institutions and a $15 million increase for selected institutions in South Texas and the border region Institutions that benefi ted signifi cantly from the Seventy-seventh Legislaturersquos new University Research and Texas Excellence Funds (House Bill 1839 Seventy-seventh Legislature 2001) or from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) ldquoexcellence fundingrdquo did not receive an increase in Institutional Enhancement funds for the 2002ndash03 biennium

Other Special Items total $2632 million in appropriations for the 2012ndash13 biennium and include the following institutional and instructional support public service items research items other than general research support funding for separate campuses and accreditation program items

TEXAS COMPETITIVE KNOWLEDGE FUND

The Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund (TCKF) is authorized by the General Appropriations Act (GAA) (2012ndash13 Biennium) Article III Higher Education Special Provisions Section 56 The GAA prescribes that this funding will be used to support faculty for the purpose of instructional excellence and research Funding was first allocated in these strategies by the Legislature for the 2008ndash09 biennium

Current institutions receiving TCKF appropriations include The University of Texas at Austin Texas AampM University University of Houston Texas Tech University and Th e University of Texas at Dallas Institutions are allocated funding appropriated to the TCKF based on average research expenditures for the previous three-year period Th e Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 appropriated $935 million in Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund strategies directly to the institutions This funding level provides approximately $07 million to each institution for every $100 million in research expenditures In practice

RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT FUND

The Research Development Fund was created by House Bill 3526 Seventy-eighth Legislature Regular Session 2003 and replaced the Texas Excellence and University Research Funds effective September 1 2005 The intent was to combine the Texas Excellence Fund and University Research Fund into a new fund applying a uniform allocation methodology based on a three-year average of each institutionrsquos restricted research expenditures Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature allocated $653 million (Figure 10) in the 2012ndash13 biennium to individual institutions to fund objectives identical to the Research Development Fund (Section 62091)

TEXAS RESEARCH INCENTIVE PROGRAM

Th e Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009 established the Texas Research Incentive Program (TRIP) at THECB to match state appropriations with certain gifts and endowments received by emerging research universities Th e goal of this $178 million a year program is to create more Tier One universities in Texas

PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE INITIATIVE

The Eightieth Legislature 2007 appropriated $100 million in fiscal year 2009 to THECB to establish a Higher Education Performance Incentive Initiative The funding was for ldquoimprovement in teaching and educational excellence at Texas public general academic institutionsrdquo THECB distributed $80 million for increases in degrees awarded with special weights given to critical fields and at-risk students The remaining $20 million was used to fund scholarships for students graduating in the top 10 percent of their high school class

Th e Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009 maintained the $80 million for the higher education performance incentive initiative (funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) and increased funding for the Top Ten Percent scholarship program by $34 million bringing total appropriations for the program to $54 million

There were no performance funding incentives for the 2012ndash13 biennium For the 2012ndash13 biennium $396

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 provided $444 million in General Revenue Funds hold harmless funding for aff ected institutions to minimize the effect of reduced formula and special item funding Decreases in formula funding could be caused by declining enrollment a shift from upper level or graduate semester credit hours to lower level hours a much smaller increase in enrollment that other institutions or a change in utility costs

CAPITAL FUNDS

In addition to the constitutional funds discussed in the next subsection there are three types of state appropriation for capital funds tuition revenue bonds Skiles Act revenue bonds and lease payments Almost all of the direct appropriations to institutions related to capital funds are for debt service on tuition revenue bonds

A $5931 million General Revenue Funds appropriation was made for tuition revenue bond debt service for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Tuition revenue bonds must be authorized in statute Once an authorization is made institutions issue bonds and make related debt payments with tuition revenue Th e Texas Public Finance Authority issues tuition revenue bonds for Midwestern State University Stephen F Austin University Texas Southern University and the Texas State Technical Colleges Legislative practice has been to use General Revenue Funds to reimburse institutions for the costs related to this debt service

The legislature first authorized tuition revenue bonds in 1971 In some instances the authorization was a lump sum for the benefit of specific institutions During the Seventy-eighth Legislature 2003 $2689 million in tuition revenue bonds was authorized for specific projects at various higher education institutions The Seventy-ninth Legislature Th ird Called Session 2005 adopted House Bill 153 which authorized the issuance of $1858 billion in tuition revenue bonds for forty-four different institutions Only one tuition revenue bond (House Bill 1775) was adopted by the Eightieth Legislature 2007 for a $13 million nursing building at Stephen F Austin University Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature 2009 authorized one tuition revenue bond for Texas AampM University at Galveston The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not authorize any new tuition revenue bonds

The authority for Skiles Act Revenue Bonds was repealed in 1997 It had allowed institutions to pledge up to $5 from each enrolled student for each regular semester to the payment of bonds authorized under the governing boardrsquos general authority to sell revenue bonds Institutions use their Other Educational and General Income (General Revenuendash Dedicated Funds) to pay the debt service on these previously authorized bonds This is a $10 million appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Three general academic institutions receive a $3 million General Revenue Fund appropriation for lease payments to community colleges for facilities

CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

These funds are appropriated separately in the GAA and not directly appropriated to the institutions (see Appendix D)

The Available University Fund (AUF) established in Section 18 Article VII Texas Constitution consists of the surface income and investment proceeds from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) a state endowment with land grants totaling 21 million acres

Distributions to the AUF consist of investment returns from PUF assets surface income from PUF lands and interest earned on AUF balances For the 2012ndash13 biennium investment returns were $12200 million surface income was $398 million and interest income was $59 million Income from the sale of PUF lands and the lease of mineral interest is retained in the PUF and invested

The total 2012ndash13 estimated appropriation for the AUF is $12660 million The Constitution appropriates two-thirds of the AUF to The University of Texas System and one-third to the Texas AampM University System The two systems may use the AUF for capital purposes (debt service on PUF bonds) for most of their institutions and ldquofor the support and maintenancerdquo of other institutions listed Entities authorized to receive funding for ldquosupport and maintenancerdquo which is now commonly referred to as ldquoAUF Excellence Fundingrdquo are the two system offi ces The University of Texas at Austin Texas AampM University and Prairie View AampM University The systemsrsquo boards of regents determine allocations to individual institutions including health-related institutions and the amounts for ldquoExcellencerdquo Figure 11 lists the recipients and the type of support they received

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

The HEF is supported by General Revenue Fund appropriations

The distribution of the $525 million HEF appropriation for 2012ndash13 is provided for in statute (Texas Education Code Section 62021) The Constitution calls for a re-allocation of HEF funds every ten years The Seventy-ninth Legislature Regular Session fulfilled this requirement with the enactment of House Bill 3001

The Constitution also allows the legislature to adjust the decennial allocations every five years Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature Regular Session 2011 exercised this authority by enacting House Bill 51 which adjusted the formula allocation for the HEF funds for fiscal years 2009 through 2015

To maintain the equitable distribution of the HEF appropriation House Bill 51 also corrected the distribution of fiscal year 2009 and 2010 HEF allocations by using revised formula calculations Using these revised formula calculations House Bill 51 factored in updated data elements to generate the annual HEF allocations for the fi ve-year period starting in fiscal year 2011

HEF funds must be used for capital purposes Institutions may use HEF allocations for debt service on HEF bonds or as cash

In 1995 the Texas Constitution was amended to authorize the creation and funding of a dedicated HEF corpus known as the Permanent Higher Education Fund (PHEF) Th is corpus was separate from the annual HEF allocation of General Revenue Funds The PHEF was intended to become a permanent endowment to support non-PUF eligible institutions but never reached its targeted value of $2 billion

The PHEF corpus of $5159 million was rededicated with the enactment of Proposition 4 which amended Article 7 of the Texas Constitution by establishing the National Research University Fund (NRUF) The balance of the PHEF was transferred to the NRUF on January 1 2010 and the authorization for the PHEF expired Proposition 4 also allowed the legislature to appropriate some or all of the total returns from the NRUF to provide a source of funding to enable emerging research universities to achieve national prominence

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 appropriated $124 million in estimated NRUF proceeds to eligible institutions in the 2012ndash13 biennium

House Bill 1000 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 established the specific eligibility and distribution criteria for the 2012ndash13 NRUF appropriations To be eligible to receive NRUF appropriations an institution must meet two mandatory criteria and four out of six optional criteria The mandatory criteria are that the institution in designated as an emerging research university within the Higher Education Coordinating Boardrsquos Accountability System and that the institution reported at least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the preceding two fi scal years Optional criteria include the following possession of an endowment fund values in excess of $400 million awarding over 200 Doctor of Philosophy degrees per year having an entering freshman class of high academic achievement recognition of the institutions research capability and scholarly attainment possession of a high-quality faculty and possession of high-quality graduate education programs Texas Tech University and the University of Houston are the only two institutions that received funding through this program in 2012

HIGHER EDUCATION GROUP INSURANCE (HEGI)

The $4631 million General Revenue Fund appropriation for higher education group insurance (HEGI) is not a direct appropriation in the institutionsrsquo bill patterns It is appropriated in a separate section of the GAA entitled ldquoHigher Education Employees Group Insurance Contributionsrdquo This appropriation is intended to help institutions cover the cost of health insurance premiums for institution employees whose salaries are paid from the General Revenue Fund Because The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own health insurance programs they each receive separate appropriations The remaining institutions are included in the program operated by the Employees Retirement System (ERS)

The HEGI appropriation is sum-certain That is the Statersquos General Revenue Fund contributions are limited to each institutionrsquos number of employees enrolled in the health insurance program as of December 1 2012 However the GAA allows ERS The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems to transfer HEGI appropriations among institutions within their respective group insurance programs to address shortfalls in General Revenue Funds related to group insurance premiums

SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS

An appropriation for social security is included in the GAA at the end of Article III It is an estimated General Revenue

WORKERSrsquo COMPENSATION

Changes in the structure of the statewide workersrsquo compensation system resulted in most institutions receiving General Revenue Fund appropriations for Workersrsquo Compensation starting in 2006ndash07 However Th e University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own workersrsquo compensation pools while all other institutions are part of the State Office of Risk Managementrsquos workersrsquo compensation pool

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

Most components of The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems have this strategy because they operate their own risk pools Th ese institutions receive General Revenue Fund appropriations for unemployment compensation insurance The appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium is $05 million in General Revenue Funds Th e Texas Workforce Commission receives an appropriation to

cover unemployment benefi ts for former state employees for all other higher education institutions

TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANTS

According to statute (Texas Education Code Chapter 56 Subchapter C and Texas Education Code Section 54051 [Statutory Tuition]) institutions must set aside a portion of tuition revenue for Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) Fifteen percent of each resident studentrsquos tuition and 3 percent of each nonresident studentrsquos tuition are set aside for financial aid to students at the institution Texas Education Code Section 56033 provides guidelines on the allocation of TPEG revenue The GAA includes an estimate of the amount of TPEG revenue each institution will generate Th is $2111 million estimated appropriation is considered Other Educational and General Income which are classifi ed as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY

Indirect costs as defined by The Comptroller of Public Accounts are ldquoincurred for a common or joint purpose benefiting more than one cost objectiverdquo Institutions negotiate a percentage of a federal grant for indirect costs There are a number of factors included in the calculation including building and equipment use allowance operations and maintenance general departmental and sponsored projects administration and library costs

The Seventy-eighth Legislature 2003 allowed universities to retain 100 percent of indirect costs income from research grants and contracts to encourage further research projects conducted by universities

Like other higher education institutions the appropriations for health-related institutions are a lump sum and funding strategies are presented for informational purposes in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) The funding strategies in a health-related institutionrsquos bill pattern represent how state funds are allocated but not how they must be spent Also certain methods of finance in the appropriation are estimated This means that if for example patient income for an institution is above the amount included in the GAA

the institution can spend more than the amount listed in the GAA

Also health-related institutions have access to an estimated $109 billion outside the appropriations process in 2012ndash13 Examples of this include certain tuition revenue indirect lost recovery grants and gifts

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

General Revenue funding and some Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated) fund the formulas Like general academic institutions certain tuition revenue is used in the calculation of the Instruction and Operation support and Infrastructure support formulas Of the $15 billion that is allocated by the health-related institutionsrsquo primary formulas 939 percent is from the General Revenue Fund and the remaining 61 percent is from General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (tuition and fee revenue)

Some tuition and fee income is set aside for specifi c purposes Some specific amounts are unavailable for formula purposes and consequently are not a formula method of fi nance For example health-related institutions set aside a portion of their tuition to provide Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) and Medical Loans

INSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS SUPPORT FORMULA

The Instruction and Operations (IampO) support formula represents nearly 755 percent of the primary formula funds for health-related institutions ($9282 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) It is intended to fund items such as faculty salaries departmental operating expenses instructional administration and libraries It is allocated on a per full-time student equivalent (FTSE) basis with a funding weight predicated on the instructional program of the student This formula applies to all health-related

institutions except The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler which did not offer education instruction during the base period for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Figure 15 illustrates the Instruction and Operations support formula among the eight health-related institutions

The Instruction and Operations support formula is calculated as follows

(FTSE X Program Weight X $8874) + SmallMultiple Campus Supplement

FTSE is weighted by discipline For example medicine (4753) is weighted more than pharmacy (1670) Allied Health is assigned a weight of 1000

The Legislature sets the weights and the rate ($8874 adjusted for the 2012ndash13 biennium) in the Higher Education Special Provisions of the GAA (Sec 29 page III-239 and 240) The rate is calculated based on the available revenue for the formula and the number of FTSEs

Programs with enrollments less than 200 receive a Small Campus Supplement (see Figure 16)

INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT FORMULA

The Infrastructure support formula is 194 percent of the primary formula funding and is intended for utilities and physical plant support ($2383 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) This formula calculation is similar to that for general academic institutions but includes only one rate ($655) for all institutions except The University of Texas

THECBrsquos space model predicts square footage for each institution The space model projection is based on the following

bull number and level of FTE students

bull number of faculty

bull single or multiple programs and campuses

bull actual clinical space and

bull research and current EampG expenditures

Because the space projection model does not account for hospital space separate infrastructure funding for hospital space is included in the total funding for hospital and patient-care activities at The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

RESEARCH FORMULA

Health-related institutions generate state appropriations to support research through General Revenue Funds in the Research Enhancement formula ($629 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) The Research Enhancement formula accounts for 51 percent of the primary formula funds and is funded entirely from the General Revenue Fund

The allocation is based on the amount of research generated by each institution

$1412500 + (110 X Research

Expenditures)

This provides a base Institutions report for all institutions current research

regardless of research expenditures to volume THECB

Figure 18 illustrates the Research Enhancement formula allocation to the institutions among the nine health-related institutions

GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION

The Seventy-ninth Legislature 2005 established a new formula for funding graduate medical education in the 2006ndash07 GAA For 2012ndash13 the funding totals $46 million

(an additional $109 million is appropriated to the Baylor College of Medicine through the THECB) and provides $4436 per medical resident each year

Figure 19 illustrates the Graduate Medical Education formula allocation to institutions among the nine health related institutions and Baylor College of Medicine

CHEST DISEASE CENTER FORMULA

The Chest Disease Center operations formula which was established during the 2010ndash11 biennium applies only to The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler Th e University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler has a statutory mission to conduct research develop diagnostic and treatment techniques provide training and teaching programs and provide diagnosis and treatment of inpatients and outpatients with respiratory diseases The Chest Disease Center formula is based on the number of primary chest disease patients the institution served Approximately $472 million in General Revenue Funds are appropriated for the 2012ndash13 biennium

CANCER CENTER OPERATIONS FORMULA

The Eightieth Legislature 2007 established in the GAA an Operations formula for funding The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has a statutory mission to eliminate cancer through patient care research education

and prevention The Operations formula funding is based on the total number of Texas cancer patients the institution served The Operations formula growth in funding may not exceed the average growth in funding for health-related institutions in the Instruction and Operations support formula for the current biennium For the 2012ndash13 biennium this funding formula provided $2125 million in General Revenue Funds

NON-FORMULA FUNDING

PATIENT CARE ACTIVITIES

Some institutions conduct patient care activities generally medical or dental For the 2012ndash13 biennium the estimated appropriation for Patient Income was $56 billion Th e hospital and clinic revenues earned through patient care activities are considered Other Funds which are part of Educational and General Income (not to be confused with Other Educational and General Income which is another subset of Educational and General Income) General Revenue funding supplements patient-care income to varying degrees at each institution Patient Income is an estimated appropriation and is spread across an institutionrsquos funding strategies however it is not used in the calculation of the formulas

INSTITUTIONAL ENHANCEMENT

Institutional Enhancement is a General Revenue Fund appropriation that started in the 2000ndash01 biennium It is designed to allow each institution to address its unique needs and diseconomies of scale at institutions with smaller campuses The total institutional enhancement appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium was $42 million which includes $407 million in General Revenue Funds and $16 million in Patient Income

SPECIAL ITEMS

Special items are activities that are not generally funded through the formulas and typically represent an institutionrsquos special needs or areas of expertise The $3107 million in General Revenue Funds for the 2012ndash13 biennium funds items such as residency programs academic outreach programs public service items and research items other than general research support Institutions propose and justify special items and request an amount for each on an ad hoc basis Special items generally remain constant from biennium to biennium unless the item was a one-time expense (eg tornado damage repairs) or the institution has not used the funding for the intended purpose

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

These funds are not directly appropriated to institutions in the GAA In other words these funds are not found in a strategy within an institutionrsquos bill pattern

Health-related institutions are eligible for funding from the Available University Fund ($146 million in Other Funds allocated to these institutions by system offices for the 2012ndash 13 biennium) and the Higher Education Fund ($257 million in General Revenue Funds appropriated for the 2012ndash13 biennium) which are presented in detail in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section of this report

CAPITAL FUNDS

Just like general academic institutions tuition revenue bonds ($1665 million in General Revenue Funds for related debt service in the 2012ndash13 biennium) are also used to fund capital projects at health-related institutions A detailed presentation of tuition revenue bonds is in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center also have separate appropriations for capital projects that are funded primarily with Patient Income

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Like general academic institutions health-related institutions benefit from direct and indirect state appropriations related to employee benefi ts The indirect appropriations include Higher Education Group Insurance ($2339 million in General Revenue Funds for the 2012ndash13 biennium) Retirement Contributions and Social Security Benefi ts (all presented in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section) The direct appropriations include Staff Group Insurance

For the 2012ndash13 biennium the Workersrsquo Compensation and Unemployment Compensation strategies (all presented in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section) are funded directly with General Revenue Funds and General RevenuendashDedicated Funds However The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own workersrsquo compensation pools while all other institutions are part of the State Office of Risk Managementrsquos workersrsquo compensation pool The University of Texas and Texas AampM Systems also manage their own unemployment compensation coverage while all other institutions receive coverage from

the Texas Workforce Commission which receives an appropriation to cover unemployment benefi ts

TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANTS

Health-related institutions similar to general academic institutions are subject to the Texas Education Code (sect56031 et al) provision requiring a portion of tuition revenue be set aside to fund Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) For the 2012ndash13 biennium the estimated TPEG appropriation is $188 million This revenue is considered Other Education and General Income which is classifi ed as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY

As mentioned earlier in this section Indirect Cost Recovery was removed from the GAA for the 2010ndash11 biennium however the individual institution still receives the funds

TOBACCO SETTLEMENT

House Bill 1945 Seventy-sixth Legislature 1999 established the Permanent Health Fund for health-related institutions of Higher Education the Permanent Fund for Minority Health Research and Education the Permanent Fund for Higher Education Nursing Allied Health and Other Health Related Programs and 13 permanent endowments for individual institutions of higher education The $769 million in estimated interest earnings from the endowments for 2012ndash13 (based on estimated interest earnings of 45 percent each year) were appropriated to the health-related institutions

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

OVERVIEW Public two-year lower-level institutions include 50 community and junior college districts four Texas State Technical College (TSTC) campuses and three Lamar State Colleges These institutions were appropriated $22 billion in state funding for the 2012ndash13 biennium Preliminary fall FIGURE 20 TWO-YEAR INSTITUTION FUNDING MECHANISMS 2012ndash13 BIENNIUM

2011 enrollment at these institutions totaled 789713 Figure 20 illustrates the funding mechanisms for these institutions Community colleges accounted for 983 percent of this enrollment total while the Texas State Technical and Lamar State Colleges composed the remaining portion

COMMUNITY COLLEGES

Instruction and Administration General Revenue Funds from the state are based on contact hour driven formulas for two-year institutions Tuition and fee revenues and local tax revenues augment state General Revenue Funds for these costs

Academic Courses Approximately 82 percent of the total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are academic courses

Technical Courses Approximately 18 percent of the total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are vocationaltechnical courses

Physical Plant The state provides no funding for physical plant operations and maintenance Local taxing districts are expected to provide support for physical plant needs Community colleges are projected to receive approximately $12 billion in tax income in fiscal year 2011

Facilities Local communities must provide facilities Community colleges are not eligible to receive Higher Education Fund (HEF) allocations Available University Fund allocations or state tuition revenue bonds

Employee Benefits While community college employees are locally-employed community colleges participate in the Employee Retirement System (ERS) Group Benefits Program for health benefi ts and the Teacher Retirement System(TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) for retirement benefits The state makes General Revenue Fund contributions for the health and retirement benefits

Tuition Fee Revenues Tuition and fee revenues are considered institutional funds and are not appropriated by the state Tuition rates vary by institution In 2012 the statewide tuition rates plus fees averaged $73 per semester credit hour but varied from $34 to $208 per semester credit hour

Local Tax Revenue Community Colleges are projected to receive approximately $12 billion in tax income in fiscal year 2011 Local tax revenues are expected to provide support for physical plant needs and augment state General Revenue Funds for instruction and administration costs

TSTCLAMAR COLLEGES

Instruction and Administration General Revenue Funds from the state are based on formulas for two-year institutions Tuition and fee revenues augment General Revenue Funds for these costs

Academic Courses Approximately 39 percent at the Lamar colleges and 28 percent at Texas State Technical College (TSTC) of total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are academic courses

Technical Courses Approximately 61 percent at the Lamar colleges and 72 percent at TSTC of total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are vocationaltechnical courses

Physical Plant State funding based on the formula for general academic institutions The Lamar colleges will receive approximately $71 million and TSTC will receive $157 million in General Revenue Funds for physical plant and utilities in the 2012ndash13 biennium

Facilities The Lamar colleges receive approximately $42 million annually from HEF funds and TSTC receives almost $58 million annually The HEF monies are used to acquire land construct and equip buildings provide major building repair or rehabilitation and acquire capital equipment and library materials

Employee Benefits Both the Lamar colleges and TSTC institutions participate in ERSrsquo Group Benefits Program for health benefits and the TRS and ORP programs for retirement benefits The state makes General Revenue Fund contributions for the health and retirement benefits of those employees having their salaries paid with General Revenue Funds

Tuition Fee Revenues Certain tuition revenue is appropriated by the state In 2012 for resident students average tuition plus fees was $139 per semester credit hour at the Lamar colleges and $150 per semester credit hour at TSTC

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 21

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

These institutions are primarily funded based on student contact hours A contact hour is a standard unit of measure that represents an hour of scheduled academic and technical instruction given to students during a semester Community and junior college districts generate almost 958 percent of the state-funded contact hours at two-year institutions TSTC components generate approximately 29 percent of the contact hours and the three Lamar State Colleges account for the 13 percent

COMMUNITY COLLEGES Over 99 percent of the direct appropriations to community colleges are from the General Revenue Fund and are generated through a funding formula The remaining direct appropriations are for isolated ldquospecial itemsrdquo including appropriations for the Southwest Collegiate Institute for the Deaf which is part of the appropriation for Howard College The Texas Education Code Section 130003(a) calls for state appropriations to public community colleges to ldquosupplement local funds for the proper support maintenance operation and improvement of those public junior colleges of Texas that meet the standards prescribed by the chapterrdquo Further Education Code Section 130003(c) indicates that state funds must be used ldquoexclusively for the purpose of paying salaries of instructional and administrative forceshellip and the purchase of supplies and materials for instructional purposesrdquo

Consistent with statute community colleges have their own Instruction and Administration Formula which is funded by General Revenue Funds and based on ldquostudent contact hoursrdquo Unlike general academic institution formulas this formula does not include tuition and fee revenue as part of the method of fi nance

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 also provided $45 million to certain districts through a new small institution supplemental formula A district is eligible for the supplement if it makes a significantly above-average effort to generate tax income while at the same time experiencing below-average tax revenue and does not have a number of contact hours that exceeds the statewide median Th e Eighty-second Legislature appropriated each eligible district $05 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium

No state funding is provided for physical plant operations and maintenance or for facilities that is supported by local tax eff ort

Three community colleges receive weighted semester credit hour formula funding for a Bachelor of Applied Technology degree program

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

Th e Eighty-first Legislature 2009 provided $153 million in General Revenue formula hold harmless funding for aff ected community colleges to minimize the effect of reduced formula funding as a result of overall contact hour declines The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not provide any hold harmless funding in the 2012ndash13 biennium

Property taxes tuition and fees are other major sources of revenue for community colleges Figure 21 illustrates the estimated sources of funding for community colleges Th e state appropriations in Figure 21 include all formula special item Higher Education Group Insurance appropriations and retirement benefi t appropriations

FORMULA FUNDING

The basis of the formula starts with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) Report of Fundable Operating Expenses (RFOE) (formally called the All Funds Expenditure Report) The study includes all expenditures for instruction and administration (facilities costs are not included) in 26 program areas THECB uses the expenditure data to determine the median cost in the 26 program areasmdashthe ldquoratesrdquo for contact hours in those disciplines THECB then makes a recommendation for

LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 22

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

funding based on the rates Over the years THECB has used various methodologies as the basis for its funding recommendations Because the RFOE takes into account all funds (state appropriations plus tuition and tax revenue which are not appropriated) THECBrsquos recommendation for state funding has generally not equaled 100 percent of the rates

The amount of the appropriation is a legislative decision based on funds available The appropriation is allocated to the colleges according to each districtrsquos pro-rata share of THECB recommendations

HIGHER EDUCATION GROUP INSURANCE (HEGI)

Like state institutions of higher education community colleges receive General Revenue Fund contributions for group insurance However since community college employees are local not state employees state contributions for health benefits are fully discretionary Other agencies and institutions of higher education report employee eligibility for General Revenue-funded group health insurance benefi ts only if the employeersquos salary is directly paid with General Revenue Funds However in the past community colleges tended to base eligibility for General Revenue-funded benefits if the employeersquos job function fell under an approved ldquoelement of costrdquo This practice caused community colleges to report eligibility for state funded health benefits in a manner that did not always match the source of the employeersquos salary

This practice led to the Governorrsquos veto of the Group Health Insurance appropriation for fiscal year 2009 ($154 million) at the end of the Eightieth Legislative session However an agreement to restore the vetoed funds was reached and returned directly to the districts in House Bill 4586 Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009

The Eight-Second Legislature 2011 allowed community colleges to receive General Revenue Fund contributions for employees whose job function fell under an approved ldquoelement of costrdquo However the Legislature only funded 42 percent of the premium costs for these employees

OTHER STAFF BENEFITS

Appropriations for retirement contributions are included under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) bill patterns Some higher education employees primarily faculty and certain administrators are eligible for ORP a defi ned contribution plan similar to a 401k Other higher education employees

participate in TRS a defi ned benefit plan In both instances the state funds retirement contributions equal 60 and 64 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal year 2012 and fi scal year 2013 respectively (These appropriation amounts are not included in Figure 2 on page 3)

DRAMATIC ENROLLMENT GROWTH

Since the 1996ndash97 biennium public community colleges have received ldquoDramatic Enrollment Growth Fundingrdquo For the 2000ndash01 biennium this was expanded to include Texas State Technical Colleges and Lamar State Colleges (Lamars) The appropriation was made to THECB Rider 13 page IIIshy53 General Appropriations Act (2010ndash11 Biennium) provided guidelines for distributing this funding

For the 2010ndash11 biennium THECB is authorized to allocate up to $175 million per year to schools experiencing a growth rate of five percent or greater in 2010 and eight percent or greater in 2011 The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not provide any dramatic enrollment growth funding in the 2012-13 biennium

OTHER TRUSTEED FUNDS

Students at community colleges also benefi t from Texas Educational Opportunity Grants the student fi nancial aid program appropriation that is allocated by THECB

TEXAS STATE TECHNICAL COLLEGE LAMAR STATE COLLEGES The Texas State Technical Colleges (TSTC) and Lamar State Colleges are allocated a majority of their appropriation via two formulas the Instruction and Administration Formula for two-year institutions and the Infrastructure Formula for general academic institutions Similar to general academic institutions the tuition revenue for these colleges is included in the appropriations bill

Contact hours for vocationaltechnical courses represent approximately 61 percent of total contact hours at the Lamar State Colleges and 72 percent at TSTC institutions Th e remaining contact hours are generated from academic and continuing education courses

Facilities funding is available from the Higher Education Fund for both TSTC and the Lamars State Colleges and both have received Tuition Revenue Bond authorizations

STATUTORY AUTHORITY MISSIONFUNCTIONS

For the 2012ndash13 biennium the total direct appropriations for Texas AampM System (System) agencies are $8897 million In addition to state appropriations the System agencies receive some Federal Funds that are not included in the General Appropriations Act and have access to private funds While System agencies have significant portions of their Other Funds and Federal Funds appropriated the appropriations are estimated and actual income from these funding sources is subject to signifi cant variation

FUNDING TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES

FIGURE 23 TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES COMPARED TO INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION

SIMILARITIES

FUNDING

Both Texas AampM System (System) agencies and institutions of higher education have considerable flexibility in their budgeting and financial operations (ldquolump sumrdquo appropriations)

Both are eligible to receive proceeds from the Permanent University Fund

Both are considered to be institutions of higher education for purposes of employee group health insurance

Both System agencies and institutions of higher education generate and keep 100 percent of indirect cost recovery from research and other grants

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

OPERATIONS

Like other institutions of higher education System agencies are not required to submit operating budgets or strategic plans

Both are statutorily embedded within the Texas AampM Systemrsquos institutional framework

SOURCE Legislative Budget Board

DIFFERENCES

General academic health-related and two-year institutions receive formula funding while System agencies do not

Texas AampM System agencies do not generate revenue in the same manner or amount of other higher education institutions

Performance measures for the System agencies are agency-specific while performance measures for other higher education institutions are standardized

In several ways state funding for System agencies is similar to funding for higher education institutions System agencies have considerable flexibility in their budgeting and fi nancial operations because they receive lump-sum appropriations in the same manner as other institutions of higher education They are eligible to receive funds from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) (They were allocated $153 million from the PUF for debt service in the 2012ndash13 biennium) System agencies are also funded in the same manner as other institutions of higher education with regard to staff benefi ts including employee group health insurance contributions

However there are several funding diff erences between System agencies and other higher education institutions Most significantly System agencies do not receive formula-based funding Also while some System agencies may charge fees for their services they do not generate tuition and fees in the same manner or quantity as other institutions of higher education

As is the case with all institutions the System agencies keep 100 percent of their respective indirect cost recovery income

because this income is derived from earnings on federal grants and is held outside the treasury

For the 2012ndash13 biennium funding associated with infrastructure expenses and utilities for System agencies inside Brazos County is equal to the infrastructure rate (as determined by the General Academic formulas on page 6) for Texas AampM University

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q What are the limitations on how institutions spend state appropriations

A Generally speaking institutions have great fl exibility in spending appropriated funds however some limitations do exist depending on the source of revenue Appropriated revenue includes General Revenue Funds General Revenuendash Dedicated Funds (mostly tuition and fee income) Other Funds (including Patient Income) and Federal Funds (for certain Texas AampM System Agencies) Th e Texas Constitution (Article VII Section 18(i) and 17(j)) prohibits with limited exceptions the use of General Revenue Funds for acquiring land or for construction projects An exception occurs when the legislature by two-thirds vote in each house expressly determines that there is a demonstrated need for the project

Various provisions in the 2012ndash13 General Appropriations Act (GAA) Higher Education Special Provisions restrict state appropriations These restrictions include the following

bull Section 6 (Rider 8b) which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for auxiliary enterprises

bull Section 6 (Rider 9) which limits the use of these funds to pay debt service for statutorily authorized tuition revenue bonds Any such appropriation not spent must be returned to the General Revenue Fund at the end of the year

bull Section 9 which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for intercollegiate athletics purposes and

bull Section 54 which limits the use of the Research Development Fund to those defined in Education Code Section 62091

Q Would an increase in tuition revenue replace a corresponding amount in General Revenue Funds or would the revenue remain within the institution

A The result depends on how the Legislature responds

For instance assume that the Eight-second Legislature 2011 changed the statute to require institutions to charge nonresident tuition in circumstances where they had previously waived the nonresident tuition rate For the 2012ndash13 biennium institutions would benefit fully from the

increase in tuition revenue (This assumes the formula calculation would not include a projected increase in tuition)

However institutional appropriations in the 2014ndash15 biennium now depend on that legislation passed in the Eighty-third Legislature 2013 Assuming the same number of students (semester credit hours) enroll regardless of changes in tuition policy and that the result of charging nonresident tuition generated $100 million in additional tuition revenue there are three options

1 Reduce General Revenue Funds (GR) in the formulas by $100 million In this scenario the formula rate stays the same and every dollar increase in tuition revenue results in a dollar decrease in GRmdashinstitutional funding does not increase

2 Keep GR the same and run the additional tuition revenue through the formulas Th e formula funding rate would increase and every institution would receive more funds including those institutions that generated no additional tuition revenue

3 Keep GR formula appropriations at the same level and let individual institutions keep the additional tuition revenue they generated outside the formula allocation

Q Are all tuition and fee revenues collected by institutions of higher education included in the appropriations bill

A No None of the tuition and fee revenues collected by community colleges are appropriated

For general academic institutions an estimate of the revenue from certain tuitions and fees such as statutory tuition (Education Code 54051 Tuition Rates) board authorized tuition (Education Code 54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board) Laboratory Fees (Education Code 54501) and certain other fees are appropriated in the GAA as General Revenue FundsndashDedicated Estimated Other Educational and General Income There are a number of other tuitions and fees that are not included in the GAA and therefore not referred to as state funding Such tuitions and fees include but are not limited to designated tuition (Education Code 540513 Redesignation of Building Use Fee) and Incidental Fees (Education Code 54504) Federal

Funds are also not appropriated to the general academic and health-related institutions

Q Is a decrease in enrollment the only reason an institution would be eligible for formula funding hold harmless

A No Each session the Legislature makes a determination of whether it will make an appropriation for formula hold harmless A decrease in total enrollment is one reason an institution could be eligible for the funding Because the semester credit hours (general academic institutions) full-time student equivalents (health-related institutions) used in the formulas are based on weights (discipline program and course level) a change in the type of student enrollment regardless of total enrollment could also make an institution eligible for hold harmless funding

Q What are Educational and General Funds

A ldquoOther Educational and General Incomerdquo is a subset of ldquoEducational and General Incomerdquo The following are included in the Education Code (51009(c)) defi nition for ldquoEducational and General Fundsrdquo net tuition special course fees charged under Education Code 54051(e) and (l) lab fees student teaching fees hospital and clinic fees organized activity fees and proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment

Q What does it mean to be a Tier One institution

A The Tier One reference is often derived from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teachingrsquos prior system for classifying institutions of higher education As part of the 1994 version of the Carnegie Classification there were four categories for doctorate granting institutions Research Universities I Research Universities II Doctoral Universities I and Doctoral Universities II ldquoTier Onerdquo was synonymous with Research Universities I Such institutions had to off er a full range of baccalaureate programs award 50 or more doctoral degrees each year and receive annually at least $40 million or more in federal research funds Two institutions in Texas (The University of Texas at Austin and Texas AampM University) met these criteria The 2000 version of the Carnegie Classification collapsed the categories for doctorate granting institutions from four to two Doctoral Research UniversitiesmdashExtensive and DoctoralResearch UniversitiesmdashIntensive Six public institutions in Texas (Texas AampM University Texas Tech University University of Houston University of North Texas The University of Texas at Arlington and The University of Texas at Austin) meet the criteria for DoctoralResearch Universitiesmdash

Extensive In 2005 however the classifi cation structure returned to a more restricted top tier of institutions classifi ed as ldquoResearch Universities (very high research activity)rdquo Both The University of Texas at Austin and Texas AampM University are now counted in this category but any reference to Tier One usually refers to the 1994 Carnegie Classifi cation

Q What is the space model What is the base number of square feet needed

A In 1992 the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approved the Space Projection Model for Higher Education Institutions in Texas for public universities to assess the net assignable square feet (NASF) of educational and general space an institution needs There are fi ve categories incorporated into the model teaching library research offi ce and support space Space needs for auxiliary purposes such as dormitories or athletics are not included in the model Square footage amounts are assigned based on a number of elements within each category including the number of students and their program levels and the amount of research expenditures The space model was fi rst incorporated into the funding formulas for general academic institutions in 1997

Q What are ldquoOrganized Activitiesrdquo

A General academic institutions have a funding strategy titled ldquoOrganized Activitiesrdquo These are activities or enterprises that are connected with instructional departments Th ey are intended primarily to give training to students Examples include a university farm nurserypreschool programs an optometry clinic and lifeguard training

Q What are tuition revenue bonds

A Established in 1971 under Education Code 5513 tuition revenue bonds are bonds (not to exceed 50 years) issued by institutions of higher education for the purpose of ldquoproviding funds to acquire purchase construct improve enlarge andor equip any property buildings structures activities services operations or other facilities for and on behalf of its institution or institutions or any branch of branches thereofrdquo Each institutionsystem is authorized and required to pay debt service on its bonds Although the authorization and issuance of the bonds is not contingent on an appropriation by the state for related debt service the Legislature has provided General Revenue Funds to reimburse institutions for costs related to debt service However in the 2004ndash05 GAA the legislature changed this practice and only provided General Revenue Fund reimbursements for interest

LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 28

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

on bonds issued after March 31 2003 The 2006ndash07 GAA renewed the practice of reimbursing institutions for the costs related to debt service The 2008ndash09 GAA and 2010-11 GAA continues this practice

Q What Is Proportionality

A Pursuant to Section 608 of Article IX of the 2012ndash13 GAA the legislative intent of proportionality is to ldquomaximize balances in the General Revenue Fundrdquo by harmonizing salary funding source with benefits funding source Th is effectively means the Legislature limits its General Revenue Fund contributions for benefits only to those employees having salaries paid with General Revenue Funds As such proportionality requires employee health and retirement benefits be paid in ldquoproportionrdquo to the funding source of salaries To this end institutions are obligated to submit the Accounting Policy Statement 011 Benefits Proportional by Fund (APS 011) report to the Comptroller Th is document provides a structure by which state and local contributions are ldquosettled uprdquo in light of the fiscal years fund proportionality

Q What Is the National Research University Fund

A In 1995 the Texas Constitution was amended to authorize the creation and funding of the Permanent Higher Education Fund (PHEF) The PHEF was intended eventually to become a permanent endowment to support non-Permanent University Fund eligible institutions However the PHEF corpus was rededicated with the voter passage of Proposition 4 which amended Article 7 of the Texas Constitution by establishing the National Research University Fund (NRUF) In 2009 Proposition 4 transferred the balance of the PHEF to the credit of the NRUF as of January 1 2010 and repealed the constitutional authorization for the PHEF

The NRUF is intended to provide a source of funding to enable emerging research universities in Texas to achieve national prominence as major research universities Article VII of the Texas Constitution authorizes the Legislature to appropriate some or all of the total return on all investment assets of the NRUF for the purposes of the fund except for two caveats (1) the Legislature may not increase distributions from the fund if the purchasing power of investment assets for any rolling 10-year period is not preserved and (2) the amount appropriated from the proceeds of the NRUF corpus in any fiscal year must be capped at 7 percent of the investment assetsrsquo average net fair market value Until the NRUF has been invested long enough to determine its purchasing power over a 10-year period the Legislature is

authorized to use other means of preserving the purchasing power of the fund

House Bill 1000 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 establishes the specific eligibility and distribution criteria for the 2012ndash13 NRUF appropriations To be eligible to receive NRUF appropriations an institution must meet two mandatory criteria and four out of six optional criteria The mandatory criteria are that the institution is designated as an emerging research university within the THECBrsquos Accountability System and that the institution reported at least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the preceding two fiscal years Optional criteria include the following possession of an endowment fund values in excess of $400 million awarding over 200 Doctor of Philosophy degrees per year having an entering freshman class of high academic achievement recognition of institutionrsquos research capability and scholarly attainment possession of a high-quality faculty and possession of high-quality graduate education programs

APPENDIX B TUITION AND FEE PROVISIONS

VTCA Texas Education Code Section 54003 states No institution of higher education may collect from students attending the institution any tuition fee or charge of any kind except as permitted by lawhellip

The laws governing tuition and fees at institutions of higher education are found in Education Code Section 54 including a limited number of rules that relate to tuition and fees charged by junior and community colleges Education Code Section 54 includes statutes regarding statewide tuition and fee authority rules regarding residency for tuition and fee purposes and various exemptions for tuition and fees from nonresidency status Also it includes specific fee authority for individual institutions Figure B1 provides a listing of tuition and fee authorizations in Education Code Section 54 but does not include the items presented below or the various exemption and waiver provisions (Details about each provision can be found at httpwwwcapitolstate txus) Th ere are isolated instances outside Chapter 54 whereby the boards of regents are authorized to charge for specific services provided to students

This appendix highlights some of the more prominent tuition and fee provisions and indicates whether the related revenue is or is not included in the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT Tuition and fee revenue included in the GAA as General Revenue DedicatedndashFunds is referenced as ldquoOther Education and General Incomerdquo The amounts are ldquoEstimatedrdquo so whatever amount of revenue generated is the actual amount available to the institution to spend

54051 Tuition Rates (statutory tuition) In conjunction with Section 540512 Interim Tuition Rates resident tuition for undergraduate students reached $50 per semester credit hour in the 2005ndash06 academic year (the 2006 state fi scal year) Tuition for nonresident students at general academic medical and dental institutions is based on the average of nonresident tuition rates in the five most populous states other than Texas The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board must make this computation each academic year

54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board (also known as board authorized tuition) Applies to graduate programs Subsection (d) specifies that it is not to be used in the GAA as an offset to General Revenue Funds It is distributed across formula strategies after the formula calculation

54501 Laboratory Fees The fee amount must be sufficient to cover the general costs of laboratory materials and supplies used by a student It is not to be less than $2 or more than $30 per semester and it must not exceed the actual cost of materials and supplies

NOT INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT 540513 Designated Tuition Statute defi nes designated tuition as an institutional fund which means the revenue is not considered part of ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo Th e governing board can waive designated tuition for a student (see 54261) Statute specifies that this revenue not be used in the GAA as a way to offset General Revenue

54503 Student Services Fees This is intended for activities which are separate from the regularly scheduled academic functions of the institution and directly involve or benefi t students Except for The University of Texas at Austin (see 54513) and components of the University of Houston System (see 545061) the maximum of all compulsory student services cannot exceed $250 per semester It is kept separate from educational and general funds

54504 Incidental Fees The governing board sets the fee which must reasonably reflect the actual cost of the materials or services for which the fee is collected Examples of unearned fees include late registration library fi nes microfilming fees thesis or doctoral manuscript reproduction or filing fees and bad check charges

5516 Board Responsibility The governing board is authorized to ldquofix and collect rentals rates and chargesrdquo

APPENDIX C GLOSSARY

APPROPRIATION METHODOLOGIES Direct Appropriation The actual appropriation either estimated or sum certain listed in that institutionrsquos portion of the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

Indirect Appropriation An appropriation made on behalf of an institution but not listed in that institutionrsquos portion of the GAA Examples include appropriations to the Available University Fund the Higher Education Fund and the Higher Education Coordinating Board all of which are ultimately allocated to institutions

Estimated Appropriation An estimated appropriation is a figure in the GAA that best reflects the information available about the revenue source but the amount available for an institution to spend is contingent on the amount of revenue actually generated If the actual amount of revenue is less than the estimated amount the institution is limited to the lower amount If more revenue is generated than the estimated amount the institution can spend the higher amount

Sum Certain Appropriation A sum certain appropriation in the GAA means that an institution is limited to spend no more than the level of appropriation noted in the institutionrsquos bill pattern in the GAA

Lump Sum Appropriation Texas Education Code Section 61059(k) calls for flexibility in funds appropriated to higher education institutions A lump sum appropriation is a single amount that is unrestricted which means that it can be used for any variety of strategies The GAA provides an ldquoInformational Listing of Appropriated Fundsrdquo below each institutionrsquos lump sum appropriation Higher education institutions are not required to spend their appropriation within specified strategies One exception to this is the Tuition Revenue Bond strategy which represents the appropriation related to debt service on related bonds and must be spent as appropriated or it is reverted to the treasury

METHODS OF FINANCE General Revenue (GR) The non-dedicated portion of the General Revenue Fund is the statersquos primary operating fund Most state tax revenue many state fees and various other sources of revenue are deposited as non-dedicated General Revenue Funds

General RevenuendashDedicated (GRndashD) This is the dedicated portion of General Revenue Funds For higher education institutions the bulk of General RevenuendashDedicated Fund appropriations consist of tuition and fee revenue generated by the institutions These include the tuition and fee revenue included as ldquoOther Educational and General Incomerdquo (defined below) ldquoboard authorized tuitionrdquo (Texas Education Code Section 54008)

Other Funds State funds not included in General Revenue Funds or General RevenuendashDedicated Funds For institutions of higher education these include the Available University Fund and Patient Income generated by health-related institutions

FUND TYPES Educational and General Income Th e Texas Education Code (51009(c)) definition for ldquoEducational and General Fundsrdquo includes (a) net tuition (b) special course fees charged under Education Code Section 54051(e) and (l) (c) lab fees (d) student teaching fees (e) hospital and clinic fees (f ) organized activity fees and (g) proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment

Institutional Funds Texas Education Code Section 51009(b) defines institutional funds as those that are not ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo An example of an institutional fund is ldquodesignated tuitionrdquo (Texas Education Code Section 540513) These funds are not included in the GAA

Local Funds Texas Education Code Section 51009(a) defines local funds as net tuition certain special course fees lab fees student teaching fees hospital and clinic fees organized activity fees proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment and indirect cost recovery fees Th is revenue is accounted for as ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo and is included in the GAA

Other Educational and General Income The GAA includes some tuition and fees collected by institutions of higher education (General RevenuendashDedicated Funds) Th e revenue from tuition and fees such as statutory tuition (see texas Education Code Section 54051 Tuition Rates) board authorized tuition (see Texas Education Code Section 54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board) Laboratory

Fees (Texas Education Code Section 54501) and certain other fees are considered Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG) and are appropriated in the GAA as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds Other Educational and General Income is a subset of Educational and General Income (EampG Income)

Patient Income Health-related institutions that operate hospitals or dental clinics generate patient income from services rendered It is allocated as a method of finance to the related institution across a range of strategies in the institutionrsquos bill pattern (Other Funds) For the 2010ndash11 biennium more than $48 billion in patient income was appropriated making it the largest method of fi nance for health-related institutions

OTHER ITEMS Indirect Cost Recovery Institutions negotiate a percentage of a grant with the federal government for Indirect Costs There are a number of factors included in the calculation including building and equipment use allowance operations and maintenance general departmental and sponsored projects administration and library costs

INTRODUCTION

The Texas public higher education system encompasses 38 general academic teaching institutions (including law schools) 50 community and junior college districts one technical college system with four main campuses three lower-division state colleges and nine health-related institutions which operate a total of eight state medical schools three dental schools two pharmacy schools and other allied health and nursing units In addition there are seven agencies that are components of the Texas AampM University System

Private institutions in Texas include 38 four year colleges and universities two junior colleges one medical school and one accredited independent law school

Public institutions serve about 91 percent of the approximately 14 million students enrolled in higher education in Texas

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) was established in 1965 and is composed of nine members appointed by the Governor for staggered six-year terms THECB provides leadership and coordination for the Texas higher education system to promote excellence in higher education

THECBrsquos responsibilities include assessing Texasrsquo system of higher education and developing recommendations for

FIGURE 1 HISTORICAL SPENDING FOR HIGHER EDUCATION 2002ndash03 TO 2012ndash13 BIENNIA

improvements to the Governor the Legislature and institutions THECB reviews and recommends changes in formulas regarding the allocation of state funds to public institutions to limit duplication of academic programs and unnecessary construction projects THECB also promotes access to high quality programs at diff erent institutional levels and oversees the statersquos student financial aid programs

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 appropriated $221 billion in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) for the 2012ndash13 biennium to support Texas higher education a 25 percent decrease from the 2010ndash11 biennium (Figure 1) Figure 2 illustrates the sources of revenue also referred to as methods of finance for the $221 billion in state appropriations Generally only small portions of the Federal Funds received by institutions of higher education are reflected in the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

State funds are allocated to public institutions and agencies of higher education in a number of ways

groups of institutions such as general academic institutions and community colleges differ in how the Legislature allocates state appropriations For example all general academic institutions receive funding generated from Instruction and Operations and Infrastructure formulas while community colleges have one formula for Instruction and Administration

While the General Revenue Fundrsquos portion of direct appropriations to institutions is ldquosum certainrdquo the appropriation of Patient Income and Other Educational and General Income (primarily tuition) is ldquoestimatedrdquo Th is means that if patient income or tuition revenue generated by an institution is greater than the amount included in the GAA the institution can spend at a level beyond the amounts in the GAA If an institution generates less tuition revenue it must spend less

The GAA establishes a key distinction for higher education entities differentiating them from other state agencies Statute (Texas Education Code Section 61059(k)) calls for each higher education institution to receive a lump sum appropriation for base funding The GAA expands this concept and provides each higher education institution with one lump sum appropriation For each institution the GAA provides an ldquoInformational Listing of Appropriated Fundsrdquo below each institutionrsquos lump sum appropriation Th is information reflects how the state funds are ldquoallocatedrdquo not how they must be spent Higher education institutions are not bound to spend their appropriation within the specifi ed

strategy as are regular state agencies An exception to this is debt service on tuition revenue bonds Section 6 Rider 9 in the Higher Education Special Provisions GAA page III-233 limits the use of debt service to pay debt service for tuition revenue bonds Any amount of an appropriation not spent must be returned to the General Revenue Fund at the end of the fi scal year

There are some limitations on how institutions can spend appropriated funds The Texas Constitution (Article VII Section 18(i) and 17 (j)) prohibits with limited exceptions the use of General Revenue Funds for construction projects However the Texas Legislature by two-thirds vote in each house may opt to use General Revenue Funds for construction projects if there is a natural disaster or demonstrated need for the project

Also GAA (Section 6 Rider 8b) Special Provisions Relating Only to State Agencies of Higher Education (page III-233) prohibits the use of appropriated funds for auxiliary purposes such as athletics and parking Section 54 of the Special Provisions (page III-246) also restricts the use of funds in the Research Development Strategy to purposes defi ned in Texas Education Code Section 62091 Communityjunior colleges can spend General Revenue Funds only for instruction and administrative costs (Texas Education Code Section 130003(c))

This report presents the different ways that public institutions and agencies allocate state appropriations and highlights the flexibility with which these appropriations may be expended References to appropriated funds are based on the Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 2012ndash13 biennium GAA as adjusted for certain appropriations made in Article IX (General Provisions) of the GAA contingency appropriations other bills making appropriations in fi scal years 2012 and 2013 and Governor vetoes Amounts for fiscal year 2011 have been adjusted for the Supplemental Appropriations Bill House Bill 4 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 and Senate Bill 2 First Called Session 2011 Each category of institutionmdashgeneral academic health-related community and technical colleges and Texas AampM System agenciesmdashis presented separately Th e only THECB funds detailed in this report are funds that have been distributed to public institutions

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

OVERVIEW General academic institutions are listed in the Texas Education Code (61003) Figure 4 lists the institutions and their enrollments All of the institutions have common goals of instruction research and public service however each has a unique set of academic offerings and a unique regional or statewide mission

General academic institutions receive direct appropriations via funding formulas and non-formula appropriations Direct appropriations are identified in the informational strategies of each institutionrsquos bill pattern in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) As mentioned earlier appropriations are made to institutions as a lump sum Th e informational strategies reflect how state funds are ldquoallocatedrdquo not how they must be spent This means that with a few exceptions higher education entities unlike other state agencies are not required to spend appropriations within a specified funding strategy

The appropriation levels in each strategy refl ect diff erent revenue sources such as General Revenue Funds General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (mostly tuition and fee revenue) and Other Funds These revenue sources are referred to as the ldquomethod of fi nancerdquo Figure 5 illustrates the method of finance for $74 billion in appropriations for general academic institutions including a number of the indirect appropriations referenced in the next paragraph but does not include appropriations for employee retirement benefi ts

There are also appropriations that benefit institutions that are not reflected in the bill pattern of individual institutions including the Higher Education Fund the Available National Research University Fund Available University Fund certain employee benefits and funds trusteed to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB)

Figure 6 presents the percentage of funding related to each of these direct and indirect appropriations All of these appropriations are further described in the following pages

In addition general academic institutions have access to funds not reflected in the state appropriations process Examples of this include indirect cost recovery certain tuition and fees such as ldquodesignated tuitionrdquo and ldquoincidental feesrdquo (both are described in Appendix B) auxiliary operations (ie revenue from athletics student services fees bookstore and parking) and grants and gifts

FORMULA FUNDING Nearly 573 percent of state appropriations for general academic institutions are allocated via two funding formulas and two supplements Instruction and Operations Formula Teaching Experience Supplement Infrastructure Formula

and Small Institution Supplement The formulas and supplements are direct appropriations and are primarily based on enrollment

The formula appropriations consist of General Revenue Funds and some Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG) Other EampG includes specific tuition and fee revenue (see Appendix B for a listing of tuition and fee provisions) The inclusion of certain tuition and fee revenue in the formula funding calculation is referred to as an ldquoAll Funds methodologyrdquo to formula funding Th e most significant tuition revenue included in the formula calculation is tuition charged in accordance with Texas Education Code Section 54051 Interim Tuition Rates (referred to as statutory tuition) The statutory tuition rate for the 2012ndash13 academic year is $50 per semester credit hour for Texas residents Th e corresponding tuition rate for a nonresident student is the average nonresident tuition charged to a Texas resident at a public university in each of the five most populous states

Of the $40 billion allocated by the general academic formulas and supplements nearly 728 percent consists of General Revenue Funds with the remainder consisting of General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (Other EampG)

A portion of Other EampG income is set aside for specifi c purposes or allocated to non-formula based strategies in the

institutionrsquos bill pattern For example institutions set aside a portion of their tuition to provide Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) TPEG are grants designed to help students cover their tuition fees and textbook costs when these expenses exceed a certain portion of their familiesrsquo contributions to their educations This set-aside revenue is not part of the tuition and fee revenue used to calculate the funding formulas

INSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS FORMULA

About 815 percent of formula funds flow through the Instruction and Operations Formula ($32716 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) and Teaching Experience Supplement ($957 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) Th e Instruction and Operations formula is calculated as follows

Semester Credit Hours X ProgramLevel Weight X Rate (5371)

Semester credit hours (SCH) are a measurement of how many classes (and the number of students enrolled in those classes) an institution delivers The formula calculation for a biennium uses a ldquobase periodrdquo of SCH The ldquobase periodrdquo used for the 2012ndash13 biennium was the combination of summer 2010 fall 2010 and spring 2011

SCH is weighted by discipline (eg nursing is weighted more than liberal arts) and by level (ie lower and upper division masters doctoral and professional) For instance a lower division liberal arts course receives a weight of 10 A doctoral level liberal arts course receives a weight of 923 A nursing lower division course receives a weight of 203 A doctoral nursing course receives a weight of 925 Beginning with the 2006ndash07 GAA the basis for the weights per discipline was shifted to an aggregation of actual costs based on institutions Annual Financial Reports Currently THECB uses a rolling three year average to adjust the weights each biennium

THECB recommends a rate based on its recommended weights and program enhancements The legislature sets the weights and the rate in the Higher Education Special Provisions of the GAA (page III-238) In practice the legislature has set the rate based on available funding including consideration of enrollment changes and other factors Figure 7 illustrates the Instruction and Operations Formula allocation to institutions

TEACHING EXPERIENCE SUPPLEMENT

For the 2012ndash13 biennium an additional weight of ten percent is added to lower-division and upper-division semester credit hours taught by tenured and tenure-track faculty The 2012ndash13 GAA includes the following language ldquoFurthermore it is the intent of the Legislature that the weight shall increase by 10 percent per biennium up to 50 percentrdquo (Special Provisions Relating Only to State Agencies of Higher Education Sec 28 page III-238 2012ndash13 GAA)

The Teaching Experience Supplement is calculated as follows

Semester Credit Hours X ProgramLevel Weight Supplement (10) X Rate (5371)

The Teaching Experience Supplement was 5 percent during the 1998ndash99 and 2000ndash01 biennia Th e Seventy-seventh Legislature 2001 increased the supplement to the current 10 percent in 2002ndash03 biennium

INFRASTRUCTURE FORMULA

Almost 16 percent of formula funds flow through the Infrastructure Formula and Small Institution Supplement ($6768 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) In addition to

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 7

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

the universities the State Colleges and components of Texas State Technical College also receive infrastructure formula appropriations This formula uses a statewide infrastructure rate which is set in the GAA The statewide infrastructure rate is divided into two rates an Adjusted Utility Rate and an All Other Rate As with the SCH rate the legislature has set the rate based on available funding including consideration of changes in institutional space and other factors

The Infrastructure Formula is calculated as follows

(Adjusted Utility Rate + All Other Rates) X Predicted Square Feet

The Adjusted Utility Rate is 52 percent of the statewide infrastructure rate The 52 percent reflects the percentage of infrastructure formula funds that institutions historically spent on utilities A statewide utility rate is determined and then adjusted for each institution to reflect utility costs relative to other institutions

The All Other Rate is 48 percent of the statewide infrastructure rate and remains constant among institutions It accounts for physical plant grounds maintenance and custodial services

THECBrsquos Space Projection Model for Higher Education Institutions in Texas (space model) estimates square footage for each institution The objective of the space model projection is to calculate the amount of space an institution needs based on the following

bull number program and level of semester credit hours

bull number of faculty non-faculty students programs and library holdings and

bull research and current EampG expenditures

Figure 8 illustrates the Infrastructure Formula allocation to institutions The similarity of the allocation to the Instruction and Operations Formula allocation demonstrates the influence of enrollment on both formula allocations

SMALL INSTITUTION SUPPLEMENT

Prior to the Eighty-fi rst Legislature (2009) general academic institutions with enrollments of less than 5000 received a $750000 annual Small Institution Supplement However the Eighty-first Legislature increased the enrollment threshold to 10000 students and implemented a phase-out

(based on the number of students) of the supplement between 5000 and 10000 students for the 2012ndash13 biennium (see Figure 9) This supplement recognizes that institutions have a minimum cost of operation that may not be covered by funds generated through the formulas

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

Th e Eighty-first Legislature 2009 provided $414 million in General Revenue hold harmless funding for aff ected institutions to minimize the effect of reduced formula funding as a result of overall enrollment declines or declines in upper-division or graduate enrollment Decreases in formula funding could be caused by declining enrollment a shift from upper level or graduate semester credit hours to lower level hours a much smaller increase in enrollment than other institutions or a change in utility costs Th e Eighty-second Legislature 2011 provided $444 million in a hold harmless based on total General Revenue Funds (formula and non-formula) for the 2012ndash13 biennium

NON-FORMULA FUNDING

SPECIAL ITEMS

Special Item appropriations to the institutions total $4836 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium In 2012ndash13 $69 million was appropriated to system offices for special items These are direct appropriations to institutions for projects that are not funded by formula but are specifi cally identifi ed by the legislature as needing support An institution is not required to spend the amount identified in a Special Item strategy for that particular project but expenditure reports indicate that institutions often use an entire appropriation along with additional funding for the related project

The majority of special item funding is through the Institutional Enhancement strategy Institutional Enhancement is a $2204 million appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium This is a direct appropriation to institutions and was established by the Seventy-sixth Legislature 1999 for the 2000ndash01 biennium Th e fi rst Institutional Enhancement appropriation was based on a consolidation of certain Special Item appropriations in 1999 and an additional $1 million per year was appropriated for each institution Examples of consolidated special items are items that could be funded through the formulas such as general institutional academic and research support

For the 2002ndash03 biennium there was an additional $1 million increase in appropriations for most institutions and a $15 million increase for selected institutions in South Texas and the border region Institutions that benefi ted signifi cantly from the Seventy-seventh Legislaturersquos new University Research and Texas Excellence Funds (House Bill 1839 Seventy-seventh Legislature 2001) or from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) ldquoexcellence fundingrdquo did not receive an increase in Institutional Enhancement funds for the 2002ndash03 biennium

Other Special Items total $2632 million in appropriations for the 2012ndash13 biennium and include the following institutional and instructional support public service items research items other than general research support funding for separate campuses and accreditation program items

TEXAS COMPETITIVE KNOWLEDGE FUND

The Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund (TCKF) is authorized by the General Appropriations Act (GAA) (2012ndash13 Biennium) Article III Higher Education Special Provisions Section 56 The GAA prescribes that this funding will be used to support faculty for the purpose of instructional excellence and research Funding was first allocated in these strategies by the Legislature for the 2008ndash09 biennium

Current institutions receiving TCKF appropriations include The University of Texas at Austin Texas AampM University University of Houston Texas Tech University and Th e University of Texas at Dallas Institutions are allocated funding appropriated to the TCKF based on average research expenditures for the previous three-year period Th e Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 appropriated $935 million in Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund strategies directly to the institutions This funding level provides approximately $07 million to each institution for every $100 million in research expenditures In practice

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

when institutions have first received distributions from the fund appropriations have been reduced from the institutionrsquos special item strategies In subsequent biennia the institution continues to receive appropriations from the TCKF and the reduction in special items is not specifi cally restored

RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT FUND

The Research Development Fund was created by House Bill 3526 Seventy-eighth Legislature Regular Session 2003 and replaced the Texas Excellence and University Research Funds effective September 1 2005 The intent was to combine the Texas Excellence Fund and University Research Fund into a new fund applying a uniform allocation methodology based on a three-year average of each institutionrsquos restricted research expenditures Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature allocated $653 million (Figure 10) in the 2012ndash13 biennium to individual institutions to fund objectives identical to the Research Development Fund (Section 62091)

TEXAS RESEARCH INCENTIVE PROGRAM

Th e Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009 established the Texas Research Incentive Program (TRIP) at THECB to match state appropriations with certain gifts and endowments received by emerging research universities Th e goal of this $178 million a year program is to create more Tier One universities in Texas

PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE INITIATIVE

The Eightieth Legislature 2007 appropriated $100 million in fiscal year 2009 to THECB to establish a Higher Education Performance Incentive Initiative The funding was for ldquoimprovement in teaching and educational excellence at Texas public general academic institutionsrdquo THECB distributed $80 million for increases in degrees awarded with special weights given to critical fields and at-risk students The remaining $20 million was used to fund scholarships for students graduating in the top 10 percent of their high school class

Th e Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009 maintained the $80 million for the higher education performance incentive initiative (funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) and increased funding for the Top Ten Percent scholarship program by $34 million bringing total appropriations for the program to $54 million

There were no performance funding incentives for the 2012ndash13 biennium For the 2012ndash13 biennium $396

million is appropriated to the Top Ten Percent Scholarship Program

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 provided $444 million in General Revenue Funds hold harmless funding for aff ected institutions to minimize the effect of reduced formula and special item funding Decreases in formula funding could be caused by declining enrollment a shift from upper level or graduate semester credit hours to lower level hours a much smaller increase in enrollment that other institutions or a change in utility costs

CAPITAL FUNDS

In addition to the constitutional funds discussed in the next subsection there are three types of state appropriation for capital funds tuition revenue bonds Skiles Act revenue bonds and lease payments Almost all of the direct appropriations to institutions related to capital funds are for debt service on tuition revenue bonds

A $5931 million General Revenue Funds appropriation was made for tuition revenue bond debt service for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Tuition revenue bonds must be authorized in statute Once an authorization is made institutions issue bonds and make related debt payments with tuition revenue Th e Texas Public Finance Authority issues tuition revenue bonds for Midwestern State University Stephen F Austin University Texas Southern University and the Texas State Technical Colleges Legislative practice has been to use General Revenue Funds to reimburse institutions for the costs related to this debt service

The legislature first authorized tuition revenue bonds in 1971 In some instances the authorization was a lump sum for the benefit of specific institutions During the Seventy-eighth Legislature 2003 $2689 million in tuition revenue bonds was authorized for specific projects at various higher education institutions The Seventy-ninth Legislature Th ird Called Session 2005 adopted House Bill 153 which authorized the issuance of $1858 billion in tuition revenue bonds for forty-four different institutions Only one tuition revenue bond (House Bill 1775) was adopted by the Eightieth Legislature 2007 for a $13 million nursing building at Stephen F Austin University Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature 2009 authorized one tuition revenue bond for Texas AampM University at Galveston The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not authorize any new tuition revenue bonds

The authority for Skiles Act Revenue Bonds was repealed in 1997 It had allowed institutions to pledge up to $5 from each enrolled student for each regular semester to the payment of bonds authorized under the governing boardrsquos general authority to sell revenue bonds Institutions use their Other Educational and General Income (General Revenuendash Dedicated Funds) to pay the debt service on these previously authorized bonds This is a $10 million appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Three general academic institutions receive a $3 million General Revenue Fund appropriation for lease payments to community colleges for facilities

CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

These funds are appropriated separately in the GAA and not directly appropriated to the institutions (see Appendix D)

The Available University Fund (AUF) established in Section 18 Article VII Texas Constitution consists of the surface income and investment proceeds from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) a state endowment with land grants totaling 21 million acres

Distributions to the AUF consist of investment returns from PUF assets surface income from PUF lands and interest earned on AUF balances For the 2012ndash13 biennium investment returns were $12200 million surface income was $398 million and interest income was $59 million Income from the sale of PUF lands and the lease of mineral interest is retained in the PUF and invested

The total 2012ndash13 estimated appropriation for the AUF is $12660 million The Constitution appropriates two-thirds of the AUF to The University of Texas System and one-third to the Texas AampM University System The two systems may use the AUF for capital purposes (debt service on PUF bonds) for most of their institutions and ldquofor the support and maintenancerdquo of other institutions listed Entities authorized to receive funding for ldquosupport and maintenancerdquo which is now commonly referred to as ldquoAUF Excellence Fundingrdquo are the two system offi ces The University of Texas at Austin Texas AampM University and Prairie View AampM University The systemsrsquo boards of regents determine allocations to individual institutions including health-related institutions and the amounts for ldquoExcellencerdquo Figure 11 lists the recipients and the type of support they received

The Higher Education Fund (HEF) as authorized in Section 17 Article VII Texas Constitution benefits institutions of higher education not eligible for the AUF (see Figure 12)

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

The HEF is supported by General Revenue Fund appropriations

The distribution of the $525 million HEF appropriation for 2012ndash13 is provided for in statute (Texas Education Code Section 62021) The Constitution calls for a re-allocation of HEF funds every ten years The Seventy-ninth Legislature Regular Session fulfilled this requirement with the enactment of House Bill 3001

The Constitution also allows the legislature to adjust the decennial allocations every five years Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature Regular Session 2011 exercised this authority by enacting House Bill 51 which adjusted the formula allocation for the HEF funds for fiscal years 2009 through 2015

To maintain the equitable distribution of the HEF appropriation House Bill 51 also corrected the distribution of fiscal year 2009 and 2010 HEF allocations by using revised formula calculations Using these revised formula calculations House Bill 51 factored in updated data elements to generate the annual HEF allocations for the fi ve-year period starting in fiscal year 2011

HEF funds must be used for capital purposes Institutions may use HEF allocations for debt service on HEF bonds or as cash

In 1995 the Texas Constitution was amended to authorize the creation and funding of a dedicated HEF corpus known as the Permanent Higher Education Fund (PHEF) Th is corpus was separate from the annual HEF allocation of General Revenue Funds The PHEF was intended to become a permanent endowment to support non-PUF eligible institutions but never reached its targeted value of $2 billion

The PHEF corpus of $5159 million was rededicated with the enactment of Proposition 4 which amended Article 7 of the Texas Constitution by establishing the National Research University Fund (NRUF) The balance of the PHEF was transferred to the NRUF on January 1 2010 and the authorization for the PHEF expired Proposition 4 also allowed the legislature to appropriate some or all of the total returns from the NRUF to provide a source of funding to enable emerging research universities to achieve national prominence

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 appropriated $124 million in estimated NRUF proceeds to eligible institutions in the 2012ndash13 biennium

House Bill 1000 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 established the specific eligibility and distribution criteria for the 2012ndash13 NRUF appropriations To be eligible to receive NRUF appropriations an institution must meet two mandatory criteria and four out of six optional criteria The mandatory criteria are that the institution in designated as an emerging research university within the Higher Education Coordinating Boardrsquos Accountability System and that the institution reported at least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the preceding two fi scal years Optional criteria include the following possession of an endowment fund values in excess of $400 million awarding over 200 Doctor of Philosophy degrees per year having an entering freshman class of high academic achievement recognition of the institutions research capability and scholarly attainment possession of a high-quality faculty and possession of high-quality graduate education programs Texas Tech University and the University of Houston are the only two institutions that received funding through this program in 2012

HIGHER EDUCATION GROUP INSURANCE (HEGI)

The $4631 million General Revenue Fund appropriation for higher education group insurance (HEGI) is not a direct appropriation in the institutionsrsquo bill patterns It is appropriated in a separate section of the GAA entitled ldquoHigher Education Employees Group Insurance Contributionsrdquo This appropriation is intended to help institutions cover the cost of health insurance premiums for institution employees whose salaries are paid from the General Revenue Fund Because The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own health insurance programs they each receive separate appropriations The remaining institutions are included in the program operated by the Employees Retirement System (ERS)

The HEGI appropriation is sum-certain That is the Statersquos General Revenue Fund contributions are limited to each institutionrsquos number of employees enrolled in the health insurance program as of December 1 2012 However the GAA allows ERS The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems to transfer HEGI appropriations among institutions within their respective group insurance programs to address shortfalls in General Revenue Funds related to group insurance premiums

SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS

An appropriation for social security is included in the GAA at the end of Article III It is an estimated General Revenue

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

Fund appropriation to provide the employer matching funds for employees of institutions of higher education (Th is appropriation amount is not included in Figure 3 on page 2)

STAFF GROUP INSURANCE

Staff group insurance is for staff whose salaries are not paid with General Revenue Funds (GR) The appropriation is based on an estimation of the number of non-GR funded employees at an institution as of December 1 2010 Th e total appropriation for all general academic institutions is $1766 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium The method of finance is Other Educational and General Income (which is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds)

RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS

Appropriations for retirement contributions are included under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) bill patterns Some higher education employees primarily faculty and top administrators are eligible for ORP a defi ned contribution plan similar to a 401k Other higher education employees participate in TRS a defi ned benefit plan The state funds retirement contributions for TRS equal to 60 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal year 2012 and 64 percent in 2013 State contributions for ORP are equal to 60 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal years 2012 and 2013 (Th ese appropriation amounts are not included in Figure 3 on page 2)

OTHER NON-FORMULA FUNDING

WORKERSrsquo COMPENSATION

Changes in the structure of the statewide workersrsquo compensation system resulted in most institutions receiving General Revenue Fund appropriations for Workersrsquo Compensation starting in 2006ndash07 However Th e University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own workersrsquo compensation pools while all other institutions are part of the State Office of Risk Managementrsquos workersrsquo compensation pool

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

Most components of The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems have this strategy because they operate their own risk pools Th ese institutions receive General Revenue Fund appropriations for unemployment compensation insurance The appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium is $05 million in General Revenue Funds Th e Texas Workforce Commission receives an appropriation to

cover unemployment benefi ts for former state employees for all other higher education institutions

TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANTS

According to statute (Texas Education Code Chapter 56 Subchapter C and Texas Education Code Section 54051 [Statutory Tuition]) institutions must set aside a portion of tuition revenue for Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) Fifteen percent of each resident studentrsquos tuition and 3 percent of each nonresident studentrsquos tuition are set aside for financial aid to students at the institution Texas Education Code Section 56033 provides guidelines on the allocation of TPEG revenue The GAA includes an estimate of the amount of TPEG revenue each institution will generate Th is $2111 million estimated appropriation is considered Other Educational and General Income which are classifi ed as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY

Indirect costs as defined by The Comptroller of Public Accounts are ldquoincurred for a common or joint purpose benefiting more than one cost objectiverdquo Institutions negotiate a percentage of a federal grant for indirect costs There are a number of factors included in the calculation including building and equipment use allowance operations and maintenance general departmental and sponsored projects administration and library costs

The Seventy-eighth Legislature 2003 allowed universities to retain 100 percent of indirect costs income from research grants and contracts to encourage further research projects conducted by universities

ORGANIZED ACTIVITIES

Organized Activities are activities or enterprises connected with instructional departments whose primary function is training for students Examples include a university farm nurserypreschool programs an optometry clinic and lifeguard training Revenue from Organized Activities is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds Other EampG Income For the 2012ndash13 biennium $503 million is appropriated for Organized Activities

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

OVERVIEW Appropriations for the nine health-related institutions are similar in structure to the appropriations for general academic institutions There are formula and non-formula funding appropriations made directly to the institutions as well as appropriations that benefit the institutions but are not included in the institutionsrsquo bill patterns such as the Available University Fund certain staff benefi ts and funds trusteed at the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) While health-related institutions do not receive appropriations from the Research Development Fund they share many other types of appropriations similar to general academic institution appropriations Th ose appropriations will be briefly restated in this section of the report Figure 13 lists the institutions and their enrollment

Like other higher education institutions the appropriations for health-related institutions are a lump sum and funding strategies are presented for informational purposes in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) The funding strategies in a health-related institutionrsquos bill pattern represent how state funds are allocated but not how they must be spent Also certain methods of finance in the appropriation are estimated This means that if for example patient income for an institution is above the amount included in the GAA

the institution can spend more than the amount listed in the GAA

Also health-related institutions have access to an estimated $109 billion outside the appropriations process in 2012ndash13 Examples of this include certain tuition revenue indirect lost recovery grants and gifts

FORMULA FUNDING The three primary funding formulas for health-related institutions are Instruction and Operations support Infrastructure support and Research Enhancement Th e University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Th e University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler have additional formula allocations to accommodate their unique missions Each health-related institution also receives formula funding for graduate medical education

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 15

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

General Revenue funding and some Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated) fund the formulas Like general academic institutions certain tuition revenue is used in the calculation of the Instruction and Operation support and Infrastructure support formulas Of the $15 billion that is allocated by the health-related institutionsrsquo primary formulas 939 percent is from the General Revenue Fund and the remaining 61 percent is from General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (tuition and fee revenue)

Some tuition and fee income is set aside for specifi c purposes Some specific amounts are unavailable for formula purposes and consequently are not a formula method of fi nance For example health-related institutions set aside a portion of their tuition to provide Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) and Medical Loans

INSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS SUPPORT FORMULA

The Instruction and Operations (IampO) support formula represents nearly 755 percent of the primary formula funds for health-related institutions ($9282 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) It is intended to fund items such as faculty salaries departmental operating expenses instructional administration and libraries It is allocated on a per full-time student equivalent (FTSE) basis with a funding weight predicated on the instructional program of the student This formula applies to all health-related

institutions except The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler which did not offer education instruction during the base period for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Figure 15 illustrates the Instruction and Operations support formula among the eight health-related institutions

The Instruction and Operations support formula is calculated as follows

(FTSE X Program Weight X $8874) + SmallMultiple Campus Supplement

FTSE is weighted by discipline For example medicine (4753) is weighted more than pharmacy (1670) Allied Health is assigned a weight of 1000

The Legislature sets the weights and the rate ($8874 adjusted for the 2012ndash13 biennium) in the Higher Education Special Provisions of the GAA (Sec 29 page III-239 and 240) The rate is calculated based on the available revenue for the formula and the number of FTSEs

Programs with enrollments less than 200 receive a Small Campus Supplement (see Figure 16)

INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT FORMULA

The Infrastructure support formula is 194 percent of the primary formula funding and is intended for utilities and physical plant support ($2383 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) This formula calculation is similar to that for general academic institutions but includes only one rate ($655) for all institutions except The University of Texas

THECBrsquos space model predicts square footage for each institution The space model projection is based on the following

bull number and level of FTE students

bull number of faculty

bull single or multiple programs and campuses

bull actual clinical space and

bull research and current EampG expenditures

Because the space projection model does not account for hospital space separate infrastructure funding for hospital space is included in the total funding for hospital and patient-care activities at The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

RESEARCH FORMULA

Health-related institutions generate state appropriations to support research through General Revenue Funds in the Research Enhancement formula ($629 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) The Research Enhancement formula accounts for 51 percent of the primary formula funds and is funded entirely from the General Revenue Fund

The allocation is based on the amount of research generated by each institution

$1412500 + (110 X Research

Expenditures)

This provides a base Institutions report for all institutions current research

regardless of research expenditures to volume THECB

Figure 18 illustrates the Research Enhancement formula allocation to the institutions among the nine health-related institutions

GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION

The Seventy-ninth Legislature 2005 established a new formula for funding graduate medical education in the 2006ndash07 GAA For 2012ndash13 the funding totals $46 million

NON-FORMULA FUNDING

PATIENT CARE ACTIVITIES

Some institutions conduct patient care activities generally medical or dental For the 2012ndash13 biennium the estimated appropriation for Patient Income was $56 billion Th e hospital and clinic revenues earned through patient care activities are considered Other Funds which are part of Educational and General Income (not to be confused with Other Educational and General Income which is another subset of Educational and General Income) General Revenue funding supplements patient-care income to varying degrees at each institution Patient Income is an estimated appropriation and is spread across an institutionrsquos funding strategies however it is not used in the calculation of the formulas

INSTITUTIONAL ENHANCEMENT

Institutional Enhancement is a General Revenue Fund appropriation that started in the 2000ndash01 biennium It is designed to allow each institution to address its unique needs and diseconomies of scale at institutions with smaller campuses The total institutional enhancement appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium was $42 million which includes $407 million in General Revenue Funds and $16 million in Patient Income

SPECIAL ITEMS

Special items are activities that are not generally funded through the formulas and typically represent an institutionrsquos special needs or areas of expertise The $3107 million in General Revenue Funds for the 2012ndash13 biennium funds items such as residency programs academic outreach programs public service items and research items other than general research support Institutions propose and justify special items and request an amount for each on an ad hoc basis Special items generally remain constant from biennium to biennium unless the item was a one-time expense (eg tornado damage repairs) or the institution has not used the funding for the intended purpose

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

These funds are not directly appropriated to institutions in the GAA In other words these funds are not found in a strategy within an institutionrsquos bill pattern

Health-related institutions are eligible for funding from the Available University Fund ($146 million in Other Funds allocated to these institutions by system offices for the 2012ndash 13 biennium) and the Higher Education Fund ($257 million in General Revenue Funds appropriated for the 2012ndash13 biennium) which are presented in detail in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section of this report

CAPITAL FUNDS

Just like general academic institutions tuition revenue bonds ($1665 million in General Revenue Funds for related debt service in the 2012ndash13 biennium) are also used to fund capital projects at health-related institutions A detailed presentation of tuition revenue bonds is in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center also have separate appropriations for capital projects that are funded primarily with Patient Income

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Like general academic institutions health-related institutions benefit from direct and indirect state appropriations related to employee benefi ts The indirect appropriations include Higher Education Group Insurance ($2339 million in General Revenue Funds for the 2012ndash13 biennium) Retirement Contributions and Social Security Benefi ts (all presented in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section) The direct appropriations include Staff Group Insurance

For the 2012ndash13 biennium the Workersrsquo Compensation and Unemployment Compensation strategies (all presented in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section) are funded directly with General Revenue Funds and General RevenuendashDedicated Funds However The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own workersrsquo compensation pools while all other institutions are part of the State Office of Risk Managementrsquos workersrsquo compensation pool The University of Texas and Texas AampM Systems also manage their own unemployment compensation coverage while all other institutions receive coverage from

the Texas Workforce Commission which receives an appropriation to cover unemployment benefi ts

TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANTS

Health-related institutions similar to general academic institutions are subject to the Texas Education Code (sect56031 et al) provision requiring a portion of tuition revenue be set aside to fund Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) For the 2012ndash13 biennium the estimated TPEG appropriation is $188 million This revenue is considered Other Education and General Income which is classifi ed as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY

As mentioned earlier in this section Indirect Cost Recovery was removed from the GAA for the 2010ndash11 biennium however the individual institution still receives the funds

TOBACCO SETTLEMENT

House Bill 1945 Seventy-sixth Legislature 1999 established the Permanent Health Fund for health-related institutions of Higher Education the Permanent Fund for Minority Health Research and Education the Permanent Fund for Higher Education Nursing Allied Health and Other Health Related Programs and 13 permanent endowments for individual institutions of higher education The $769 million in estimated interest earnings from the endowments for 2012ndash13 (based on estimated interest earnings of 45 percent each year) were appropriated to the health-related institutions

COMMUNITY COLLEGES

Instruction and Administration General Revenue Funds from the state are based on contact hour driven formulas for two-year institutions Tuition and fee revenues and local tax revenues augment state General Revenue Funds for these costs

Academic Courses Approximately 82 percent of the total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are academic courses

Technical Courses Approximately 18 percent of the total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are vocationaltechnical courses

Physical Plant The state provides no funding for physical plant operations and maintenance Local taxing districts are expected to provide support for physical plant needs Community colleges are projected to receive approximately $12 billion in tax income in fiscal year 2011

Facilities Local communities must provide facilities Community colleges are not eligible to receive Higher Education Fund (HEF) allocations Available University Fund allocations or state tuition revenue bonds

Employee Benefits While community college employees are locally-employed community colleges participate in the Employee Retirement System (ERS) Group Benefits Program for health benefi ts and the Teacher Retirement System(TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) for retirement benefits The state makes General Revenue Fund contributions for the health and retirement benefits

Tuition Fee Revenues Tuition and fee revenues are considered institutional funds and are not appropriated by the state Tuition rates vary by institution In 2012 the statewide tuition rates plus fees averaged $73 per semester credit hour but varied from $34 to $208 per semester credit hour

Local Tax Revenue Community Colleges are projected to receive approximately $12 billion in tax income in fiscal year 2011 Local tax revenues are expected to provide support for physical plant needs and augment state General Revenue Funds for instruction and administration costs

SOURCE Legislative Budget Board

TSTCLAMAR COLLEGES

Instruction and Administration General Revenue Funds from the state are based on formulas for two-year institutions Tuition and fee revenues augment General Revenue Funds for these costs

Academic Courses Approximately 39 percent at the Lamar colleges and 28 percent at Texas State Technical College (TSTC) of total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are academic courses

Technical Courses Approximately 61 percent at the Lamar colleges and 72 percent at TSTC of total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are vocationaltechnical courses

Physical Plant State funding based on the formula for general academic institutions The Lamar colleges will receive approximately $71 million and TSTC will receive $157 million in General Revenue Funds for physical plant and utilities in the 2012ndash13 biennium

Facilities The Lamar colleges receive approximately $42 million annually from HEF funds and TSTC receives almost $58 million annually The HEF monies are used to acquire land construct and equip buildings provide major building repair or rehabilitation and acquire capital equipment and library materials

Employee Benefits Both the Lamar colleges and TSTC institutions participate in ERSrsquo Group Benefits Program for health benefits and the TRS and ORP programs for retirement benefits The state makes General Revenue Fund contributions for the health and retirement benefits of those employees having their salaries paid with General Revenue Funds

Tuition Fee Revenues Certain tuition revenue is appropriated by the state In 2012 for resident students average tuition plus fees was $139 per semester credit hour at the Lamar colleges and $150 per semester credit hour at TSTC

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

These institutions are primarily funded based on student contact hours A contact hour is a standard unit of measure that represents an hour of scheduled academic and technical instruction given to students during a semester Community and junior college districts generate almost 958 percent of the state-funded contact hours at two-year institutions TSTC components generate approximately 29 percent of the contact hours and the three Lamar State Colleges account for the 13 percent

COMMUNITY COLLEGES Over 99 percent of the direct appropriations to community colleges are from the General Revenue Fund and are generated through a funding formula The remaining direct appropriations are for isolated ldquospecial itemsrdquo including appropriations for the Southwest Collegiate Institute for the Deaf which is part of the appropriation for Howard College The Texas Education Code Section 130003(a) calls for state appropriations to public community colleges to ldquosupplement local funds for the proper support maintenance operation and improvement of those public junior colleges of Texas that meet the standards prescribed by the chapterrdquo Further Education Code Section 130003(c) indicates that state funds must be used ldquoexclusively for the purpose of paying salaries of instructional and administrative forceshellip and the purchase of supplies and materials for instructional purposesrdquo

Consistent with statute community colleges have their own Instruction and Administration Formula which is funded by General Revenue Funds and based on ldquostudent contact hoursrdquo Unlike general academic institution formulas this formula does not include tuition and fee revenue as part of the method of fi nance

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 also provided $45 million to certain districts through a new small institution supplemental formula A district is eligible for the supplement if it makes a significantly above-average effort to generate tax income while at the same time experiencing below-average tax revenue and does not have a number of contact hours that exceeds the statewide median Th e Eighty-second Legislature appropriated each eligible district $05 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium

No state funding is provided for physical plant operations and maintenance or for facilities that is supported by local tax eff ort

Three community colleges receive weighted semester credit hour formula funding for a Bachelor of Applied Technology degree program

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

Th e Eighty-first Legislature 2009 provided $153 million in General Revenue formula hold harmless funding for aff ected community colleges to minimize the effect of reduced formula funding as a result of overall contact hour declines The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not provide any hold harmless funding in the 2012ndash13 biennium

Property taxes tuition and fees are other major sources of revenue for community colleges Figure 21 illustrates the estimated sources of funding for community colleges Th e state appropriations in Figure 21 include all formula special item Higher Education Group Insurance appropriations and retirement benefi t appropriations

FORMULA FUNDING

The basis of the formula starts with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) Report of Fundable Operating Expenses (RFOE) (formally called the All Funds Expenditure Report) The study includes all expenditures for instruction and administration (facilities costs are not included) in 26 program areas THECB uses the expenditure data to determine the median cost in the 26 program areasmdashthe ldquoratesrdquo for contact hours in those disciplines THECB then makes a recommendation for

LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 22

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

funding based on the rates Over the years THECB has used various methodologies as the basis for its funding recommendations Because the RFOE takes into account all funds (state appropriations plus tuition and tax revenue which are not appropriated) THECBrsquos recommendation for state funding has generally not equaled 100 percent of the rates

The amount of the appropriation is a legislative decision based on funds available The appropriation is allocated to the colleges according to each districtrsquos pro-rata share of THECB recommendations

HIGHER EDUCATION GROUP INSURANCE (HEGI)

Like state institutions of higher education community colleges receive General Revenue Fund contributions for group insurance However since community college employees are local not state employees state contributions for health benefits are fully discretionary Other agencies and institutions of higher education report employee eligibility for General Revenue-funded group health insurance benefi ts only if the employeersquos salary is directly paid with General Revenue Funds However in the past community colleges tended to base eligibility for General Revenue-funded benefits if the employeersquos job function fell under an approved ldquoelement of costrdquo This practice caused community colleges to report eligibility for state funded health benefits in a manner that did not always match the source of the employeersquos salary

This practice led to the Governorrsquos veto of the Group Health Insurance appropriation for fiscal year 2009 ($154 million) at the end of the Eightieth Legislative session However an agreement to restore the vetoed funds was reached and returned directly to the districts in House Bill 4586 Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009

The Eight-Second Legislature 2011 allowed community colleges to receive General Revenue Fund contributions for employees whose job function fell under an approved ldquoelement of costrdquo However the Legislature only funded 42 percent of the premium costs for these employees

OTHER STAFF BENEFITS

Appropriations for retirement contributions are included under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) bill patterns Some higher education employees primarily faculty and certain administrators are eligible for ORP a defi ned contribution plan similar to a 401k Other higher education employees

participate in TRS a defi ned benefit plan In both instances the state funds retirement contributions equal 60 and 64 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal year 2012 and fi scal year 2013 respectively (These appropriation amounts are not included in Figure 2 on page 3)

DRAMATIC ENROLLMENT GROWTH

Since the 1996ndash97 biennium public community colleges have received ldquoDramatic Enrollment Growth Fundingrdquo For the 2000ndash01 biennium this was expanded to include Texas State Technical Colleges and Lamar State Colleges (Lamars) The appropriation was made to THECB Rider 13 page IIIshy53 General Appropriations Act (2010ndash11 Biennium) provided guidelines for distributing this funding

For the 2010ndash11 biennium THECB is authorized to allocate up to $175 million per year to schools experiencing a growth rate of five percent or greater in 2010 and eight percent or greater in 2011 The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not provide any dramatic enrollment growth funding in the 2012-13 biennium

OTHER TRUSTEED FUNDS

Students at community colleges also benefi t from Texas Educational Opportunity Grants the student fi nancial aid program appropriation that is allocated by THECB

TEXAS STATE TECHNICAL COLLEGE LAMAR STATE COLLEGES The Texas State Technical Colleges (TSTC) and Lamar State Colleges are allocated a majority of their appropriation via two formulas the Instruction and Administration Formula for two-year institutions and the Infrastructure Formula for general academic institutions Similar to general academic institutions the tuition revenue for these colleges is included in the appropriations bill

Contact hours for vocationaltechnical courses represent approximately 61 percent of total contact hours at the Lamar State Colleges and 72 percent at TSTC institutions Th e remaining contact hours are generated from academic and continuing education courses

Facilities funding is available from the Higher Education Fund for both TSTC and the Lamars State Colleges and both have received Tuition Revenue Bond authorizations

FUNDING TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES

There are seven research and service agencies that are administered by the Texas AampM University System Th e system agenciesrsquo missions differ from other institutions of higher education in that each system agency focuses on one or two of the three traditional missions of higher education institutions research extension and service (Figure 22)

FIGURE 22 TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES MISSIONS AND FUNCTIONS

STATUTORY AUTHORITY MISSIONFUNCTIONS

For the 2012ndash13 biennium the total direct appropriations for Texas AampM System (System) agencies are $8897 million In addition to state appropriations the System agencies receive some Federal Funds that are not included in the General Appropriations Act and have access to private funds While System agencies have significant portions of their Other Funds and Federal Funds appropriated the appropriations are estimated and actual income from these funding sources is subject to signifi cant variation

FUNDING TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES

FIGURE 23 TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES COMPARED TO INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION

SIMILARITIES

FUNDING

Both Texas AampM System (System) agencies and institutions of higher education have considerable flexibility in their budgeting and financial operations (ldquolump sumrdquo appropriations)

Both are eligible to receive proceeds from the Permanent University Fund

Both are considered to be institutions of higher education for purposes of employee group health insurance

Both System agencies and institutions of higher education generate and keep 100 percent of indirect cost recovery from research and other grants

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

OPERATIONS

Like other institutions of higher education System agencies are not required to submit operating budgets or strategic plans

Both are statutorily embedded within the Texas AampM Systemrsquos institutional framework

SOURCE Legislative Budget Board

DIFFERENCES

General academic health-related and two-year institutions receive formula funding while System agencies do not

Texas AampM System agencies do not generate revenue in the same manner or amount of other higher education institutions

Performance measures for the System agencies are agency-specific while performance measures for other higher education institutions are standardized

In several ways state funding for System agencies is similar to funding for higher education institutions System agencies have considerable flexibility in their budgeting and fi nancial operations because they receive lump-sum appropriations in the same manner as other institutions of higher education They are eligible to receive funds from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) (They were allocated $153 million from the PUF for debt service in the 2012ndash13 biennium) System agencies are also funded in the same manner as other institutions of higher education with regard to staff benefi ts including employee group health insurance contributions

However there are several funding diff erences between System agencies and other higher education institutions Most significantly System agencies do not receive formula-based funding Also while some System agencies may charge fees for their services they do not generate tuition and fees in the same manner or quantity as other institutions of higher education

As is the case with all institutions the System agencies keep 100 percent of their respective indirect cost recovery income

because this income is derived from earnings on federal grants and is held outside the treasury

For the 2012ndash13 biennium funding associated with infrastructure expenses and utilities for System agencies inside Brazos County is equal to the infrastructure rate (as determined by the General Academic formulas on page 6) for Texas AampM University

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q What are the limitations on how institutions spend state appropriations

A Generally speaking institutions have great fl exibility in spending appropriated funds however some limitations do exist depending on the source of revenue Appropriated revenue includes General Revenue Funds General Revenuendash Dedicated Funds (mostly tuition and fee income) Other Funds (including Patient Income) and Federal Funds (for certain Texas AampM System Agencies) Th e Texas Constitution (Article VII Section 18(i) and 17(j)) prohibits with limited exceptions the use of General Revenue Funds for acquiring land or for construction projects An exception occurs when the legislature by two-thirds vote in each house expressly determines that there is a demonstrated need for the project

Various provisions in the 2012ndash13 General Appropriations Act (GAA) Higher Education Special Provisions restrict state appropriations These restrictions include the following

bull Section 6 (Rider 8b) which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for auxiliary enterprises

bull Section 6 (Rider 9) which limits the use of these funds to pay debt service for statutorily authorized tuition revenue bonds Any such appropriation not spent must be returned to the General Revenue Fund at the end of the year

bull Section 9 which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for intercollegiate athletics purposes and

bull Section 54 which limits the use of the Research Development Fund to those defined in Education Code Section 62091

Q Would an increase in tuition revenue replace a corresponding amount in General Revenue Funds or would the revenue remain within the institution

A The result depends on how the Legislature responds

For instance assume that the Eight-second Legislature 2011 changed the statute to require institutions to charge nonresident tuition in circumstances where they had previously waived the nonresident tuition rate For the 2012ndash13 biennium institutions would benefit fully from the

increase in tuition revenue (This assumes the formula calculation would not include a projected increase in tuition)

However institutional appropriations in the 2014ndash15 biennium now depend on that legislation passed in the Eighty-third Legislature 2013 Assuming the same number of students (semester credit hours) enroll regardless of changes in tuition policy and that the result of charging nonresident tuition generated $100 million in additional tuition revenue there are three options

1 Reduce General Revenue Funds (GR) in the formulas by $100 million In this scenario the formula rate stays the same and every dollar increase in tuition revenue results in a dollar decrease in GRmdashinstitutional funding does not increase

2 Keep GR the same and run the additional tuition revenue through the formulas Th e formula funding rate would increase and every institution would receive more funds including those institutions that generated no additional tuition revenue

3 Keep GR formula appropriations at the same level and let individual institutions keep the additional tuition revenue they generated outside the formula allocation

Q Are all tuition and fee revenues collected by institutions of higher education included in the appropriations bill

A No None of the tuition and fee revenues collected by community colleges are appropriated

For general academic institutions an estimate of the revenue from certain tuitions and fees such as statutory tuition (Education Code 54051 Tuition Rates) board authorized tuition (Education Code 54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board) Laboratory Fees (Education Code 54501) and certain other fees are appropriated in the GAA as General Revenue FundsndashDedicated Estimated Other Educational and General Income There are a number of other tuitions and fees that are not included in the GAA and therefore not referred to as state funding Such tuitions and fees include but are not limited to designated tuition (Education Code 540513 Redesignation of Building Use Fee) and Incidental Fees (Education Code 54504) Federal

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 27

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Funds are also not appropriated to the general academic and health-related institutions

Q Is a decrease in enrollment the only reason an institution would be eligible for formula funding hold harmless

A No Each session the Legislature makes a determination of whether it will make an appropriation for formula hold harmless A decrease in total enrollment is one reason an institution could be eligible for the funding Because the semester credit hours (general academic institutions) full-time student equivalents (health-related institutions) used in the formulas are based on weights (discipline program and course level) a change in the type of student enrollment regardless of total enrollment could also make an institution eligible for hold harmless funding

Q What are Educational and General Funds

A ldquoOther Educational and General Incomerdquo is a subset of ldquoEducational and General Incomerdquo The following are included in the Education Code (51009(c)) defi nition for ldquoEducational and General Fundsrdquo net tuition special course fees charged under Education Code 54051(e) and (l) lab fees student teaching fees hospital and clinic fees organized activity fees and proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment

Q What does it mean to be a Tier One institution

A The Tier One reference is often derived from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teachingrsquos prior system for classifying institutions of higher education As part of the 1994 version of the Carnegie Classification there were four categories for doctorate granting institutions Research Universities I Research Universities II Doctoral Universities I and Doctoral Universities II ldquoTier Onerdquo was synonymous with Research Universities I Such institutions had to off er a full range of baccalaureate programs award 50 or more doctoral degrees each year and receive annually at least $40 million or more in federal research funds Two institutions in Texas (The University of Texas at Austin and Texas AampM University) met these criteria The 2000 version of the Carnegie Classification collapsed the categories for doctorate granting institutions from four to two Doctoral Research UniversitiesmdashExtensive and DoctoralResearch UniversitiesmdashIntensive Six public institutions in Texas (Texas AampM University Texas Tech University University of Houston University of North Texas The University of Texas at Arlington and The University of Texas at Austin) meet the criteria for DoctoralResearch Universitiesmdash

Extensive In 2005 however the classifi cation structure returned to a more restricted top tier of institutions classifi ed as ldquoResearch Universities (very high research activity)rdquo Both The University of Texas at Austin and Texas AampM University are now counted in this category but any reference to Tier One usually refers to the 1994 Carnegie Classifi cation

Q What is the space model What is the base number of square feet needed

A In 1992 the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approved the Space Projection Model for Higher Education Institutions in Texas for public universities to assess the net assignable square feet (NASF) of educational and general space an institution needs There are fi ve categories incorporated into the model teaching library research offi ce and support space Space needs for auxiliary purposes such as dormitories or athletics are not included in the model Square footage amounts are assigned based on a number of elements within each category including the number of students and their program levels and the amount of research expenditures The space model was fi rst incorporated into the funding formulas for general academic institutions in 1997

Q What are ldquoOrganized Activitiesrdquo

A General academic institutions have a funding strategy titled ldquoOrganized Activitiesrdquo These are activities or enterprises that are connected with instructional departments Th ey are intended primarily to give training to students Examples include a university farm nurserypreschool programs an optometry clinic and lifeguard training

Q What are tuition revenue bonds

A Established in 1971 under Education Code 5513 tuition revenue bonds are bonds (not to exceed 50 years) issued by institutions of higher education for the purpose of ldquoproviding funds to acquire purchase construct improve enlarge andor equip any property buildings structures activities services operations or other facilities for and on behalf of its institution or institutions or any branch of branches thereofrdquo Each institutionsystem is authorized and required to pay debt service on its bonds Although the authorization and issuance of the bonds is not contingent on an appropriation by the state for related debt service the Legislature has provided General Revenue Funds to reimburse institutions for costs related to debt service However in the 2004ndash05 GAA the legislature changed this practice and only provided General Revenue Fund reimbursements for interest

LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 28

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

on bonds issued after March 31 2003 The 2006ndash07 GAA renewed the practice of reimbursing institutions for the costs related to debt service The 2008ndash09 GAA and 2010-11 GAA continues this practice

Q What Is Proportionality

A Pursuant to Section 608 of Article IX of the 2012ndash13 GAA the legislative intent of proportionality is to ldquomaximize balances in the General Revenue Fundrdquo by harmonizing salary funding source with benefits funding source Th is effectively means the Legislature limits its General Revenue Fund contributions for benefits only to those employees having salaries paid with General Revenue Funds As such proportionality requires employee health and retirement benefits be paid in ldquoproportionrdquo to the funding source of salaries To this end institutions are obligated to submit the Accounting Policy Statement 011 Benefits Proportional by Fund (APS 011) report to the Comptroller Th is document provides a structure by which state and local contributions are ldquosettled uprdquo in light of the fiscal years fund proportionality

Q What Is the National Research University Fund

A In 1995 the Texas Constitution was amended to authorize the creation and funding of the Permanent Higher Education Fund (PHEF) The PHEF was intended eventually to become a permanent endowment to support non-Permanent University Fund eligible institutions However the PHEF corpus was rededicated with the voter passage of Proposition 4 which amended Article 7 of the Texas Constitution by establishing the National Research University Fund (NRUF) In 2009 Proposition 4 transferred the balance of the PHEF to the credit of the NRUF as of January 1 2010 and repealed the constitutional authorization for the PHEF

The NRUF is intended to provide a source of funding to enable emerging research universities in Texas to achieve national prominence as major research universities Article VII of the Texas Constitution authorizes the Legislature to appropriate some or all of the total return on all investment assets of the NRUF for the purposes of the fund except for two caveats (1) the Legislature may not increase distributions from the fund if the purchasing power of investment assets for any rolling 10-year period is not preserved and (2) the amount appropriated from the proceeds of the NRUF corpus in any fiscal year must be capped at 7 percent of the investment assetsrsquo average net fair market value Until the NRUF has been invested long enough to determine its purchasing power over a 10-year period the Legislature is

authorized to use other means of preserving the purchasing power of the fund

House Bill 1000 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 establishes the specific eligibility and distribution criteria for the 2012ndash13 NRUF appropriations To be eligible to receive NRUF appropriations an institution must meet two mandatory criteria and four out of six optional criteria The mandatory criteria are that the institution is designated as an emerging research university within the THECBrsquos Accountability System and that the institution reported at least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the preceding two fiscal years Optional criteria include the following possession of an endowment fund values in excess of $400 million awarding over 200 Doctor of Philosophy degrees per year having an entering freshman class of high academic achievement recognition of institutionrsquos research capability and scholarly attainment possession of a high-quality faculty and possession of high-quality graduate education programs

APPENDIX B TUITION AND FEE PROVISIONS

VTCA Texas Education Code Section 54003 states No institution of higher education may collect from students attending the institution any tuition fee or charge of any kind except as permitted by lawhellip

The laws governing tuition and fees at institutions of higher education are found in Education Code Section 54 including a limited number of rules that relate to tuition and fees charged by junior and community colleges Education Code Section 54 includes statutes regarding statewide tuition and fee authority rules regarding residency for tuition and fee purposes and various exemptions for tuition and fees from nonresidency status Also it includes specific fee authority for individual institutions Figure B1 provides a listing of tuition and fee authorizations in Education Code Section 54 but does not include the items presented below or the various exemption and waiver provisions (Details about each provision can be found at httpwwwcapitolstate txus) Th ere are isolated instances outside Chapter 54 whereby the boards of regents are authorized to charge for specific services provided to students

This appendix highlights some of the more prominent tuition and fee provisions and indicates whether the related revenue is or is not included in the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT Tuition and fee revenue included in the GAA as General Revenue DedicatedndashFunds is referenced as ldquoOther Education and General Incomerdquo The amounts are ldquoEstimatedrdquo so whatever amount of revenue generated is the actual amount available to the institution to spend

54051 Tuition Rates (statutory tuition) In conjunction with Section 540512 Interim Tuition Rates resident tuition for undergraduate students reached $50 per semester credit hour in the 2005ndash06 academic year (the 2006 state fi scal year) Tuition for nonresident students at general academic medical and dental institutions is based on the average of nonresident tuition rates in the five most populous states other than Texas The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board must make this computation each academic year

54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board (also known as board authorized tuition) Applies to graduate programs Subsection (d) specifies that it is not to be used in the GAA as an offset to General Revenue Funds It is distributed across formula strategies after the formula calculation

54501 Laboratory Fees The fee amount must be sufficient to cover the general costs of laboratory materials and supplies used by a student It is not to be less than $2 or more than $30 per semester and it must not exceed the actual cost of materials and supplies

NOT INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT 540513 Designated Tuition Statute defi nes designated tuition as an institutional fund which means the revenue is not considered part of ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo Th e governing board can waive designated tuition for a student (see 54261) Statute specifies that this revenue not be used in the GAA as a way to offset General Revenue

54503 Student Services Fees This is intended for activities which are separate from the regularly scheduled academic functions of the institution and directly involve or benefi t students Except for The University of Texas at Austin (see 54513) and components of the University of Houston System (see 545061) the maximum of all compulsory student services cannot exceed $250 per semester It is kept separate from educational and general funds

54504 Incidental Fees The governing board sets the fee which must reasonably reflect the actual cost of the materials or services for which the fee is collected Examples of unearned fees include late registration library fi nes microfilming fees thesis or doctoral manuscript reproduction or filing fees and bad check charges

5516 Board Responsibility The governing board is authorized to ldquofix and collect rentals rates and chargesrdquo

APPENDIX C GLOSSARY

APPROPRIATION METHODOLOGIES Direct Appropriation The actual appropriation either estimated or sum certain listed in that institutionrsquos portion of the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

Indirect Appropriation An appropriation made on behalf of an institution but not listed in that institutionrsquos portion of the GAA Examples include appropriations to the Available University Fund the Higher Education Fund and the Higher Education Coordinating Board all of which are ultimately allocated to institutions

Estimated Appropriation An estimated appropriation is a figure in the GAA that best reflects the information available about the revenue source but the amount available for an institution to spend is contingent on the amount of revenue actually generated If the actual amount of revenue is less than the estimated amount the institution is limited to the lower amount If more revenue is generated than the estimated amount the institution can spend the higher amount

Sum Certain Appropriation A sum certain appropriation in the GAA means that an institution is limited to spend no more than the level of appropriation noted in the institutionrsquos bill pattern in the GAA

Lump Sum Appropriation Texas Education Code Section 61059(k) calls for flexibility in funds appropriated to higher education institutions A lump sum appropriation is a single amount that is unrestricted which means that it can be used for any variety of strategies The GAA provides an ldquoInformational Listing of Appropriated Fundsrdquo below each institutionrsquos lump sum appropriation Higher education institutions are not required to spend their appropriation within specified strategies One exception to this is the Tuition Revenue Bond strategy which represents the appropriation related to debt service on related bonds and must be spent as appropriated or it is reverted to the treasury

METHODS OF FINANCE General Revenue (GR) The non-dedicated portion of the General Revenue Fund is the statersquos primary operating fund Most state tax revenue many state fees and various other sources of revenue are deposited as non-dedicated General Revenue Funds

General RevenuendashDedicated (GRndashD) This is the dedicated portion of General Revenue Funds For higher education institutions the bulk of General RevenuendashDedicated Fund appropriations consist of tuition and fee revenue generated by the institutions These include the tuition and fee revenue included as ldquoOther Educational and General Incomerdquo (defined below) ldquoboard authorized tuitionrdquo (Texas Education Code Section 54008)

Other Funds State funds not included in General Revenue Funds or General RevenuendashDedicated Funds For institutions of higher education these include the Available University Fund and Patient Income generated by health-related institutions

FUND TYPES Educational and General Income Th e Texas Education Code (51009(c)) definition for ldquoEducational and General Fundsrdquo includes (a) net tuition (b) special course fees charged under Education Code Section 54051(e) and (l) (c) lab fees (d) student teaching fees (e) hospital and clinic fees (f ) organized activity fees and (g) proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment

Institutional Funds Texas Education Code Section 51009(b) defines institutional funds as those that are not ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo An example of an institutional fund is ldquodesignated tuitionrdquo (Texas Education Code Section 540513) These funds are not included in the GAA

Local Funds Texas Education Code Section 51009(a) defines local funds as net tuition certain special course fees lab fees student teaching fees hospital and clinic fees organized activity fees proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment and indirect cost recovery fees Th is revenue is accounted for as ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo and is included in the GAA

Other Educational and General Income The GAA includes some tuition and fees collected by institutions of higher education (General RevenuendashDedicated Funds) Th e revenue from tuition and fees such as statutory tuition (see texas Education Code Section 54051 Tuition Rates) board authorized tuition (see Texas Education Code Section 54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board) Laboratory

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 37

APPENDIX C GLOSSARY

Fees (Texas Education Code Section 54501) and certain other fees are considered Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG) and are appropriated in the GAA as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds Other Educational and General Income is a subset of Educational and General Income (EampG Income)

Patient Income Health-related institutions that operate hospitals or dental clinics generate patient income from services rendered It is allocated as a method of finance to the related institution across a range of strategies in the institutionrsquos bill pattern (Other Funds) For the 2010ndash11 biennium more than $48 billion in patient income was appropriated making it the largest method of fi nance for health-related institutions

OTHER ITEMS Indirect Cost Recovery Institutions negotiate a percentage of a grant with the federal government for Indirect Costs There are a number of factors included in the calculation including building and equipment use allowance operations and maintenance general departmental and sponsored projects administration and library costs

improvements to the Governor the Legislature and institutions THECB reviews and recommends changes in formulas regarding the allocation of state funds to public institutions to limit duplication of academic programs and unnecessary construction projects THECB also promotes access to high quality programs at diff erent institutional levels and oversees the statersquos student financial aid programs

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 appropriated $221 billion in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) for the 2012ndash13 biennium to support Texas higher education a 25 percent decrease from the 2010ndash11 biennium (Figure 1) Figure 2 illustrates the sources of revenue also referred to as methods of finance for the $221 billion in state appropriations Generally only small portions of the Federal Funds received by institutions of higher education are reflected in the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

State funds are allocated to public institutions and agencies of higher education in a number of ways

bull direct appropriations through funding formulas and other direct appropriations based on identifi ed needs

bull indirect appropriations not made directly to an institution in its portion of the appropriations bill but used to cover costs related to the institutionrsquos staff

The $221 billion appropriation includes funds trusteed to THECB for distribution to institutions For the 2012ndash13 biennium THECB received more than $10013 million in trusteed funds The majority of these funds are allocated for student financial assistance Those remaining provide funding for the Baylor College of Medicine incentives for the general academic institutions and the Texas Research Incentive Program

Figure 3 shows the percentage of state funding appropriated to the various types of institutions excluding the allocation for employee insurance and retirement benefi ts

groups of institutions such as general academic institutions and community colleges differ in how the Legislature allocates state appropriations For example all general academic institutions receive funding generated from Instruction and Operations and Infrastructure formulas while community colleges have one formula for Instruction and Administration

While the General Revenue Fundrsquos portion of direct appropriations to institutions is ldquosum certainrdquo the appropriation of Patient Income and Other Educational and General Income (primarily tuition) is ldquoestimatedrdquo Th is means that if patient income or tuition revenue generated by an institution is greater than the amount included in the GAA the institution can spend at a level beyond the amounts in the GAA If an institution generates less tuition revenue it must spend less

The GAA establishes a key distinction for higher education entities differentiating them from other state agencies Statute (Texas Education Code Section 61059(k)) calls for each higher education institution to receive a lump sum appropriation for base funding The GAA expands this concept and provides each higher education institution with one lump sum appropriation For each institution the GAA provides an ldquoInformational Listing of Appropriated Fundsrdquo below each institutionrsquos lump sum appropriation Th is information reflects how the state funds are ldquoallocatedrdquo not how they must be spent Higher education institutions are not bound to spend their appropriation within the specifi ed

strategy as are regular state agencies An exception to this is debt service on tuition revenue bonds Section 6 Rider 9 in the Higher Education Special Provisions GAA page III-233 limits the use of debt service to pay debt service for tuition revenue bonds Any amount of an appropriation not spent must be returned to the General Revenue Fund at the end of the fi scal year

There are some limitations on how institutions can spend appropriated funds The Texas Constitution (Article VII Section 18(i) and 17 (j)) prohibits with limited exceptions the use of General Revenue Funds for construction projects However the Texas Legislature by two-thirds vote in each house may opt to use General Revenue Funds for construction projects if there is a natural disaster or demonstrated need for the project

Also GAA (Section 6 Rider 8b) Special Provisions Relating Only to State Agencies of Higher Education (page III-233) prohibits the use of appropriated funds for auxiliary purposes such as athletics and parking Section 54 of the Special Provisions (page III-246) also restricts the use of funds in the Research Development Strategy to purposes defi ned in Texas Education Code Section 62091 Communityjunior colleges can spend General Revenue Funds only for instruction and administrative costs (Texas Education Code Section 130003(c))

This report presents the different ways that public institutions and agencies allocate state appropriations and highlights the flexibility with which these appropriations may be expended References to appropriated funds are based on the Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 2012ndash13 biennium GAA as adjusted for certain appropriations made in Article IX (General Provisions) of the GAA contingency appropriations other bills making appropriations in fi scal years 2012 and 2013 and Governor vetoes Amounts for fiscal year 2011 have been adjusted for the Supplemental Appropriations Bill House Bill 4 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 and Senate Bill 2 First Called Session 2011 Each category of institutionmdashgeneral academic health-related community and technical colleges and Texas AampM System agenciesmdashis presented separately Th e only THECB funds detailed in this report are funds that have been distributed to public institutions

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

OVERVIEW General academic institutions are listed in the Texas Education Code (61003) Figure 4 lists the institutions and their enrollments All of the institutions have common goals of instruction research and public service however each has a unique set of academic offerings and a unique regional or statewide mission

General academic institutions receive direct appropriations via funding formulas and non-formula appropriations Direct appropriations are identified in the informational strategies of each institutionrsquos bill pattern in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) As mentioned earlier appropriations are made to institutions as a lump sum Th e informational strategies reflect how state funds are ldquoallocatedrdquo not how they must be spent This means that with a few exceptions higher education entities unlike other state agencies are not required to spend appropriations within a specified funding strategy

The appropriation levels in each strategy refl ect diff erent revenue sources such as General Revenue Funds General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (mostly tuition and fee revenue) and Other Funds These revenue sources are referred to as the ldquomethod of fi nancerdquo Figure 5 illustrates the method of finance for $74 billion in appropriations for general academic institutions including a number of the indirect appropriations referenced in the next paragraph but does not include appropriations for employee retirement benefi ts

There are also appropriations that benefit institutions that are not reflected in the bill pattern of individual institutions including the Higher Education Fund the Available National Research University Fund Available University Fund certain employee benefits and funds trusteed to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB)

Figure 6 presents the percentage of funding related to each of these direct and indirect appropriations All of these appropriations are further described in the following pages

In addition general academic institutions have access to funds not reflected in the state appropriations process Examples of this include indirect cost recovery certain tuition and fees such as ldquodesignated tuitionrdquo and ldquoincidental feesrdquo (both are described in Appendix B) auxiliary operations (ie revenue from athletics student services fees bookstore and parking) and grants and gifts

The formula appropriations consist of General Revenue Funds and some Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG) Other EampG includes specific tuition and fee revenue (see Appendix B for a listing of tuition and fee provisions) The inclusion of certain tuition and fee revenue in the formula funding calculation is referred to as an ldquoAll Funds methodologyrdquo to formula funding Th e most significant tuition revenue included in the formula calculation is tuition charged in accordance with Texas Education Code Section 54051 Interim Tuition Rates (referred to as statutory tuition) The statutory tuition rate for the 2012ndash13 academic year is $50 per semester credit hour for Texas residents Th e corresponding tuition rate for a nonresident student is the average nonresident tuition charged to a Texas resident at a public university in each of the five most populous states

Of the $40 billion allocated by the general academic formulas and supplements nearly 728 percent consists of General Revenue Funds with the remainder consisting of General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (Other EampG)

A portion of Other EampG income is set aside for specifi c purposes or allocated to non-formula based strategies in the

institutionrsquos bill pattern For example institutions set aside a portion of their tuition to provide Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) TPEG are grants designed to help students cover their tuition fees and textbook costs when these expenses exceed a certain portion of their familiesrsquo contributions to their educations This set-aside revenue is not part of the tuition and fee revenue used to calculate the funding formulas

INSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS FORMULA

About 815 percent of formula funds flow through the Instruction and Operations Formula ($32716 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) and Teaching Experience Supplement ($957 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) Th e Instruction and Operations formula is calculated as follows

Semester Credit Hours X ProgramLevel Weight X Rate (5371)

Semester credit hours (SCH) are a measurement of how many classes (and the number of students enrolled in those classes) an institution delivers The formula calculation for a biennium uses a ldquobase periodrdquo of SCH The ldquobase periodrdquo used for the 2012ndash13 biennium was the combination of summer 2010 fall 2010 and spring 2011

SCH is weighted by discipline (eg nursing is weighted more than liberal arts) and by level (ie lower and upper division masters doctoral and professional) For instance a lower division liberal arts course receives a weight of 10 A doctoral level liberal arts course receives a weight of 923 A nursing lower division course receives a weight of 203 A doctoral nursing course receives a weight of 925 Beginning with the 2006ndash07 GAA the basis for the weights per discipline was shifted to an aggregation of actual costs based on institutions Annual Financial Reports Currently THECB uses a rolling three year average to adjust the weights each biennium

THECB recommends a rate based on its recommended weights and program enhancements The legislature sets the weights and the rate in the Higher Education Special Provisions of the GAA (page III-238) In practice the legislature has set the rate based on available funding including consideration of enrollment changes and other factors Figure 7 illustrates the Instruction and Operations Formula allocation to institutions

TEACHING EXPERIENCE SUPPLEMENT

For the 2012ndash13 biennium an additional weight of ten percent is added to lower-division and upper-division semester credit hours taught by tenured and tenure-track faculty The 2012ndash13 GAA includes the following language ldquoFurthermore it is the intent of the Legislature that the weight shall increase by 10 percent per biennium up to 50 percentrdquo (Special Provisions Relating Only to State Agencies of Higher Education Sec 28 page III-238 2012ndash13 GAA)

The Teaching Experience Supplement is calculated as follows

Semester Credit Hours X ProgramLevel Weight Supplement (10) X Rate (5371)

The Teaching Experience Supplement was 5 percent during the 1998ndash99 and 2000ndash01 biennia Th e Seventy-seventh Legislature 2001 increased the supplement to the current 10 percent in 2002ndash03 biennium

INFRASTRUCTURE FORMULA

Almost 16 percent of formula funds flow through the Infrastructure Formula and Small Institution Supplement ($6768 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) In addition to

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 7

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

the universities the State Colleges and components of Texas State Technical College also receive infrastructure formula appropriations This formula uses a statewide infrastructure rate which is set in the GAA The statewide infrastructure rate is divided into two rates an Adjusted Utility Rate and an All Other Rate As with the SCH rate the legislature has set the rate based on available funding including consideration of changes in institutional space and other factors

The Infrastructure Formula is calculated as follows

(Adjusted Utility Rate + All Other Rates) X Predicted Square Feet

The Adjusted Utility Rate is 52 percent of the statewide infrastructure rate The 52 percent reflects the percentage of infrastructure formula funds that institutions historically spent on utilities A statewide utility rate is determined and then adjusted for each institution to reflect utility costs relative to other institutions

The All Other Rate is 48 percent of the statewide infrastructure rate and remains constant among institutions It accounts for physical plant grounds maintenance and custodial services

THECBrsquos Space Projection Model for Higher Education Institutions in Texas (space model) estimates square footage for each institution The objective of the space model projection is to calculate the amount of space an institution needs based on the following

bull number program and level of semester credit hours

bull number of faculty non-faculty students programs and library holdings and

bull research and current EampG expenditures

Figure 8 illustrates the Infrastructure Formula allocation to institutions The similarity of the allocation to the Instruction and Operations Formula allocation demonstrates the influence of enrollment on both formula allocations

SMALL INSTITUTION SUPPLEMENT

Prior to the Eighty-fi rst Legislature (2009) general academic institutions with enrollments of less than 5000 received a $750000 annual Small Institution Supplement However the Eighty-first Legislature increased the enrollment threshold to 10000 students and implemented a phase-out

NON-FORMULA FUNDING

SPECIAL ITEMS

Special Item appropriations to the institutions total $4836 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium In 2012ndash13 $69 million was appropriated to system offices for special items These are direct appropriations to institutions for projects that are not funded by formula but are specifi cally identifi ed by the legislature as needing support An institution is not required to spend the amount identified in a Special Item strategy for that particular project but expenditure reports indicate that institutions often use an entire appropriation along with additional funding for the related project

The majority of special item funding is through the Institutional Enhancement strategy Institutional Enhancement is a $2204 million appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium This is a direct appropriation to institutions and was established by the Seventy-sixth Legislature 1999 for the 2000ndash01 biennium Th e fi rst Institutional Enhancement appropriation was based on a consolidation of certain Special Item appropriations in 1999 and an additional $1 million per year was appropriated for each institution Examples of consolidated special items are items that could be funded through the formulas such as general institutional academic and research support

For the 2002ndash03 biennium there was an additional $1 million increase in appropriations for most institutions and a $15 million increase for selected institutions in South Texas and the border region Institutions that benefi ted signifi cantly from the Seventy-seventh Legislaturersquos new University Research and Texas Excellence Funds (House Bill 1839 Seventy-seventh Legislature 2001) or from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) ldquoexcellence fundingrdquo did not receive an increase in Institutional Enhancement funds for the 2002ndash03 biennium

Other Special Items total $2632 million in appropriations for the 2012ndash13 biennium and include the following institutional and instructional support public service items research items other than general research support funding for separate campuses and accreditation program items

TEXAS COMPETITIVE KNOWLEDGE FUND

The Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund (TCKF) is authorized by the General Appropriations Act (GAA) (2012ndash13 Biennium) Article III Higher Education Special Provisions Section 56 The GAA prescribes that this funding will be used to support faculty for the purpose of instructional excellence and research Funding was first allocated in these strategies by the Legislature for the 2008ndash09 biennium

Current institutions receiving TCKF appropriations include The University of Texas at Austin Texas AampM University University of Houston Texas Tech University and Th e University of Texas at Dallas Institutions are allocated funding appropriated to the TCKF based on average research expenditures for the previous three-year period Th e Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 appropriated $935 million in Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund strategies directly to the institutions This funding level provides approximately $07 million to each institution for every $100 million in research expenditures In practice

RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT FUND

The Research Development Fund was created by House Bill 3526 Seventy-eighth Legislature Regular Session 2003 and replaced the Texas Excellence and University Research Funds effective September 1 2005 The intent was to combine the Texas Excellence Fund and University Research Fund into a new fund applying a uniform allocation methodology based on a three-year average of each institutionrsquos restricted research expenditures Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature allocated $653 million (Figure 10) in the 2012ndash13 biennium to individual institutions to fund objectives identical to the Research Development Fund (Section 62091)

TEXAS RESEARCH INCENTIVE PROGRAM

Th e Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009 established the Texas Research Incentive Program (TRIP) at THECB to match state appropriations with certain gifts and endowments received by emerging research universities Th e goal of this $178 million a year program is to create more Tier One universities in Texas

PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE INITIATIVE

The Eightieth Legislature 2007 appropriated $100 million in fiscal year 2009 to THECB to establish a Higher Education Performance Incentive Initiative The funding was for ldquoimprovement in teaching and educational excellence at Texas public general academic institutionsrdquo THECB distributed $80 million for increases in degrees awarded with special weights given to critical fields and at-risk students The remaining $20 million was used to fund scholarships for students graduating in the top 10 percent of their high school class

Th e Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009 maintained the $80 million for the higher education performance incentive initiative (funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) and increased funding for the Top Ten Percent scholarship program by $34 million bringing total appropriations for the program to $54 million

There were no performance funding incentives for the 2012ndash13 biennium For the 2012ndash13 biennium $396

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 provided $444 million in General Revenue Funds hold harmless funding for aff ected institutions to minimize the effect of reduced formula and special item funding Decreases in formula funding could be caused by declining enrollment a shift from upper level or graduate semester credit hours to lower level hours a much smaller increase in enrollment that other institutions or a change in utility costs

CAPITAL FUNDS

In addition to the constitutional funds discussed in the next subsection there are three types of state appropriation for capital funds tuition revenue bonds Skiles Act revenue bonds and lease payments Almost all of the direct appropriations to institutions related to capital funds are for debt service on tuition revenue bonds

A $5931 million General Revenue Funds appropriation was made for tuition revenue bond debt service for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Tuition revenue bonds must be authorized in statute Once an authorization is made institutions issue bonds and make related debt payments with tuition revenue Th e Texas Public Finance Authority issues tuition revenue bonds for Midwestern State University Stephen F Austin University Texas Southern University and the Texas State Technical Colleges Legislative practice has been to use General Revenue Funds to reimburse institutions for the costs related to this debt service

The legislature first authorized tuition revenue bonds in 1971 In some instances the authorization was a lump sum for the benefit of specific institutions During the Seventy-eighth Legislature 2003 $2689 million in tuition revenue bonds was authorized for specific projects at various higher education institutions The Seventy-ninth Legislature Th ird Called Session 2005 adopted House Bill 153 which authorized the issuance of $1858 billion in tuition revenue bonds for forty-four different institutions Only one tuition revenue bond (House Bill 1775) was adopted by the Eightieth Legislature 2007 for a $13 million nursing building at Stephen F Austin University Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature 2009 authorized one tuition revenue bond for Texas AampM University at Galveston The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not authorize any new tuition revenue bonds

The authority for Skiles Act Revenue Bonds was repealed in 1997 It had allowed institutions to pledge up to $5 from each enrolled student for each regular semester to the payment of bonds authorized under the governing boardrsquos general authority to sell revenue bonds Institutions use their Other Educational and General Income (General Revenuendash Dedicated Funds) to pay the debt service on these previously authorized bonds This is a $10 million appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Three general academic institutions receive a $3 million General Revenue Fund appropriation for lease payments to community colleges for facilities

CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

These funds are appropriated separately in the GAA and not directly appropriated to the institutions (see Appendix D)

The Available University Fund (AUF) established in Section 18 Article VII Texas Constitution consists of the surface income and investment proceeds from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) a state endowment with land grants totaling 21 million acres

Distributions to the AUF consist of investment returns from PUF assets surface income from PUF lands and interest earned on AUF balances For the 2012ndash13 biennium investment returns were $12200 million surface income was $398 million and interest income was $59 million Income from the sale of PUF lands and the lease of mineral interest is retained in the PUF and invested

The total 2012ndash13 estimated appropriation for the AUF is $12660 million The Constitution appropriates two-thirds of the AUF to The University of Texas System and one-third to the Texas AampM University System The two systems may use the AUF for capital purposes (debt service on PUF bonds) for most of their institutions and ldquofor the support and maintenancerdquo of other institutions listed Entities authorized to receive funding for ldquosupport and maintenancerdquo which is now commonly referred to as ldquoAUF Excellence Fundingrdquo are the two system offi ces The University of Texas at Austin Texas AampM University and Prairie View AampM University The systemsrsquo boards of regents determine allocations to individual institutions including health-related institutions and the amounts for ldquoExcellencerdquo Figure 11 lists the recipients and the type of support they received

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

The HEF is supported by General Revenue Fund appropriations

The distribution of the $525 million HEF appropriation for 2012ndash13 is provided for in statute (Texas Education Code Section 62021) The Constitution calls for a re-allocation of HEF funds every ten years The Seventy-ninth Legislature Regular Session fulfilled this requirement with the enactment of House Bill 3001

The Constitution also allows the legislature to adjust the decennial allocations every five years Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature Regular Session 2011 exercised this authority by enacting House Bill 51 which adjusted the formula allocation for the HEF funds for fiscal years 2009 through 2015

To maintain the equitable distribution of the HEF appropriation House Bill 51 also corrected the distribution of fiscal year 2009 and 2010 HEF allocations by using revised formula calculations Using these revised formula calculations House Bill 51 factored in updated data elements to generate the annual HEF allocations for the fi ve-year period starting in fiscal year 2011

HEF funds must be used for capital purposes Institutions may use HEF allocations for debt service on HEF bonds or as cash

In 1995 the Texas Constitution was amended to authorize the creation and funding of a dedicated HEF corpus known as the Permanent Higher Education Fund (PHEF) Th is corpus was separate from the annual HEF allocation of General Revenue Funds The PHEF was intended to become a permanent endowment to support non-PUF eligible institutions but never reached its targeted value of $2 billion

The PHEF corpus of $5159 million was rededicated with the enactment of Proposition 4 which amended Article 7 of the Texas Constitution by establishing the National Research University Fund (NRUF) The balance of the PHEF was transferred to the NRUF on January 1 2010 and the authorization for the PHEF expired Proposition 4 also allowed the legislature to appropriate some or all of the total returns from the NRUF to provide a source of funding to enable emerging research universities to achieve national prominence

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 appropriated $124 million in estimated NRUF proceeds to eligible institutions in the 2012ndash13 biennium

House Bill 1000 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 established the specific eligibility and distribution criteria for the 2012ndash13 NRUF appropriations To be eligible to receive NRUF appropriations an institution must meet two mandatory criteria and four out of six optional criteria The mandatory criteria are that the institution in designated as an emerging research university within the Higher Education Coordinating Boardrsquos Accountability System and that the institution reported at least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the preceding two fi scal years Optional criteria include the following possession of an endowment fund values in excess of $400 million awarding over 200 Doctor of Philosophy degrees per year having an entering freshman class of high academic achievement recognition of the institutions research capability and scholarly attainment possession of a high-quality faculty and possession of high-quality graduate education programs Texas Tech University and the University of Houston are the only two institutions that received funding through this program in 2012

HIGHER EDUCATION GROUP INSURANCE (HEGI)

The $4631 million General Revenue Fund appropriation for higher education group insurance (HEGI) is not a direct appropriation in the institutionsrsquo bill patterns It is appropriated in a separate section of the GAA entitled ldquoHigher Education Employees Group Insurance Contributionsrdquo This appropriation is intended to help institutions cover the cost of health insurance premiums for institution employees whose salaries are paid from the General Revenue Fund Because The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own health insurance programs they each receive separate appropriations The remaining institutions are included in the program operated by the Employees Retirement System (ERS)

The HEGI appropriation is sum-certain That is the Statersquos General Revenue Fund contributions are limited to each institutionrsquos number of employees enrolled in the health insurance program as of December 1 2012 However the GAA allows ERS The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems to transfer HEGI appropriations among institutions within their respective group insurance programs to address shortfalls in General Revenue Funds related to group insurance premiums

SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS

An appropriation for social security is included in the GAA at the end of Article III It is an estimated General Revenue

RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS

Appropriations for retirement contributions are included under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) bill patterns Some higher education employees primarily faculty and top administrators are eligible for ORP a defi ned contribution plan similar to a 401k Other higher education employees participate in TRS a defi ned benefit plan The state funds retirement contributions for TRS equal to 60 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal year 2012 and 64 percent in 2013 State contributions for ORP are equal to 60 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal years 2012 and 2013 (Th ese appropriation amounts are not included in Figure 3 on page 2)

OTHER NON-FORMULA FUNDING

WORKERSrsquo COMPENSATION

Changes in the structure of the statewide workersrsquo compensation system resulted in most institutions receiving General Revenue Fund appropriations for Workersrsquo Compensation starting in 2006ndash07 However Th e University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own workersrsquo compensation pools while all other institutions are part of the State Office of Risk Managementrsquos workersrsquo compensation pool

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

Most components of The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems have this strategy because they operate their own risk pools Th ese institutions receive General Revenue Fund appropriations for unemployment compensation insurance The appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium is $05 million in General Revenue Funds Th e Texas Workforce Commission receives an appropriation to

cover unemployment benefi ts for former state employees for all other higher education institutions

TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANTS

According to statute (Texas Education Code Chapter 56 Subchapter C and Texas Education Code Section 54051 [Statutory Tuition]) institutions must set aside a portion of tuition revenue for Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) Fifteen percent of each resident studentrsquos tuition and 3 percent of each nonresident studentrsquos tuition are set aside for financial aid to students at the institution Texas Education Code Section 56033 provides guidelines on the allocation of TPEG revenue The GAA includes an estimate of the amount of TPEG revenue each institution will generate Th is $2111 million estimated appropriation is considered Other Educational and General Income which are classifi ed as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY

Indirect costs as defined by The Comptroller of Public Accounts are ldquoincurred for a common or joint purpose benefiting more than one cost objectiverdquo Institutions negotiate a percentage of a federal grant for indirect costs There are a number of factors included in the calculation including building and equipment use allowance operations and maintenance general departmental and sponsored projects administration and library costs

The Seventy-eighth Legislature 2003 allowed universities to retain 100 percent of indirect costs income from research grants and contracts to encourage further research projects conducted by universities

Like other higher education institutions the appropriations for health-related institutions are a lump sum and funding strategies are presented for informational purposes in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) The funding strategies in a health-related institutionrsquos bill pattern represent how state funds are allocated but not how they must be spent Also certain methods of finance in the appropriation are estimated This means that if for example patient income for an institution is above the amount included in the GAA

the institution can spend more than the amount listed in the GAA

Also health-related institutions have access to an estimated $109 billion outside the appropriations process in 2012ndash13 Examples of this include certain tuition revenue indirect lost recovery grants and gifts

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

General Revenue funding and some Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated) fund the formulas Like general academic institutions certain tuition revenue is used in the calculation of the Instruction and Operation support and Infrastructure support formulas Of the $15 billion that is allocated by the health-related institutionsrsquo primary formulas 939 percent is from the General Revenue Fund and the remaining 61 percent is from General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (tuition and fee revenue)

Some tuition and fee income is set aside for specifi c purposes Some specific amounts are unavailable for formula purposes and consequently are not a formula method of fi nance For example health-related institutions set aside a portion of their tuition to provide Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) and Medical Loans

INSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS SUPPORT FORMULA

The Instruction and Operations (IampO) support formula represents nearly 755 percent of the primary formula funds for health-related institutions ($9282 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) It is intended to fund items such as faculty salaries departmental operating expenses instructional administration and libraries It is allocated on a per full-time student equivalent (FTSE) basis with a funding weight predicated on the instructional program of the student This formula applies to all health-related

institutions except The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler which did not offer education instruction during the base period for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Figure 15 illustrates the Instruction and Operations support formula among the eight health-related institutions

The Instruction and Operations support formula is calculated as follows

(FTSE X Program Weight X $8874) + SmallMultiple Campus Supplement

FTSE is weighted by discipline For example medicine (4753) is weighted more than pharmacy (1670) Allied Health is assigned a weight of 1000

The Legislature sets the weights and the rate ($8874 adjusted for the 2012ndash13 biennium) in the Higher Education Special Provisions of the GAA (Sec 29 page III-239 and 240) The rate is calculated based on the available revenue for the formula and the number of FTSEs

Programs with enrollments less than 200 receive a Small Campus Supplement (see Figure 16)

INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT FORMULA

The Infrastructure support formula is 194 percent of the primary formula funding and is intended for utilities and physical plant support ($2383 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) This formula calculation is similar to that for general academic institutions but includes only one rate ($655) for all institutions except The University of Texas

THECBrsquos space model predicts square footage for each institution The space model projection is based on the following

bull number and level of FTE students

bull number of faculty

bull single or multiple programs and campuses

bull actual clinical space and

bull research and current EampG expenditures

Because the space projection model does not account for hospital space separate infrastructure funding for hospital space is included in the total funding for hospital and patient-care activities at The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

RESEARCH FORMULA

Health-related institutions generate state appropriations to support research through General Revenue Funds in the Research Enhancement formula ($629 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) The Research Enhancement formula accounts for 51 percent of the primary formula funds and is funded entirely from the General Revenue Fund

The allocation is based on the amount of research generated by each institution

$1412500 + (110 X Research

Expenditures)

This provides a base Institutions report for all institutions current research

regardless of research expenditures to volume THECB

Figure 18 illustrates the Research Enhancement formula allocation to the institutions among the nine health-related institutions

GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION

The Seventy-ninth Legislature 2005 established a new formula for funding graduate medical education in the 2006ndash07 GAA For 2012ndash13 the funding totals $46 million

(an additional $109 million is appropriated to the Baylor College of Medicine through the THECB) and provides $4436 per medical resident each year

Figure 19 illustrates the Graduate Medical Education formula allocation to institutions among the nine health related institutions and Baylor College of Medicine

CHEST DISEASE CENTER FORMULA

The Chest Disease Center operations formula which was established during the 2010ndash11 biennium applies only to The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler Th e University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler has a statutory mission to conduct research develop diagnostic and treatment techniques provide training and teaching programs and provide diagnosis and treatment of inpatients and outpatients with respiratory diseases The Chest Disease Center formula is based on the number of primary chest disease patients the institution served Approximately $472 million in General Revenue Funds are appropriated for the 2012ndash13 biennium

CANCER CENTER OPERATIONS FORMULA

The Eightieth Legislature 2007 established in the GAA an Operations formula for funding The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has a statutory mission to eliminate cancer through patient care research education

and prevention The Operations formula funding is based on the total number of Texas cancer patients the institution served The Operations formula growth in funding may not exceed the average growth in funding for health-related institutions in the Instruction and Operations support formula for the current biennium For the 2012ndash13 biennium this funding formula provided $2125 million in General Revenue Funds

NON-FORMULA FUNDING

PATIENT CARE ACTIVITIES

Some institutions conduct patient care activities generally medical or dental For the 2012ndash13 biennium the estimated appropriation for Patient Income was $56 billion Th e hospital and clinic revenues earned through patient care activities are considered Other Funds which are part of Educational and General Income (not to be confused with Other Educational and General Income which is another subset of Educational and General Income) General Revenue funding supplements patient-care income to varying degrees at each institution Patient Income is an estimated appropriation and is spread across an institutionrsquos funding strategies however it is not used in the calculation of the formulas

INSTITUTIONAL ENHANCEMENT

Institutional Enhancement is a General Revenue Fund appropriation that started in the 2000ndash01 biennium It is designed to allow each institution to address its unique needs and diseconomies of scale at institutions with smaller campuses The total institutional enhancement appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium was $42 million which includes $407 million in General Revenue Funds and $16 million in Patient Income

SPECIAL ITEMS

Special items are activities that are not generally funded through the formulas and typically represent an institutionrsquos special needs or areas of expertise The $3107 million in General Revenue Funds for the 2012ndash13 biennium funds items such as residency programs academic outreach programs public service items and research items other than general research support Institutions propose and justify special items and request an amount for each on an ad hoc basis Special items generally remain constant from biennium to biennium unless the item was a one-time expense (eg tornado damage repairs) or the institution has not used the funding for the intended purpose

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

These funds are not directly appropriated to institutions in the GAA In other words these funds are not found in a strategy within an institutionrsquos bill pattern

Health-related institutions are eligible for funding from the Available University Fund ($146 million in Other Funds allocated to these institutions by system offices for the 2012ndash 13 biennium) and the Higher Education Fund ($257 million in General Revenue Funds appropriated for the 2012ndash13 biennium) which are presented in detail in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section of this report

CAPITAL FUNDS

Just like general academic institutions tuition revenue bonds ($1665 million in General Revenue Funds for related debt service in the 2012ndash13 biennium) are also used to fund capital projects at health-related institutions A detailed presentation of tuition revenue bonds is in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center also have separate appropriations for capital projects that are funded primarily with Patient Income

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Like general academic institutions health-related institutions benefit from direct and indirect state appropriations related to employee benefi ts The indirect appropriations include Higher Education Group Insurance ($2339 million in General Revenue Funds for the 2012ndash13 biennium) Retirement Contributions and Social Security Benefi ts (all presented in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section) The direct appropriations include Staff Group Insurance

For the 2012ndash13 biennium the Workersrsquo Compensation and Unemployment Compensation strategies (all presented in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section) are funded directly with General Revenue Funds and General RevenuendashDedicated Funds However The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own workersrsquo compensation pools while all other institutions are part of the State Office of Risk Managementrsquos workersrsquo compensation pool The University of Texas and Texas AampM Systems also manage their own unemployment compensation coverage while all other institutions receive coverage from

the Texas Workforce Commission which receives an appropriation to cover unemployment benefi ts

TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANTS

Health-related institutions similar to general academic institutions are subject to the Texas Education Code (sect56031 et al) provision requiring a portion of tuition revenue be set aside to fund Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) For the 2012ndash13 biennium the estimated TPEG appropriation is $188 million This revenue is considered Other Education and General Income which is classifi ed as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY

As mentioned earlier in this section Indirect Cost Recovery was removed from the GAA for the 2010ndash11 biennium however the individual institution still receives the funds

TOBACCO SETTLEMENT

House Bill 1945 Seventy-sixth Legislature 1999 established the Permanent Health Fund for health-related institutions of Higher Education the Permanent Fund for Minority Health Research and Education the Permanent Fund for Higher Education Nursing Allied Health and Other Health Related Programs and 13 permanent endowments for individual institutions of higher education The $769 million in estimated interest earnings from the endowments for 2012ndash13 (based on estimated interest earnings of 45 percent each year) were appropriated to the health-related institutions

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

OVERVIEW Public two-year lower-level institutions include 50 community and junior college districts four Texas State Technical College (TSTC) campuses and three Lamar State Colleges These institutions were appropriated $22 billion in state funding for the 2012ndash13 biennium Preliminary fall FIGURE 20 TWO-YEAR INSTITUTION FUNDING MECHANISMS 2012ndash13 BIENNIUM

2011 enrollment at these institutions totaled 789713 Figure 20 illustrates the funding mechanisms for these institutions Community colleges accounted for 983 percent of this enrollment total while the Texas State Technical and Lamar State Colleges composed the remaining portion

COMMUNITY COLLEGES

Instruction and Administration General Revenue Funds from the state are based on contact hour driven formulas for two-year institutions Tuition and fee revenues and local tax revenues augment state General Revenue Funds for these costs

Academic Courses Approximately 82 percent of the total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are academic courses

Technical Courses Approximately 18 percent of the total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are vocationaltechnical courses

Physical Plant The state provides no funding for physical plant operations and maintenance Local taxing districts are expected to provide support for physical plant needs Community colleges are projected to receive approximately $12 billion in tax income in fiscal year 2011

Facilities Local communities must provide facilities Community colleges are not eligible to receive Higher Education Fund (HEF) allocations Available University Fund allocations or state tuition revenue bonds

Employee Benefits While community college employees are locally-employed community colleges participate in the Employee Retirement System (ERS) Group Benefits Program for health benefi ts and the Teacher Retirement System(TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) for retirement benefits The state makes General Revenue Fund contributions for the health and retirement benefits

Tuition Fee Revenues Tuition and fee revenues are considered institutional funds and are not appropriated by the state Tuition rates vary by institution In 2012 the statewide tuition rates plus fees averaged $73 per semester credit hour but varied from $34 to $208 per semester credit hour

Local Tax Revenue Community Colleges are projected to receive approximately $12 billion in tax income in fiscal year 2011 Local tax revenues are expected to provide support for physical plant needs and augment state General Revenue Funds for instruction and administration costs

TSTCLAMAR COLLEGES

Instruction and Administration General Revenue Funds from the state are based on formulas for two-year institutions Tuition and fee revenues augment General Revenue Funds for these costs

Academic Courses Approximately 39 percent at the Lamar colleges and 28 percent at Texas State Technical College (TSTC) of total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are academic courses

Technical Courses Approximately 61 percent at the Lamar colleges and 72 percent at TSTC of total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are vocationaltechnical courses

Physical Plant State funding based on the formula for general academic institutions The Lamar colleges will receive approximately $71 million and TSTC will receive $157 million in General Revenue Funds for physical plant and utilities in the 2012ndash13 biennium

Facilities The Lamar colleges receive approximately $42 million annually from HEF funds and TSTC receives almost $58 million annually The HEF monies are used to acquire land construct and equip buildings provide major building repair or rehabilitation and acquire capital equipment and library materials

Employee Benefits Both the Lamar colleges and TSTC institutions participate in ERSrsquo Group Benefits Program for health benefits and the TRS and ORP programs for retirement benefits The state makes General Revenue Fund contributions for the health and retirement benefits of those employees having their salaries paid with General Revenue Funds

Tuition Fee Revenues Certain tuition revenue is appropriated by the state In 2012 for resident students average tuition plus fees was $139 per semester credit hour at the Lamar colleges and $150 per semester credit hour at TSTC

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 21

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

These institutions are primarily funded based on student contact hours A contact hour is a standard unit of measure that represents an hour of scheduled academic and technical instruction given to students during a semester Community and junior college districts generate almost 958 percent of the state-funded contact hours at two-year institutions TSTC components generate approximately 29 percent of the contact hours and the three Lamar State Colleges account for the 13 percent

COMMUNITY COLLEGES Over 99 percent of the direct appropriations to community colleges are from the General Revenue Fund and are generated through a funding formula The remaining direct appropriations are for isolated ldquospecial itemsrdquo including appropriations for the Southwest Collegiate Institute for the Deaf which is part of the appropriation for Howard College The Texas Education Code Section 130003(a) calls for state appropriations to public community colleges to ldquosupplement local funds for the proper support maintenance operation and improvement of those public junior colleges of Texas that meet the standards prescribed by the chapterrdquo Further Education Code Section 130003(c) indicates that state funds must be used ldquoexclusively for the purpose of paying salaries of instructional and administrative forceshellip and the purchase of supplies and materials for instructional purposesrdquo

Consistent with statute community colleges have their own Instruction and Administration Formula which is funded by General Revenue Funds and based on ldquostudent contact hoursrdquo Unlike general academic institution formulas this formula does not include tuition and fee revenue as part of the method of fi nance

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 also provided $45 million to certain districts through a new small institution supplemental formula A district is eligible for the supplement if it makes a significantly above-average effort to generate tax income while at the same time experiencing below-average tax revenue and does not have a number of contact hours that exceeds the statewide median Th e Eighty-second Legislature appropriated each eligible district $05 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium

No state funding is provided for physical plant operations and maintenance or for facilities that is supported by local tax eff ort

Three community colleges receive weighted semester credit hour formula funding for a Bachelor of Applied Technology degree program

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

Th e Eighty-first Legislature 2009 provided $153 million in General Revenue formula hold harmless funding for aff ected community colleges to minimize the effect of reduced formula funding as a result of overall contact hour declines The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not provide any hold harmless funding in the 2012ndash13 biennium

Property taxes tuition and fees are other major sources of revenue for community colleges Figure 21 illustrates the estimated sources of funding for community colleges Th e state appropriations in Figure 21 include all formula special item Higher Education Group Insurance appropriations and retirement benefi t appropriations

FORMULA FUNDING

The basis of the formula starts with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) Report of Fundable Operating Expenses (RFOE) (formally called the All Funds Expenditure Report) The study includes all expenditures for instruction and administration (facilities costs are not included) in 26 program areas THECB uses the expenditure data to determine the median cost in the 26 program areasmdashthe ldquoratesrdquo for contact hours in those disciplines THECB then makes a recommendation for

LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 22

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

funding based on the rates Over the years THECB has used various methodologies as the basis for its funding recommendations Because the RFOE takes into account all funds (state appropriations plus tuition and tax revenue which are not appropriated) THECBrsquos recommendation for state funding has generally not equaled 100 percent of the rates

The amount of the appropriation is a legislative decision based on funds available The appropriation is allocated to the colleges according to each districtrsquos pro-rata share of THECB recommendations

HIGHER EDUCATION GROUP INSURANCE (HEGI)

Like state institutions of higher education community colleges receive General Revenue Fund contributions for group insurance However since community college employees are local not state employees state contributions for health benefits are fully discretionary Other agencies and institutions of higher education report employee eligibility for General Revenue-funded group health insurance benefi ts only if the employeersquos salary is directly paid with General Revenue Funds However in the past community colleges tended to base eligibility for General Revenue-funded benefits if the employeersquos job function fell under an approved ldquoelement of costrdquo This practice caused community colleges to report eligibility for state funded health benefits in a manner that did not always match the source of the employeersquos salary

This practice led to the Governorrsquos veto of the Group Health Insurance appropriation for fiscal year 2009 ($154 million) at the end of the Eightieth Legislative session However an agreement to restore the vetoed funds was reached and returned directly to the districts in House Bill 4586 Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009

The Eight-Second Legislature 2011 allowed community colleges to receive General Revenue Fund contributions for employees whose job function fell under an approved ldquoelement of costrdquo However the Legislature only funded 42 percent of the premium costs for these employees

OTHER STAFF BENEFITS

Appropriations for retirement contributions are included under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) bill patterns Some higher education employees primarily faculty and certain administrators are eligible for ORP a defi ned contribution plan similar to a 401k Other higher education employees

participate in TRS a defi ned benefit plan In both instances the state funds retirement contributions equal 60 and 64 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal year 2012 and fi scal year 2013 respectively (These appropriation amounts are not included in Figure 2 on page 3)

DRAMATIC ENROLLMENT GROWTH

Since the 1996ndash97 biennium public community colleges have received ldquoDramatic Enrollment Growth Fundingrdquo For the 2000ndash01 biennium this was expanded to include Texas State Technical Colleges and Lamar State Colleges (Lamars) The appropriation was made to THECB Rider 13 page IIIshy53 General Appropriations Act (2010ndash11 Biennium) provided guidelines for distributing this funding

For the 2010ndash11 biennium THECB is authorized to allocate up to $175 million per year to schools experiencing a growth rate of five percent or greater in 2010 and eight percent or greater in 2011 The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not provide any dramatic enrollment growth funding in the 2012-13 biennium

OTHER TRUSTEED FUNDS

Students at community colleges also benefi t from Texas Educational Opportunity Grants the student fi nancial aid program appropriation that is allocated by THECB

TEXAS STATE TECHNICAL COLLEGE LAMAR STATE COLLEGES The Texas State Technical Colleges (TSTC) and Lamar State Colleges are allocated a majority of their appropriation via two formulas the Instruction and Administration Formula for two-year institutions and the Infrastructure Formula for general academic institutions Similar to general academic institutions the tuition revenue for these colleges is included in the appropriations bill

Contact hours for vocationaltechnical courses represent approximately 61 percent of total contact hours at the Lamar State Colleges and 72 percent at TSTC institutions Th e remaining contact hours are generated from academic and continuing education courses

Facilities funding is available from the Higher Education Fund for both TSTC and the Lamars State Colleges and both have received Tuition Revenue Bond authorizations

STATUTORY AUTHORITY MISSIONFUNCTIONS

For the 2012ndash13 biennium the total direct appropriations for Texas AampM System (System) agencies are $8897 million In addition to state appropriations the System agencies receive some Federal Funds that are not included in the General Appropriations Act and have access to private funds While System agencies have significant portions of their Other Funds and Federal Funds appropriated the appropriations are estimated and actual income from these funding sources is subject to signifi cant variation

FUNDING TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES

FIGURE 23 TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES COMPARED TO INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION

SIMILARITIES

FUNDING

Both Texas AampM System (System) agencies and institutions of higher education have considerable flexibility in their budgeting and financial operations (ldquolump sumrdquo appropriations)

Both are eligible to receive proceeds from the Permanent University Fund

Both are considered to be institutions of higher education for purposes of employee group health insurance

Both System agencies and institutions of higher education generate and keep 100 percent of indirect cost recovery from research and other grants

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

OPERATIONS

Like other institutions of higher education System agencies are not required to submit operating budgets or strategic plans

Both are statutorily embedded within the Texas AampM Systemrsquos institutional framework

SOURCE Legislative Budget Board

DIFFERENCES

General academic health-related and two-year institutions receive formula funding while System agencies do not

Texas AampM System agencies do not generate revenue in the same manner or amount of other higher education institutions

Performance measures for the System agencies are agency-specific while performance measures for other higher education institutions are standardized

In several ways state funding for System agencies is similar to funding for higher education institutions System agencies have considerable flexibility in their budgeting and fi nancial operations because they receive lump-sum appropriations in the same manner as other institutions of higher education They are eligible to receive funds from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) (They were allocated $153 million from the PUF for debt service in the 2012ndash13 biennium) System agencies are also funded in the same manner as other institutions of higher education with regard to staff benefi ts including employee group health insurance contributions

However there are several funding diff erences between System agencies and other higher education institutions Most significantly System agencies do not receive formula-based funding Also while some System agencies may charge fees for their services they do not generate tuition and fees in the same manner or quantity as other institutions of higher education

As is the case with all institutions the System agencies keep 100 percent of their respective indirect cost recovery income

because this income is derived from earnings on federal grants and is held outside the treasury

For the 2012ndash13 biennium funding associated with infrastructure expenses and utilities for System agencies inside Brazos County is equal to the infrastructure rate (as determined by the General Academic formulas on page 6) for Texas AampM University

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q What are the limitations on how institutions spend state appropriations

A Generally speaking institutions have great fl exibility in spending appropriated funds however some limitations do exist depending on the source of revenue Appropriated revenue includes General Revenue Funds General Revenuendash Dedicated Funds (mostly tuition and fee income) Other Funds (including Patient Income) and Federal Funds (for certain Texas AampM System Agencies) Th e Texas Constitution (Article VII Section 18(i) and 17(j)) prohibits with limited exceptions the use of General Revenue Funds for acquiring land or for construction projects An exception occurs when the legislature by two-thirds vote in each house expressly determines that there is a demonstrated need for the project

Various provisions in the 2012ndash13 General Appropriations Act (GAA) Higher Education Special Provisions restrict state appropriations These restrictions include the following

bull Section 6 (Rider 8b) which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for auxiliary enterprises

bull Section 6 (Rider 9) which limits the use of these funds to pay debt service for statutorily authorized tuition revenue bonds Any such appropriation not spent must be returned to the General Revenue Fund at the end of the year

bull Section 9 which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for intercollegiate athletics purposes and

bull Section 54 which limits the use of the Research Development Fund to those defined in Education Code Section 62091

Q Would an increase in tuition revenue replace a corresponding amount in General Revenue Funds or would the revenue remain within the institution

A The result depends on how the Legislature responds

For instance assume that the Eight-second Legislature 2011 changed the statute to require institutions to charge nonresident tuition in circumstances where they had previously waived the nonresident tuition rate For the 2012ndash13 biennium institutions would benefit fully from the

increase in tuition revenue (This assumes the formula calculation would not include a projected increase in tuition)

However institutional appropriations in the 2014ndash15 biennium now depend on that legislation passed in the Eighty-third Legislature 2013 Assuming the same number of students (semester credit hours) enroll regardless of changes in tuition policy and that the result of charging nonresident tuition generated $100 million in additional tuition revenue there are three options

1 Reduce General Revenue Funds (GR) in the formulas by $100 million In this scenario the formula rate stays the same and every dollar increase in tuition revenue results in a dollar decrease in GRmdashinstitutional funding does not increase

2 Keep GR the same and run the additional tuition revenue through the formulas Th e formula funding rate would increase and every institution would receive more funds including those institutions that generated no additional tuition revenue

3 Keep GR formula appropriations at the same level and let individual institutions keep the additional tuition revenue they generated outside the formula allocation

Q Are all tuition and fee revenues collected by institutions of higher education included in the appropriations bill

A No None of the tuition and fee revenues collected by community colleges are appropriated

For general academic institutions an estimate of the revenue from certain tuitions and fees such as statutory tuition (Education Code 54051 Tuition Rates) board authorized tuition (Education Code 54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board) Laboratory Fees (Education Code 54501) and certain other fees are appropriated in the GAA as General Revenue FundsndashDedicated Estimated Other Educational and General Income There are a number of other tuitions and fees that are not included in the GAA and therefore not referred to as state funding Such tuitions and fees include but are not limited to designated tuition (Education Code 540513 Redesignation of Building Use Fee) and Incidental Fees (Education Code 54504) Federal

Funds are also not appropriated to the general academic and health-related institutions

Q Is a decrease in enrollment the only reason an institution would be eligible for formula funding hold harmless

A No Each session the Legislature makes a determination of whether it will make an appropriation for formula hold harmless A decrease in total enrollment is one reason an institution could be eligible for the funding Because the semester credit hours (general academic institutions) full-time student equivalents (health-related institutions) used in the formulas are based on weights (discipline program and course level) a change in the type of student enrollment regardless of total enrollment could also make an institution eligible for hold harmless funding

Q What are Educational and General Funds

A ldquoOther Educational and General Incomerdquo is a subset of ldquoEducational and General Incomerdquo The following are included in the Education Code (51009(c)) defi nition for ldquoEducational and General Fundsrdquo net tuition special course fees charged under Education Code 54051(e) and (l) lab fees student teaching fees hospital and clinic fees organized activity fees and proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment

Q What does it mean to be a Tier One institution

A The Tier One reference is often derived from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teachingrsquos prior system for classifying institutions of higher education As part of the 1994 version of the Carnegie Classification there were four categories for doctorate granting institutions Research Universities I Research Universities II Doctoral Universities I and Doctoral Universities II ldquoTier Onerdquo was synonymous with Research Universities I Such institutions had to off er a full range of baccalaureate programs award 50 or more doctoral degrees each year and receive annually at least $40 million or more in federal research funds Two institutions in Texas (The University of Texas at Austin and Texas AampM University) met these criteria The 2000 version of the Carnegie Classification collapsed the categories for doctorate granting institutions from four to two Doctoral Research UniversitiesmdashExtensive and DoctoralResearch UniversitiesmdashIntensive Six public institutions in Texas (Texas AampM University Texas Tech University University of Houston University of North Texas The University of Texas at Arlington and The University of Texas at Austin) meet the criteria for DoctoralResearch Universitiesmdash

Extensive In 2005 however the classifi cation structure returned to a more restricted top tier of institutions classifi ed as ldquoResearch Universities (very high research activity)rdquo Both The University of Texas at Austin and Texas AampM University are now counted in this category but any reference to Tier One usually refers to the 1994 Carnegie Classifi cation

Q What is the space model What is the base number of square feet needed

A In 1992 the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approved the Space Projection Model for Higher Education Institutions in Texas for public universities to assess the net assignable square feet (NASF) of educational and general space an institution needs There are fi ve categories incorporated into the model teaching library research offi ce and support space Space needs for auxiliary purposes such as dormitories or athletics are not included in the model Square footage amounts are assigned based on a number of elements within each category including the number of students and their program levels and the amount of research expenditures The space model was fi rst incorporated into the funding formulas for general academic institutions in 1997

Q What are ldquoOrganized Activitiesrdquo

A General academic institutions have a funding strategy titled ldquoOrganized Activitiesrdquo These are activities or enterprises that are connected with instructional departments Th ey are intended primarily to give training to students Examples include a university farm nurserypreschool programs an optometry clinic and lifeguard training

Q What are tuition revenue bonds

A Established in 1971 under Education Code 5513 tuition revenue bonds are bonds (not to exceed 50 years) issued by institutions of higher education for the purpose of ldquoproviding funds to acquire purchase construct improve enlarge andor equip any property buildings structures activities services operations or other facilities for and on behalf of its institution or institutions or any branch of branches thereofrdquo Each institutionsystem is authorized and required to pay debt service on its bonds Although the authorization and issuance of the bonds is not contingent on an appropriation by the state for related debt service the Legislature has provided General Revenue Funds to reimburse institutions for costs related to debt service However in the 2004ndash05 GAA the legislature changed this practice and only provided General Revenue Fund reimbursements for interest

LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 28

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

on bonds issued after March 31 2003 The 2006ndash07 GAA renewed the practice of reimbursing institutions for the costs related to debt service The 2008ndash09 GAA and 2010-11 GAA continues this practice

Q What Is Proportionality

A Pursuant to Section 608 of Article IX of the 2012ndash13 GAA the legislative intent of proportionality is to ldquomaximize balances in the General Revenue Fundrdquo by harmonizing salary funding source with benefits funding source Th is effectively means the Legislature limits its General Revenue Fund contributions for benefits only to those employees having salaries paid with General Revenue Funds As such proportionality requires employee health and retirement benefits be paid in ldquoproportionrdquo to the funding source of salaries To this end institutions are obligated to submit the Accounting Policy Statement 011 Benefits Proportional by Fund (APS 011) report to the Comptroller Th is document provides a structure by which state and local contributions are ldquosettled uprdquo in light of the fiscal years fund proportionality

Q What Is the National Research University Fund

A In 1995 the Texas Constitution was amended to authorize the creation and funding of the Permanent Higher Education Fund (PHEF) The PHEF was intended eventually to become a permanent endowment to support non-Permanent University Fund eligible institutions However the PHEF corpus was rededicated with the voter passage of Proposition 4 which amended Article 7 of the Texas Constitution by establishing the National Research University Fund (NRUF) In 2009 Proposition 4 transferred the balance of the PHEF to the credit of the NRUF as of January 1 2010 and repealed the constitutional authorization for the PHEF

The NRUF is intended to provide a source of funding to enable emerging research universities in Texas to achieve national prominence as major research universities Article VII of the Texas Constitution authorizes the Legislature to appropriate some or all of the total return on all investment assets of the NRUF for the purposes of the fund except for two caveats (1) the Legislature may not increase distributions from the fund if the purchasing power of investment assets for any rolling 10-year period is not preserved and (2) the amount appropriated from the proceeds of the NRUF corpus in any fiscal year must be capped at 7 percent of the investment assetsrsquo average net fair market value Until the NRUF has been invested long enough to determine its purchasing power over a 10-year period the Legislature is

authorized to use other means of preserving the purchasing power of the fund

House Bill 1000 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 establishes the specific eligibility and distribution criteria for the 2012ndash13 NRUF appropriations To be eligible to receive NRUF appropriations an institution must meet two mandatory criteria and four out of six optional criteria The mandatory criteria are that the institution is designated as an emerging research university within the THECBrsquos Accountability System and that the institution reported at least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the preceding two fiscal years Optional criteria include the following possession of an endowment fund values in excess of $400 million awarding over 200 Doctor of Philosophy degrees per year having an entering freshman class of high academic achievement recognition of institutionrsquos research capability and scholarly attainment possession of a high-quality faculty and possession of high-quality graduate education programs

APPENDIX B TUITION AND FEE PROVISIONS

VTCA Texas Education Code Section 54003 states No institution of higher education may collect from students attending the institution any tuition fee or charge of any kind except as permitted by lawhellip

The laws governing tuition and fees at institutions of higher education are found in Education Code Section 54 including a limited number of rules that relate to tuition and fees charged by junior and community colleges Education Code Section 54 includes statutes regarding statewide tuition and fee authority rules regarding residency for tuition and fee purposes and various exemptions for tuition and fees from nonresidency status Also it includes specific fee authority for individual institutions Figure B1 provides a listing of tuition and fee authorizations in Education Code Section 54 but does not include the items presented below or the various exemption and waiver provisions (Details about each provision can be found at httpwwwcapitolstate txus) Th ere are isolated instances outside Chapter 54 whereby the boards of regents are authorized to charge for specific services provided to students

This appendix highlights some of the more prominent tuition and fee provisions and indicates whether the related revenue is or is not included in the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT Tuition and fee revenue included in the GAA as General Revenue DedicatedndashFunds is referenced as ldquoOther Education and General Incomerdquo The amounts are ldquoEstimatedrdquo so whatever amount of revenue generated is the actual amount available to the institution to spend

54051 Tuition Rates (statutory tuition) In conjunction with Section 540512 Interim Tuition Rates resident tuition for undergraduate students reached $50 per semester credit hour in the 2005ndash06 academic year (the 2006 state fi scal year) Tuition for nonresident students at general academic medical and dental institutions is based on the average of nonresident tuition rates in the five most populous states other than Texas The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board must make this computation each academic year

54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board (also known as board authorized tuition) Applies to graduate programs Subsection (d) specifies that it is not to be used in the GAA as an offset to General Revenue Funds It is distributed across formula strategies after the formula calculation

54501 Laboratory Fees The fee amount must be sufficient to cover the general costs of laboratory materials and supplies used by a student It is not to be less than $2 or more than $30 per semester and it must not exceed the actual cost of materials and supplies

NOT INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT 540513 Designated Tuition Statute defi nes designated tuition as an institutional fund which means the revenue is not considered part of ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo Th e governing board can waive designated tuition for a student (see 54261) Statute specifies that this revenue not be used in the GAA as a way to offset General Revenue

54503 Student Services Fees This is intended for activities which are separate from the regularly scheduled academic functions of the institution and directly involve or benefi t students Except for The University of Texas at Austin (see 54513) and components of the University of Houston System (see 545061) the maximum of all compulsory student services cannot exceed $250 per semester It is kept separate from educational and general funds

54504 Incidental Fees The governing board sets the fee which must reasonably reflect the actual cost of the materials or services for which the fee is collected Examples of unearned fees include late registration library fi nes microfilming fees thesis or doctoral manuscript reproduction or filing fees and bad check charges

5516 Board Responsibility The governing board is authorized to ldquofix and collect rentals rates and chargesrdquo

APPENDIX C GLOSSARY

APPROPRIATION METHODOLOGIES Direct Appropriation The actual appropriation either estimated or sum certain listed in that institutionrsquos portion of the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

Indirect Appropriation An appropriation made on behalf of an institution but not listed in that institutionrsquos portion of the GAA Examples include appropriations to the Available University Fund the Higher Education Fund and the Higher Education Coordinating Board all of which are ultimately allocated to institutions

Estimated Appropriation An estimated appropriation is a figure in the GAA that best reflects the information available about the revenue source but the amount available for an institution to spend is contingent on the amount of revenue actually generated If the actual amount of revenue is less than the estimated amount the institution is limited to the lower amount If more revenue is generated than the estimated amount the institution can spend the higher amount

Sum Certain Appropriation A sum certain appropriation in the GAA means that an institution is limited to spend no more than the level of appropriation noted in the institutionrsquos bill pattern in the GAA

Lump Sum Appropriation Texas Education Code Section 61059(k) calls for flexibility in funds appropriated to higher education institutions A lump sum appropriation is a single amount that is unrestricted which means that it can be used for any variety of strategies The GAA provides an ldquoInformational Listing of Appropriated Fundsrdquo below each institutionrsquos lump sum appropriation Higher education institutions are not required to spend their appropriation within specified strategies One exception to this is the Tuition Revenue Bond strategy which represents the appropriation related to debt service on related bonds and must be spent as appropriated or it is reverted to the treasury

METHODS OF FINANCE General Revenue (GR) The non-dedicated portion of the General Revenue Fund is the statersquos primary operating fund Most state tax revenue many state fees and various other sources of revenue are deposited as non-dedicated General Revenue Funds

General RevenuendashDedicated (GRndashD) This is the dedicated portion of General Revenue Funds For higher education institutions the bulk of General RevenuendashDedicated Fund appropriations consist of tuition and fee revenue generated by the institutions These include the tuition and fee revenue included as ldquoOther Educational and General Incomerdquo (defined below) ldquoboard authorized tuitionrdquo (Texas Education Code Section 54008)

Other Funds State funds not included in General Revenue Funds or General RevenuendashDedicated Funds For institutions of higher education these include the Available University Fund and Patient Income generated by health-related institutions

FUND TYPES Educational and General Income Th e Texas Education Code (51009(c)) definition for ldquoEducational and General Fundsrdquo includes (a) net tuition (b) special course fees charged under Education Code Section 54051(e) and (l) (c) lab fees (d) student teaching fees (e) hospital and clinic fees (f ) organized activity fees and (g) proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment

Institutional Funds Texas Education Code Section 51009(b) defines institutional funds as those that are not ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo An example of an institutional fund is ldquodesignated tuitionrdquo (Texas Education Code Section 540513) These funds are not included in the GAA

Local Funds Texas Education Code Section 51009(a) defines local funds as net tuition certain special course fees lab fees student teaching fees hospital and clinic fees organized activity fees proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment and indirect cost recovery fees Th is revenue is accounted for as ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo and is included in the GAA

Other Educational and General Income The GAA includes some tuition and fees collected by institutions of higher education (General RevenuendashDedicated Funds) Th e revenue from tuition and fees such as statutory tuition (see texas Education Code Section 54051 Tuition Rates) board authorized tuition (see Texas Education Code Section 54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board) Laboratory

Fees (Texas Education Code Section 54501) and certain other fees are considered Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG) and are appropriated in the GAA as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds Other Educational and General Income is a subset of Educational and General Income (EampG Income)

Patient Income Health-related institutions that operate hospitals or dental clinics generate patient income from services rendered It is allocated as a method of finance to the related institution across a range of strategies in the institutionrsquos bill pattern (Other Funds) For the 2010ndash11 biennium more than $48 billion in patient income was appropriated making it the largest method of fi nance for health-related institutions

OTHER ITEMS Indirect Cost Recovery Institutions negotiate a percentage of a grant with the federal government for Indirect Costs There are a number of factors included in the calculation including building and equipment use allowance operations and maintenance general departmental and sponsored projects administration and library costs

INTRODUCTION

The Texas public higher education system encompasses 38 general academic teaching institutions (including law schools) 50 community and junior college districts one technical college system with four main campuses three lower-division state colleges and nine health-related institutions which operate a total of eight state medical schools three dental schools two pharmacy schools and other allied health and nursing units In addition there are seven agencies that are components of the Texas AampM University System

Private institutions in Texas include 38 four year colleges and universities two junior colleges one medical school and one accredited independent law school

Public institutions serve about 91 percent of the approximately 14 million students enrolled in higher education in Texas

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) was established in 1965 and is composed of nine members appointed by the Governor for staggered six-year terms THECB provides leadership and coordination for the Texas higher education system to promote excellence in higher education

THECBrsquos responsibilities include assessing Texasrsquo system of higher education and developing recommendations for

FIGURE 1 HISTORICAL SPENDING FOR HIGHER EDUCATION 2002ndash03 TO 2012ndash13 BIENNIA

improvements to the Governor the Legislature and institutions THECB reviews and recommends changes in formulas regarding the allocation of state funds to public institutions to limit duplication of academic programs and unnecessary construction projects THECB also promotes access to high quality programs at diff erent institutional levels and oversees the statersquos student financial aid programs

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 appropriated $221 billion in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) for the 2012ndash13 biennium to support Texas higher education a 25 percent decrease from the 2010ndash11 biennium (Figure 1) Figure 2 illustrates the sources of revenue also referred to as methods of finance for the $221 billion in state appropriations Generally only small portions of the Federal Funds received by institutions of higher education are reflected in the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

State funds are allocated to public institutions and agencies of higher education in a number of ways

bull direct appropriations through funding formulas and other direct appropriations based on identifi ed needs

bull indirect appropriations not made directly to an institution in its portion of the appropriations bill but used to cover costs related to the institutionrsquos staff

groups of institutions such as general academic institutions and community colleges differ in how the Legislature allocates state appropriations For example all general academic institutions receive funding generated from Instruction and Operations and Infrastructure formulas while community colleges have one formula for Instruction and Administration

While the General Revenue Fundrsquos portion of direct appropriations to institutions is ldquosum certainrdquo the appropriation of Patient Income and Other Educational and General Income (primarily tuition) is ldquoestimatedrdquo Th is means that if patient income or tuition revenue generated by an institution is greater than the amount included in the GAA the institution can spend at a level beyond the amounts in the GAA If an institution generates less tuition revenue it must spend less

The GAA establishes a key distinction for higher education entities differentiating them from other state agencies Statute (Texas Education Code Section 61059(k)) calls for each higher education institution to receive a lump sum appropriation for base funding The GAA expands this concept and provides each higher education institution with one lump sum appropriation For each institution the GAA provides an ldquoInformational Listing of Appropriated Fundsrdquo below each institutionrsquos lump sum appropriation Th is information reflects how the state funds are ldquoallocatedrdquo not how they must be spent Higher education institutions are not bound to spend their appropriation within the specifi ed

strategy as are regular state agencies An exception to this is debt service on tuition revenue bonds Section 6 Rider 9 in the Higher Education Special Provisions GAA page III-233 limits the use of debt service to pay debt service for tuition revenue bonds Any amount of an appropriation not spent must be returned to the General Revenue Fund at the end of the fi scal year

There are some limitations on how institutions can spend appropriated funds The Texas Constitution (Article VII Section 18(i) and 17 (j)) prohibits with limited exceptions the use of General Revenue Funds for construction projects However the Texas Legislature by two-thirds vote in each house may opt to use General Revenue Funds for construction projects if there is a natural disaster or demonstrated need for the project

Also GAA (Section 6 Rider 8b) Special Provisions Relating Only to State Agencies of Higher Education (page III-233) prohibits the use of appropriated funds for auxiliary purposes such as athletics and parking Section 54 of the Special Provisions (page III-246) also restricts the use of funds in the Research Development Strategy to purposes defi ned in Texas Education Code Section 62091 Communityjunior colleges can spend General Revenue Funds only for instruction and administrative costs (Texas Education Code Section 130003(c))

This report presents the different ways that public institutions and agencies allocate state appropriations and highlights the flexibility with which these appropriations may be expended References to appropriated funds are based on the Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 2012ndash13 biennium GAA as adjusted for certain appropriations made in Article IX (General Provisions) of the GAA contingency appropriations other bills making appropriations in fi scal years 2012 and 2013 and Governor vetoes Amounts for fiscal year 2011 have been adjusted for the Supplemental Appropriations Bill House Bill 4 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 and Senate Bill 2 First Called Session 2011 Each category of institutionmdashgeneral academic health-related community and technical colleges and Texas AampM System agenciesmdashis presented separately Th e only THECB funds detailed in this report are funds that have been distributed to public institutions

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

OVERVIEW General academic institutions are listed in the Texas Education Code (61003) Figure 4 lists the institutions and their enrollments All of the institutions have common goals of instruction research and public service however each has a unique set of academic offerings and a unique regional or statewide mission

General academic institutions receive direct appropriations via funding formulas and non-formula appropriations Direct appropriations are identified in the informational strategies of each institutionrsquos bill pattern in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) As mentioned earlier appropriations are made to institutions as a lump sum Th e informational strategies reflect how state funds are ldquoallocatedrdquo not how they must be spent This means that with a few exceptions higher education entities unlike other state agencies are not required to spend appropriations within a specified funding strategy

The appropriation levels in each strategy refl ect diff erent revenue sources such as General Revenue Funds General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (mostly tuition and fee revenue) and Other Funds These revenue sources are referred to as the ldquomethod of fi nancerdquo Figure 5 illustrates the method of finance for $74 billion in appropriations for general academic institutions including a number of the indirect appropriations referenced in the next paragraph but does not include appropriations for employee retirement benefi ts

There are also appropriations that benefit institutions that are not reflected in the bill pattern of individual institutions including the Higher Education Fund the Available National Research University Fund Available University Fund certain employee benefits and funds trusteed to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB)

Figure 6 presents the percentage of funding related to each of these direct and indirect appropriations All of these appropriations are further described in the following pages

In addition general academic institutions have access to funds not reflected in the state appropriations process Examples of this include indirect cost recovery certain tuition and fees such as ldquodesignated tuitionrdquo and ldquoincidental feesrdquo (both are described in Appendix B) auxiliary operations (ie revenue from athletics student services fees bookstore and parking) and grants and gifts

FORMULA FUNDING Nearly 573 percent of state appropriations for general academic institutions are allocated via two funding formulas and two supplements Instruction and Operations Formula Teaching Experience Supplement Infrastructure Formula

and Small Institution Supplement The formulas and supplements are direct appropriations and are primarily based on enrollment

The formula appropriations consist of General Revenue Funds and some Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG) Other EampG includes specific tuition and fee revenue (see Appendix B for a listing of tuition and fee provisions) The inclusion of certain tuition and fee revenue in the formula funding calculation is referred to as an ldquoAll Funds methodologyrdquo to formula funding Th e most significant tuition revenue included in the formula calculation is tuition charged in accordance with Texas Education Code Section 54051 Interim Tuition Rates (referred to as statutory tuition) The statutory tuition rate for the 2012ndash13 academic year is $50 per semester credit hour for Texas residents Th e corresponding tuition rate for a nonresident student is the average nonresident tuition charged to a Texas resident at a public university in each of the five most populous states

Of the $40 billion allocated by the general academic formulas and supplements nearly 728 percent consists of General Revenue Funds with the remainder consisting of General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (Other EampG)

A portion of Other EampG income is set aside for specifi c purposes or allocated to non-formula based strategies in the

institutionrsquos bill pattern For example institutions set aside a portion of their tuition to provide Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) TPEG are grants designed to help students cover their tuition fees and textbook costs when these expenses exceed a certain portion of their familiesrsquo contributions to their educations This set-aside revenue is not part of the tuition and fee revenue used to calculate the funding formulas

INSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS FORMULA

About 815 percent of formula funds flow through the Instruction and Operations Formula ($32716 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) and Teaching Experience Supplement ($957 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) Th e Instruction and Operations formula is calculated as follows

Semester Credit Hours X ProgramLevel Weight X Rate (5371)

Semester credit hours (SCH) are a measurement of how many classes (and the number of students enrolled in those classes) an institution delivers The formula calculation for a biennium uses a ldquobase periodrdquo of SCH The ldquobase periodrdquo used for the 2012ndash13 biennium was the combination of summer 2010 fall 2010 and spring 2011

SCH is weighted by discipline (eg nursing is weighted more than liberal arts) and by level (ie lower and upper division masters doctoral and professional) For instance a lower division liberal arts course receives a weight of 10 A doctoral level liberal arts course receives a weight of 923 A nursing lower division course receives a weight of 203 A doctoral nursing course receives a weight of 925 Beginning with the 2006ndash07 GAA the basis for the weights per discipline was shifted to an aggregation of actual costs based on institutions Annual Financial Reports Currently THECB uses a rolling three year average to adjust the weights each biennium

THECB recommends a rate based on its recommended weights and program enhancements The legislature sets the weights and the rate in the Higher Education Special Provisions of the GAA (page III-238) In practice the legislature has set the rate based on available funding including consideration of enrollment changes and other factors Figure 7 illustrates the Instruction and Operations Formula allocation to institutions

TEACHING EXPERIENCE SUPPLEMENT

For the 2012ndash13 biennium an additional weight of ten percent is added to lower-division and upper-division semester credit hours taught by tenured and tenure-track faculty The 2012ndash13 GAA includes the following language ldquoFurthermore it is the intent of the Legislature that the weight shall increase by 10 percent per biennium up to 50 percentrdquo (Special Provisions Relating Only to State Agencies of Higher Education Sec 28 page III-238 2012ndash13 GAA)

The Teaching Experience Supplement is calculated as follows

Semester Credit Hours X ProgramLevel Weight Supplement (10) X Rate (5371)

The Teaching Experience Supplement was 5 percent during the 1998ndash99 and 2000ndash01 biennia Th e Seventy-seventh Legislature 2001 increased the supplement to the current 10 percent in 2002ndash03 biennium

INFRASTRUCTURE FORMULA

Almost 16 percent of formula funds flow through the Infrastructure Formula and Small Institution Supplement ($6768 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) In addition to

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 7

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

the universities the State Colleges and components of Texas State Technical College also receive infrastructure formula appropriations This formula uses a statewide infrastructure rate which is set in the GAA The statewide infrastructure rate is divided into two rates an Adjusted Utility Rate and an All Other Rate As with the SCH rate the legislature has set the rate based on available funding including consideration of changes in institutional space and other factors

The Infrastructure Formula is calculated as follows

(Adjusted Utility Rate + All Other Rates) X Predicted Square Feet

The Adjusted Utility Rate is 52 percent of the statewide infrastructure rate The 52 percent reflects the percentage of infrastructure formula funds that institutions historically spent on utilities A statewide utility rate is determined and then adjusted for each institution to reflect utility costs relative to other institutions

The All Other Rate is 48 percent of the statewide infrastructure rate and remains constant among institutions It accounts for physical plant grounds maintenance and custodial services

THECBrsquos Space Projection Model for Higher Education Institutions in Texas (space model) estimates square footage for each institution The objective of the space model projection is to calculate the amount of space an institution needs based on the following

bull number program and level of semester credit hours

bull number of faculty non-faculty students programs and library holdings and

bull research and current EampG expenditures

Figure 8 illustrates the Infrastructure Formula allocation to institutions The similarity of the allocation to the Instruction and Operations Formula allocation demonstrates the influence of enrollment on both formula allocations

SMALL INSTITUTION SUPPLEMENT

Prior to the Eighty-fi rst Legislature (2009) general academic institutions with enrollments of less than 5000 received a $750000 annual Small Institution Supplement However the Eighty-first Legislature increased the enrollment threshold to 10000 students and implemented a phase-out

(based on the number of students) of the supplement between 5000 and 10000 students for the 2012ndash13 biennium (see Figure 9) This supplement recognizes that institutions have a minimum cost of operation that may not be covered by funds generated through the formulas

Th e Eighty-first Legislature 2009 provided $414 million in General Revenue hold harmless funding for aff ected institutions to minimize the effect of reduced formula funding as a result of overall enrollment declines or declines in upper-division or graduate enrollment Decreases in formula funding could be caused by declining enrollment a shift from upper level or graduate semester credit hours to lower level hours a much smaller increase in enrollment than other institutions or a change in utility costs Th e Eighty-second Legislature 2011 provided $444 million in a hold harmless based on total General Revenue Funds (formula and non-formula) for the 2012ndash13 biennium

SPECIAL ITEMS

Special Item appropriations to the institutions total $4836 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium In 2012ndash13 $69 million was appropriated to system offices for special items These are direct appropriations to institutions for projects that are not funded by formula but are specifi cally identifi ed by the legislature as needing support An institution is not required to spend the amount identified in a Special Item strategy for that particular project but expenditure reports indicate that institutions often use an entire appropriation along with additional funding for the related project

The majority of special item funding is through the Institutional Enhancement strategy Institutional Enhancement is a $2204 million appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium This is a direct appropriation to institutions and was established by the Seventy-sixth Legislature 1999 for the 2000ndash01 biennium Th e fi rst Institutional Enhancement appropriation was based on a consolidation of certain Special Item appropriations in 1999 and an additional $1 million per year was appropriated for each institution Examples of consolidated special items are items that could be funded through the formulas such as general institutional academic and research support

For the 2002ndash03 biennium there was an additional $1 million increase in appropriations for most institutions and a $15 million increase for selected institutions in South Texas and the border region Institutions that benefi ted signifi cantly from the Seventy-seventh Legislaturersquos new University Research and Texas Excellence Funds (House Bill 1839 Seventy-seventh Legislature 2001) or from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) ldquoexcellence fundingrdquo did not receive an increase in Institutional Enhancement funds for the 2002ndash03 biennium

Other Special Items total $2632 million in appropriations for the 2012ndash13 biennium and include the following institutional and instructional support public service items research items other than general research support funding for separate campuses and accreditation program items

TEXAS COMPETITIVE KNOWLEDGE FUND

The Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund (TCKF) is authorized by the General Appropriations Act (GAA) (2012ndash13 Biennium) Article III Higher Education Special Provisions Section 56 The GAA prescribes that this funding will be used to support faculty for the purpose of instructional excellence and research Funding was first allocated in these strategies by the Legislature for the 2008ndash09 biennium

Current institutions receiving TCKF appropriations include The University of Texas at Austin Texas AampM University University of Houston Texas Tech University and Th e University of Texas at Dallas Institutions are allocated funding appropriated to the TCKF based on average research expenditures for the previous three-year period Th e Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 appropriated $935 million in Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund strategies directly to the institutions This funding level provides approximately $07 million to each institution for every $100 million in research expenditures In practice

when institutions have first received distributions from the fund appropriations have been reduced from the institutionrsquos special item strategies In subsequent biennia the institution continues to receive appropriations from the TCKF and the reduction in special items is not specifi cally restored

RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT FUND

The Research Development Fund was created by House Bill 3526 Seventy-eighth Legislature Regular Session 2003 and replaced the Texas Excellence and University Research Funds effective September 1 2005 The intent was to combine the Texas Excellence Fund and University Research Fund into a new fund applying a uniform allocation methodology based on a three-year average of each institutionrsquos restricted research expenditures Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature allocated $653 million (Figure 10) in the 2012ndash13 biennium to individual institutions to fund objectives identical to the Research Development Fund (Section 62091)

TEXAS RESEARCH INCENTIVE PROGRAM

Th e Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009 established the Texas Research Incentive Program (TRIP) at THECB to match state appropriations with certain gifts and endowments received by emerging research universities Th e goal of this $178 million a year program is to create more Tier One universities in Texas

PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE INITIATIVE

The Eightieth Legislature 2007 appropriated $100 million in fiscal year 2009 to THECB to establish a Higher Education Performance Incentive Initiative The funding was for ldquoimprovement in teaching and educational excellence at Texas public general academic institutionsrdquo THECB distributed $80 million for increases in degrees awarded with special weights given to critical fields and at-risk students The remaining $20 million was used to fund scholarships for students graduating in the top 10 percent of their high school class

Th e Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009 maintained the $80 million for the higher education performance incentive initiative (funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) and increased funding for the Top Ten Percent scholarship program by $34 million bringing total appropriations for the program to $54 million

There were no performance funding incentives for the 2012ndash13 biennium For the 2012ndash13 biennium $396

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 provided $444 million in General Revenue Funds hold harmless funding for aff ected institutions to minimize the effect of reduced formula and special item funding Decreases in formula funding could be caused by declining enrollment a shift from upper level or graduate semester credit hours to lower level hours a much smaller increase in enrollment that other institutions or a change in utility costs

CAPITAL FUNDS

In addition to the constitutional funds discussed in the next subsection there are three types of state appropriation for capital funds tuition revenue bonds Skiles Act revenue bonds and lease payments Almost all of the direct appropriations to institutions related to capital funds are for debt service on tuition revenue bonds

A $5931 million General Revenue Funds appropriation was made for tuition revenue bond debt service for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Tuition revenue bonds must be authorized in statute Once an authorization is made institutions issue bonds and make related debt payments with tuition revenue Th e Texas Public Finance Authority issues tuition revenue bonds for Midwestern State University Stephen F Austin University Texas Southern University and the Texas State Technical Colleges Legislative practice has been to use General Revenue Funds to reimburse institutions for the costs related to this debt service

The legislature first authorized tuition revenue bonds in 1971 In some instances the authorization was a lump sum for the benefit of specific institutions During the Seventy-eighth Legislature 2003 $2689 million in tuition revenue bonds was authorized for specific projects at various higher education institutions The Seventy-ninth Legislature Th ird Called Session 2005 adopted House Bill 153 which authorized the issuance of $1858 billion in tuition revenue bonds for forty-four different institutions Only one tuition revenue bond (House Bill 1775) was adopted by the Eightieth Legislature 2007 for a $13 million nursing building at Stephen F Austin University Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature 2009 authorized one tuition revenue bond for Texas AampM University at Galveston The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not authorize any new tuition revenue bonds

The authority for Skiles Act Revenue Bonds was repealed in 1997 It had allowed institutions to pledge up to $5 from each enrolled student for each regular semester to the payment of bonds authorized under the governing boardrsquos general authority to sell revenue bonds Institutions use their Other Educational and General Income (General Revenuendash Dedicated Funds) to pay the debt service on these previously authorized bonds This is a $10 million appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Three general academic institutions receive a $3 million General Revenue Fund appropriation for lease payments to community colleges for facilities

CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

These funds are appropriated separately in the GAA and not directly appropriated to the institutions (see Appendix D)

The Available University Fund (AUF) established in Section 18 Article VII Texas Constitution consists of the surface income and investment proceeds from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) a state endowment with land grants totaling 21 million acres

Distributions to the AUF consist of investment returns from PUF assets surface income from PUF lands and interest earned on AUF balances For the 2012ndash13 biennium investment returns were $12200 million surface income was $398 million and interest income was $59 million Income from the sale of PUF lands and the lease of mineral interest is retained in the PUF and invested

The total 2012ndash13 estimated appropriation for the AUF is $12660 million The Constitution appropriates two-thirds of the AUF to The University of Texas System and one-third to the Texas AampM University System The two systems may use the AUF for capital purposes (debt service on PUF bonds) for most of their institutions and ldquofor the support and maintenancerdquo of other institutions listed Entities authorized to receive funding for ldquosupport and maintenancerdquo which is now commonly referred to as ldquoAUF Excellence Fundingrdquo are the two system offi ces The University of Texas at Austin Texas AampM University and Prairie View AampM University The systemsrsquo boards of regents determine allocations to individual institutions including health-related institutions and the amounts for ldquoExcellencerdquo Figure 11 lists the recipients and the type of support they received

The Higher Education Fund (HEF) as authorized in Section 17 Article VII Texas Constitution benefits institutions of higher education not eligible for the AUF (see Figure 12)

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

The HEF is supported by General Revenue Fund appropriations

The distribution of the $525 million HEF appropriation for 2012ndash13 is provided for in statute (Texas Education Code Section 62021) The Constitution calls for a re-allocation of HEF funds every ten years The Seventy-ninth Legislature Regular Session fulfilled this requirement with the enactment of House Bill 3001

The Constitution also allows the legislature to adjust the decennial allocations every five years Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature Regular Session 2011 exercised this authority by enacting House Bill 51 which adjusted the formula allocation for the HEF funds for fiscal years 2009 through 2015

To maintain the equitable distribution of the HEF appropriation House Bill 51 also corrected the distribution of fiscal year 2009 and 2010 HEF allocations by using revised formula calculations Using these revised formula calculations House Bill 51 factored in updated data elements to generate the annual HEF allocations for the fi ve-year period starting in fiscal year 2011

HEF funds must be used for capital purposes Institutions may use HEF allocations for debt service on HEF bonds or as cash

In 1995 the Texas Constitution was amended to authorize the creation and funding of a dedicated HEF corpus known as the Permanent Higher Education Fund (PHEF) Th is corpus was separate from the annual HEF allocation of General Revenue Funds The PHEF was intended to become a permanent endowment to support non-PUF eligible institutions but never reached its targeted value of $2 billion

The PHEF corpus of $5159 million was rededicated with the enactment of Proposition 4 which amended Article 7 of the Texas Constitution by establishing the National Research University Fund (NRUF) The balance of the PHEF was transferred to the NRUF on January 1 2010 and the authorization for the PHEF expired Proposition 4 also allowed the legislature to appropriate some or all of the total returns from the NRUF to provide a source of funding to enable emerging research universities to achieve national prominence

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 appropriated $124 million in estimated NRUF proceeds to eligible institutions in the 2012ndash13 biennium

House Bill 1000 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 established the specific eligibility and distribution criteria for the 2012ndash13 NRUF appropriations To be eligible to receive NRUF appropriations an institution must meet two mandatory criteria and four out of six optional criteria The mandatory criteria are that the institution in designated as an emerging research university within the Higher Education Coordinating Boardrsquos Accountability System and that the institution reported at least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the preceding two fi scal years Optional criteria include the following possession of an endowment fund values in excess of $400 million awarding over 200 Doctor of Philosophy degrees per year having an entering freshman class of high academic achievement recognition of the institutions research capability and scholarly attainment possession of a high-quality faculty and possession of high-quality graduate education programs Texas Tech University and the University of Houston are the only two institutions that received funding through this program in 2012

HIGHER EDUCATION GROUP INSURANCE (HEGI)

The $4631 million General Revenue Fund appropriation for higher education group insurance (HEGI) is not a direct appropriation in the institutionsrsquo bill patterns It is appropriated in a separate section of the GAA entitled ldquoHigher Education Employees Group Insurance Contributionsrdquo This appropriation is intended to help institutions cover the cost of health insurance premiums for institution employees whose salaries are paid from the General Revenue Fund Because The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own health insurance programs they each receive separate appropriations The remaining institutions are included in the program operated by the Employees Retirement System (ERS)

The HEGI appropriation is sum-certain That is the Statersquos General Revenue Fund contributions are limited to each institutionrsquos number of employees enrolled in the health insurance program as of December 1 2012 However the GAA allows ERS The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems to transfer HEGI appropriations among institutions within their respective group insurance programs to address shortfalls in General Revenue Funds related to group insurance premiums

SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS

An appropriation for social security is included in the GAA at the end of Article III It is an estimated General Revenue

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

Fund appropriation to provide the employer matching funds for employees of institutions of higher education (Th is appropriation amount is not included in Figure 3 on page 2)

STAFF GROUP INSURANCE

Staff group insurance is for staff whose salaries are not paid with General Revenue Funds (GR) The appropriation is based on an estimation of the number of non-GR funded employees at an institution as of December 1 2010 Th e total appropriation for all general academic institutions is $1766 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium The method of finance is Other Educational and General Income (which is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds)

RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS

Appropriations for retirement contributions are included under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) bill patterns Some higher education employees primarily faculty and top administrators are eligible for ORP a defi ned contribution plan similar to a 401k Other higher education employees participate in TRS a defi ned benefit plan The state funds retirement contributions for TRS equal to 60 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal year 2012 and 64 percent in 2013 State contributions for ORP are equal to 60 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal years 2012 and 2013 (Th ese appropriation amounts are not included in Figure 3 on page 2)

OTHER NON-FORMULA FUNDING

WORKERSrsquo COMPENSATION

Changes in the structure of the statewide workersrsquo compensation system resulted in most institutions receiving General Revenue Fund appropriations for Workersrsquo Compensation starting in 2006ndash07 However Th e University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own workersrsquo compensation pools while all other institutions are part of the State Office of Risk Managementrsquos workersrsquo compensation pool

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

Most components of The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems have this strategy because they operate their own risk pools Th ese institutions receive General Revenue Fund appropriations for unemployment compensation insurance The appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium is $05 million in General Revenue Funds Th e Texas Workforce Commission receives an appropriation to

cover unemployment benefi ts for former state employees for all other higher education institutions

TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANTS

According to statute (Texas Education Code Chapter 56 Subchapter C and Texas Education Code Section 54051 [Statutory Tuition]) institutions must set aside a portion of tuition revenue for Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) Fifteen percent of each resident studentrsquos tuition and 3 percent of each nonresident studentrsquos tuition are set aside for financial aid to students at the institution Texas Education Code Section 56033 provides guidelines on the allocation of TPEG revenue The GAA includes an estimate of the amount of TPEG revenue each institution will generate Th is $2111 million estimated appropriation is considered Other Educational and General Income which are classifi ed as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY

Indirect costs as defined by The Comptroller of Public Accounts are ldquoincurred for a common or joint purpose benefiting more than one cost objectiverdquo Institutions negotiate a percentage of a federal grant for indirect costs There are a number of factors included in the calculation including building and equipment use allowance operations and maintenance general departmental and sponsored projects administration and library costs

The Seventy-eighth Legislature 2003 allowed universities to retain 100 percent of indirect costs income from research grants and contracts to encourage further research projects conducted by universities

ORGANIZED ACTIVITIES

Organized Activities are activities or enterprises connected with instructional departments whose primary function is training for students Examples include a university farm nurserypreschool programs an optometry clinic and lifeguard training Revenue from Organized Activities is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds Other EampG Income For the 2012ndash13 biennium $503 million is appropriated for Organized Activities

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

OVERVIEW Appropriations for the nine health-related institutions are similar in structure to the appropriations for general academic institutions There are formula and non-formula funding appropriations made directly to the institutions as well as appropriations that benefit the institutions but are not included in the institutionsrsquo bill patterns such as the Available University Fund certain staff benefi ts and funds trusteed at the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) While health-related institutions do not receive appropriations from the Research Development Fund they share many other types of appropriations similar to general academic institution appropriations Th ose appropriations will be briefly restated in this section of the report Figure 13 lists the institutions and their enrollment

Like other higher education institutions the appropriations for health-related institutions are a lump sum and funding strategies are presented for informational purposes in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) The funding strategies in a health-related institutionrsquos bill pattern represent how state funds are allocated but not how they must be spent Also certain methods of finance in the appropriation are estimated This means that if for example patient income for an institution is above the amount included in the GAA

the institution can spend more than the amount listed in the GAA

Also health-related institutions have access to an estimated $109 billion outside the appropriations process in 2012ndash13 Examples of this include certain tuition revenue indirect lost recovery grants and gifts

FORMULA FUNDING The three primary funding formulas for health-related institutions are Instruction and Operations support Infrastructure support and Research Enhancement Th e University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Th e University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler have additional formula allocations to accommodate their unique missions Each health-related institution also receives formula funding for graduate medical education

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 15

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

General Revenue funding and some Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated) fund the formulas Like general academic institutions certain tuition revenue is used in the calculation of the Instruction and Operation support and Infrastructure support formulas Of the $15 billion that is allocated by the health-related institutionsrsquo primary formulas 939 percent is from the General Revenue Fund and the remaining 61 percent is from General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (tuition and fee revenue)

Some tuition and fee income is set aside for specifi c purposes Some specific amounts are unavailable for formula purposes and consequently are not a formula method of fi nance For example health-related institutions set aside a portion of their tuition to provide Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) and Medical Loans

INSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS SUPPORT FORMULA

The Instruction and Operations (IampO) support formula represents nearly 755 percent of the primary formula funds for health-related institutions ($9282 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) It is intended to fund items such as faculty salaries departmental operating expenses instructional administration and libraries It is allocated on a per full-time student equivalent (FTSE) basis with a funding weight predicated on the instructional program of the student This formula applies to all health-related

institutions except The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler which did not offer education instruction during the base period for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Figure 15 illustrates the Instruction and Operations support formula among the eight health-related institutions

The Instruction and Operations support formula is calculated as follows

(FTSE X Program Weight X $8874) + SmallMultiple Campus Supplement

FTSE is weighted by discipline For example medicine (4753) is weighted more than pharmacy (1670) Allied Health is assigned a weight of 1000

The Legislature sets the weights and the rate ($8874 adjusted for the 2012ndash13 biennium) in the Higher Education Special Provisions of the GAA (Sec 29 page III-239 and 240) The rate is calculated based on the available revenue for the formula and the number of FTSEs

Programs with enrollments less than 200 receive a Small Campus Supplement (see Figure 16)

INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT FORMULA

The Infrastructure support formula is 194 percent of the primary formula funding and is intended for utilities and physical plant support ($2383 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) This formula calculation is similar to that for general academic institutions but includes only one rate ($655) for all institutions except The University of Texas

THECBrsquos space model predicts square footage for each institution The space model projection is based on the following

bull number and level of FTE students

bull number of faculty

bull single or multiple programs and campuses

bull actual clinical space and

bull research and current EampG expenditures

Because the space projection model does not account for hospital space separate infrastructure funding for hospital space is included in the total funding for hospital and patient-care activities at The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

RESEARCH FORMULA

Health-related institutions generate state appropriations to support research through General Revenue Funds in the Research Enhancement formula ($629 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) The Research Enhancement formula accounts for 51 percent of the primary formula funds and is funded entirely from the General Revenue Fund

The allocation is based on the amount of research generated by each institution

$1412500 + (110 X Research

Expenditures)

This provides a base Institutions report for all institutions current research

regardless of research expenditures to volume THECB

Figure 18 illustrates the Research Enhancement formula allocation to the institutions among the nine health-related institutions

GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION

The Seventy-ninth Legislature 2005 established a new formula for funding graduate medical education in the 2006ndash07 GAA For 2012ndash13 the funding totals $46 million

NON-FORMULA FUNDING

PATIENT CARE ACTIVITIES

Some institutions conduct patient care activities generally medical or dental For the 2012ndash13 biennium the estimated appropriation for Patient Income was $56 billion Th e hospital and clinic revenues earned through patient care activities are considered Other Funds which are part of Educational and General Income (not to be confused with Other Educational and General Income which is another subset of Educational and General Income) General Revenue funding supplements patient-care income to varying degrees at each institution Patient Income is an estimated appropriation and is spread across an institutionrsquos funding strategies however it is not used in the calculation of the formulas

INSTITUTIONAL ENHANCEMENT

Institutional Enhancement is a General Revenue Fund appropriation that started in the 2000ndash01 biennium It is designed to allow each institution to address its unique needs and diseconomies of scale at institutions with smaller campuses The total institutional enhancement appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium was $42 million which includes $407 million in General Revenue Funds and $16 million in Patient Income

SPECIAL ITEMS

Special items are activities that are not generally funded through the formulas and typically represent an institutionrsquos special needs or areas of expertise The $3107 million in General Revenue Funds for the 2012ndash13 biennium funds items such as residency programs academic outreach programs public service items and research items other than general research support Institutions propose and justify special items and request an amount for each on an ad hoc basis Special items generally remain constant from biennium to biennium unless the item was a one-time expense (eg tornado damage repairs) or the institution has not used the funding for the intended purpose

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

These funds are not directly appropriated to institutions in the GAA In other words these funds are not found in a strategy within an institutionrsquos bill pattern

Health-related institutions are eligible for funding from the Available University Fund ($146 million in Other Funds allocated to these institutions by system offices for the 2012ndash 13 biennium) and the Higher Education Fund ($257 million in General Revenue Funds appropriated for the 2012ndash13 biennium) which are presented in detail in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section of this report

CAPITAL FUNDS

Just like general academic institutions tuition revenue bonds ($1665 million in General Revenue Funds for related debt service in the 2012ndash13 biennium) are also used to fund capital projects at health-related institutions A detailed presentation of tuition revenue bonds is in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center also have separate appropriations for capital projects that are funded primarily with Patient Income

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Like general academic institutions health-related institutions benefit from direct and indirect state appropriations related to employee benefi ts The indirect appropriations include Higher Education Group Insurance ($2339 million in General Revenue Funds for the 2012ndash13 biennium) Retirement Contributions and Social Security Benefi ts (all presented in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section) The direct appropriations include Staff Group Insurance

For the 2012ndash13 biennium the Workersrsquo Compensation and Unemployment Compensation strategies (all presented in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section) are funded directly with General Revenue Funds and General RevenuendashDedicated Funds However The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own workersrsquo compensation pools while all other institutions are part of the State Office of Risk Managementrsquos workersrsquo compensation pool The University of Texas and Texas AampM Systems also manage their own unemployment compensation coverage while all other institutions receive coverage from

the Texas Workforce Commission which receives an appropriation to cover unemployment benefi ts

TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANTS

Health-related institutions similar to general academic institutions are subject to the Texas Education Code (sect56031 et al) provision requiring a portion of tuition revenue be set aside to fund Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) For the 2012ndash13 biennium the estimated TPEG appropriation is $188 million This revenue is considered Other Education and General Income which is classifi ed as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY

As mentioned earlier in this section Indirect Cost Recovery was removed from the GAA for the 2010ndash11 biennium however the individual institution still receives the funds

TOBACCO SETTLEMENT

House Bill 1945 Seventy-sixth Legislature 1999 established the Permanent Health Fund for health-related institutions of Higher Education the Permanent Fund for Minority Health Research and Education the Permanent Fund for Higher Education Nursing Allied Health and Other Health Related Programs and 13 permanent endowments for individual institutions of higher education The $769 million in estimated interest earnings from the endowments for 2012ndash13 (based on estimated interest earnings of 45 percent each year) were appropriated to the health-related institutions

OVERVIEW Public two-year lower-level institutions include 50 community and junior college districts four Texas State Technical College (TSTC) campuses and three Lamar State Colleges These institutions were appropriated $22 billion in state funding for the 2012ndash13 biennium Preliminary fall FIGURE 20 TWO-YEAR INSTITUTION FUNDING MECHANISMS 2012ndash13 BIENNIUM

2011 enrollment at these institutions totaled 789713 Figure 20 illustrates the funding mechanisms for these institutions Community colleges accounted for 983 percent of this enrollment total while the Texas State Technical and Lamar State Colleges composed the remaining portion

COMMUNITY COLLEGES

Instruction and Administration General Revenue Funds from the state are based on contact hour driven formulas for two-year institutions Tuition and fee revenues and local tax revenues augment state General Revenue Funds for these costs

Academic Courses Approximately 82 percent of the total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are academic courses

Technical Courses Approximately 18 percent of the total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are vocationaltechnical courses

Physical Plant The state provides no funding for physical plant operations and maintenance Local taxing districts are expected to provide support for physical plant needs Community colleges are projected to receive approximately $12 billion in tax income in fiscal year 2011

Facilities Local communities must provide facilities Community colleges are not eligible to receive Higher Education Fund (HEF) allocations Available University Fund allocations or state tuition revenue bonds

Employee Benefits While community college employees are locally-employed community colleges participate in the Employee Retirement System (ERS) Group Benefits Program for health benefi ts and the Teacher Retirement System(TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) for retirement benefits The state makes General Revenue Fund contributions for the health and retirement benefits

Tuition Fee Revenues Tuition and fee revenues are considered institutional funds and are not appropriated by the state Tuition rates vary by institution In 2012 the statewide tuition rates plus fees averaged $73 per semester credit hour but varied from $34 to $208 per semester credit hour

Local Tax Revenue Community Colleges are projected to receive approximately $12 billion in tax income in fiscal year 2011 Local tax revenues are expected to provide support for physical plant needs and augment state General Revenue Funds for instruction and administration costs

Academic Courses Approximately 39 percent at the Lamar colleges and 28 percent at Texas State Technical College (TSTC) of total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are academic courses

Technical Courses Approximately 61 percent at the Lamar colleges and 72 percent at TSTC of total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are vocationaltechnical courses

Physical Plant State funding based on the formula for general academic institutions The Lamar colleges will receive approximately $71 million and TSTC will receive $157 million in General Revenue Funds for physical plant and utilities in the 2012ndash13 biennium

Facilities The Lamar colleges receive approximately $42 million annually from HEF funds and TSTC receives almost $58 million annually The HEF monies are used to acquire land construct and equip buildings provide major building repair or rehabilitation and acquire capital equipment and library materials

Employee Benefits Both the Lamar colleges and TSTC institutions participate in ERSrsquo Group Benefits Program for health benefits and the TRS and ORP programs for retirement benefits The state makes General Revenue Fund contributions for the health and retirement benefits of those employees having their salaries paid with General Revenue Funds

Tuition Fee Revenues Certain tuition revenue is appropriated by the state In 2012 for resident students average tuition plus fees was $139 per semester credit hour at the Lamar colleges and $150 per semester credit hour at TSTC

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

These institutions are primarily funded based on student contact hours A contact hour is a standard unit of measure that represents an hour of scheduled academic and technical instruction given to students during a semester Community and junior college districts generate almost 958 percent of the state-funded contact hours at two-year institutions TSTC components generate approximately 29 percent of the contact hours and the three Lamar State Colleges account for the 13 percent

COMMUNITY COLLEGES Over 99 percent of the direct appropriations to community colleges are from the General Revenue Fund and are generated through a funding formula The remaining direct appropriations are for isolated ldquospecial itemsrdquo including appropriations for the Southwest Collegiate Institute for the Deaf which is part of the appropriation for Howard College The Texas Education Code Section 130003(a) calls for state appropriations to public community colleges to ldquosupplement local funds for the proper support maintenance operation and improvement of those public junior colleges of Texas that meet the standards prescribed by the chapterrdquo Further Education Code Section 130003(c) indicates that state funds must be used ldquoexclusively for the purpose of paying salaries of instructional and administrative forceshellip and the purchase of supplies and materials for instructional purposesrdquo

Consistent with statute community colleges have their own Instruction and Administration Formula which is funded by General Revenue Funds and based on ldquostudent contact hoursrdquo Unlike general academic institution formulas this formula does not include tuition and fee revenue as part of the method of fi nance

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 also provided $45 million to certain districts through a new small institution supplemental formula A district is eligible for the supplement if it makes a significantly above-average effort to generate tax income while at the same time experiencing below-average tax revenue and does not have a number of contact hours that exceeds the statewide median Th e Eighty-second Legislature appropriated each eligible district $05 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium

No state funding is provided for physical plant operations and maintenance or for facilities that is supported by local tax eff ort

Three community colleges receive weighted semester credit hour formula funding for a Bachelor of Applied Technology degree program

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

Th e Eighty-first Legislature 2009 provided $153 million in General Revenue formula hold harmless funding for aff ected community colleges to minimize the effect of reduced formula funding as a result of overall contact hour declines The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not provide any hold harmless funding in the 2012ndash13 biennium

Property taxes tuition and fees are other major sources of revenue for community colleges Figure 21 illustrates the estimated sources of funding for community colleges Th e state appropriations in Figure 21 include all formula special item Higher Education Group Insurance appropriations and retirement benefi t appropriations

FORMULA FUNDING

The basis of the formula starts with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) Report of Fundable Operating Expenses (RFOE) (formally called the All Funds Expenditure Report) The study includes all expenditures for instruction and administration (facilities costs are not included) in 26 program areas THECB uses the expenditure data to determine the median cost in the 26 program areasmdashthe ldquoratesrdquo for contact hours in those disciplines THECB then makes a recommendation for

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

funding based on the rates Over the years THECB has used various methodologies as the basis for its funding recommendations Because the RFOE takes into account all funds (state appropriations plus tuition and tax revenue which are not appropriated) THECBrsquos recommendation for state funding has generally not equaled 100 percent of the rates

The amount of the appropriation is a legislative decision based on funds available The appropriation is allocated to the colleges according to each districtrsquos pro-rata share of THECB recommendations

HIGHER EDUCATION GROUP INSURANCE (HEGI)

Like state institutions of higher education community colleges receive General Revenue Fund contributions for group insurance However since community college employees are local not state employees state contributions for health benefits are fully discretionary Other agencies and institutions of higher education report employee eligibility for General Revenue-funded group health insurance benefi ts only if the employeersquos salary is directly paid with General Revenue Funds However in the past community colleges tended to base eligibility for General Revenue-funded benefits if the employeersquos job function fell under an approved ldquoelement of costrdquo This practice caused community colleges to report eligibility for state funded health benefits in a manner that did not always match the source of the employeersquos salary

This practice led to the Governorrsquos veto of the Group Health Insurance appropriation for fiscal year 2009 ($154 million) at the end of the Eightieth Legislative session However an agreement to restore the vetoed funds was reached and returned directly to the districts in House Bill 4586 Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009

The Eight-Second Legislature 2011 allowed community colleges to receive General Revenue Fund contributions for employees whose job function fell under an approved ldquoelement of costrdquo However the Legislature only funded 42 percent of the premium costs for these employees

OTHER STAFF BENEFITS

Appropriations for retirement contributions are included under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) bill patterns Some higher education employees primarily faculty and certain administrators are eligible for ORP a defi ned contribution plan similar to a 401k Other higher education employees

participate in TRS a defi ned benefit plan In both instances the state funds retirement contributions equal 60 and 64 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal year 2012 and fi scal year 2013 respectively (These appropriation amounts are not included in Figure 2 on page 3)

DRAMATIC ENROLLMENT GROWTH

Since the 1996ndash97 biennium public community colleges have received ldquoDramatic Enrollment Growth Fundingrdquo For the 2000ndash01 biennium this was expanded to include Texas State Technical Colleges and Lamar State Colleges (Lamars) The appropriation was made to THECB Rider 13 page IIIshy53 General Appropriations Act (2010ndash11 Biennium) provided guidelines for distributing this funding

For the 2010ndash11 biennium THECB is authorized to allocate up to $175 million per year to schools experiencing a growth rate of five percent or greater in 2010 and eight percent or greater in 2011 The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not provide any dramatic enrollment growth funding in the 2012-13 biennium

OTHER TRUSTEED FUNDS

Students at community colleges also benefi t from Texas Educational Opportunity Grants the student fi nancial aid program appropriation that is allocated by THECB

TEXAS STATE TECHNICAL COLLEGE LAMAR STATE COLLEGES The Texas State Technical Colleges (TSTC) and Lamar State Colleges are allocated a majority of their appropriation via two formulas the Instruction and Administration Formula for two-year institutions and the Infrastructure Formula for general academic institutions Similar to general academic institutions the tuition revenue for these colleges is included in the appropriations bill

Contact hours for vocationaltechnical courses represent approximately 61 percent of total contact hours at the Lamar State Colleges and 72 percent at TSTC institutions Th e remaining contact hours are generated from academic and continuing education courses

Facilities funding is available from the Higher Education Fund for both TSTC and the Lamars State Colleges and both have received Tuition Revenue Bond authorizations

FUNDING TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES

There are seven research and service agencies that are administered by the Texas AampM University System Th e system agenciesrsquo missions differ from other institutions of higher education in that each system agency focuses on one or two of the three traditional missions of higher education institutions research extension and service (Figure 22)

FIGURE 22 TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES MISSIONS AND FUNCTIONS

STATUTORY AUTHORITY MISSIONFUNCTIONS

For the 2012ndash13 biennium the total direct appropriations for Texas AampM System (System) agencies are $8897 million In addition to state appropriations the System agencies receive some Federal Funds that are not included in the General Appropriations Act and have access to private funds While System agencies have significant portions of their Other Funds and Federal Funds appropriated the appropriations are estimated and actual income from these funding sources is subject to signifi cant variation

FUNDING TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES

FIGURE 23 TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES COMPARED TO INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION

SIMILARITIES

FUNDING

Both Texas AampM System (System) agencies and institutions of higher education have considerable flexibility in their budgeting and financial operations (ldquolump sumrdquo appropriations)

Both are eligible to receive proceeds from the Permanent University Fund

Both are considered to be institutions of higher education for purposes of employee group health insurance

Both System agencies and institutions of higher education generate and keep 100 percent of indirect cost recovery from research and other grants

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

OPERATIONS

Like other institutions of higher education System agencies are not required to submit operating budgets or strategic plans

Both are statutorily embedded within the Texas AampM Systemrsquos institutional framework

SOURCE Legislative Budget Board

DIFFERENCES

General academic health-related and two-year institutions receive formula funding while System agencies do not

Texas AampM System agencies do not generate revenue in the same manner or amount of other higher education institutions

Performance measures for the System agencies are agency-specific while performance measures for other higher education institutions are standardized

In several ways state funding for System agencies is similar to funding for higher education institutions System agencies have considerable flexibility in their budgeting and fi nancial operations because they receive lump-sum appropriations in the same manner as other institutions of higher education They are eligible to receive funds from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) (They were allocated $153 million from the PUF for debt service in the 2012ndash13 biennium) System agencies are also funded in the same manner as other institutions of higher education with regard to staff benefi ts including employee group health insurance contributions

However there are several funding diff erences between System agencies and other higher education institutions Most significantly System agencies do not receive formula-based funding Also while some System agencies may charge fees for their services they do not generate tuition and fees in the same manner or quantity as other institutions of higher education

As is the case with all institutions the System agencies keep 100 percent of their respective indirect cost recovery income

because this income is derived from earnings on federal grants and is held outside the treasury

For the 2012ndash13 biennium funding associated with infrastructure expenses and utilities for System agencies inside Brazos County is equal to the infrastructure rate (as determined by the General Academic formulas on page 6) for Texas AampM University

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q What are the limitations on how institutions spend state appropriations

A Generally speaking institutions have great fl exibility in spending appropriated funds however some limitations do exist depending on the source of revenue Appropriated revenue includes General Revenue Funds General Revenuendash Dedicated Funds (mostly tuition and fee income) Other Funds (including Patient Income) and Federal Funds (for certain Texas AampM System Agencies) Th e Texas Constitution (Article VII Section 18(i) and 17(j)) prohibits with limited exceptions the use of General Revenue Funds for acquiring land or for construction projects An exception occurs when the legislature by two-thirds vote in each house expressly determines that there is a demonstrated need for the project

Various provisions in the 2012ndash13 General Appropriations Act (GAA) Higher Education Special Provisions restrict state appropriations These restrictions include the following

bull Section 6 (Rider 8b) which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for auxiliary enterprises

bull Section 6 (Rider 9) which limits the use of these funds to pay debt service for statutorily authorized tuition revenue bonds Any such appropriation not spent must be returned to the General Revenue Fund at the end of the year

bull Section 9 which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for intercollegiate athletics purposes and

bull Section 54 which limits the use of the Research Development Fund to those defined in Education Code Section 62091

Q Would an increase in tuition revenue replace a corresponding amount in General Revenue Funds or would the revenue remain within the institution

A The result depends on how the Legislature responds

For instance assume that the Eight-second Legislature 2011 changed the statute to require institutions to charge nonresident tuition in circumstances where they had previously waived the nonresident tuition rate For the 2012ndash13 biennium institutions would benefit fully from the

increase in tuition revenue (This assumes the formula calculation would not include a projected increase in tuition)

However institutional appropriations in the 2014ndash15 biennium now depend on that legislation passed in the Eighty-third Legislature 2013 Assuming the same number of students (semester credit hours) enroll regardless of changes in tuition policy and that the result of charging nonresident tuition generated $100 million in additional tuition revenue there are three options

1 Reduce General Revenue Funds (GR) in the formulas by $100 million In this scenario the formula rate stays the same and every dollar increase in tuition revenue results in a dollar decrease in GRmdashinstitutional funding does not increase

2 Keep GR the same and run the additional tuition revenue through the formulas Th e formula funding rate would increase and every institution would receive more funds including those institutions that generated no additional tuition revenue

3 Keep GR formula appropriations at the same level and let individual institutions keep the additional tuition revenue they generated outside the formula allocation

Q Are all tuition and fee revenues collected by institutions of higher education included in the appropriations bill

A No None of the tuition and fee revenues collected by community colleges are appropriated

For general academic institutions an estimate of the revenue from certain tuitions and fees such as statutory tuition (Education Code 54051 Tuition Rates) board authorized tuition (Education Code 54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board) Laboratory Fees (Education Code 54501) and certain other fees are appropriated in the GAA as General Revenue FundsndashDedicated Estimated Other Educational and General Income There are a number of other tuitions and fees that are not included in the GAA and therefore not referred to as state funding Such tuitions and fees include but are not limited to designated tuition (Education Code 540513 Redesignation of Building Use Fee) and Incidental Fees (Education Code 54504) Federal

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 27

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Funds are also not appropriated to the general academic and health-related institutions

Q Is a decrease in enrollment the only reason an institution would be eligible for formula funding hold harmless

A No Each session the Legislature makes a determination of whether it will make an appropriation for formula hold harmless A decrease in total enrollment is one reason an institution could be eligible for the funding Because the semester credit hours (general academic institutions) full-time student equivalents (health-related institutions) used in the formulas are based on weights (discipline program and course level) a change in the type of student enrollment regardless of total enrollment could also make an institution eligible for hold harmless funding

Q What are Educational and General Funds

A ldquoOther Educational and General Incomerdquo is a subset of ldquoEducational and General Incomerdquo The following are included in the Education Code (51009(c)) defi nition for ldquoEducational and General Fundsrdquo net tuition special course fees charged under Education Code 54051(e) and (l) lab fees student teaching fees hospital and clinic fees organized activity fees and proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment

Q What does it mean to be a Tier One institution

A The Tier One reference is often derived from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teachingrsquos prior system for classifying institutions of higher education As part of the 1994 version of the Carnegie Classification there were four categories for doctorate granting institutions Research Universities I Research Universities II Doctoral Universities I and Doctoral Universities II ldquoTier Onerdquo was synonymous with Research Universities I Such institutions had to off er a full range of baccalaureate programs award 50 or more doctoral degrees each year and receive annually at least $40 million or more in federal research funds Two institutions in Texas (The University of Texas at Austin and Texas AampM University) met these criteria The 2000 version of the Carnegie Classification collapsed the categories for doctorate granting institutions from four to two Doctoral Research UniversitiesmdashExtensive and DoctoralResearch UniversitiesmdashIntensive Six public institutions in Texas (Texas AampM University Texas Tech University University of Houston University of North Texas The University of Texas at Arlington and The University of Texas at Austin) meet the criteria for DoctoralResearch Universitiesmdash

Extensive In 2005 however the classifi cation structure returned to a more restricted top tier of institutions classifi ed as ldquoResearch Universities (very high research activity)rdquo Both The University of Texas at Austin and Texas AampM University are now counted in this category but any reference to Tier One usually refers to the 1994 Carnegie Classifi cation

Q What is the space model What is the base number of square feet needed

A In 1992 the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approved the Space Projection Model for Higher Education Institutions in Texas for public universities to assess the net assignable square feet (NASF) of educational and general space an institution needs There are fi ve categories incorporated into the model teaching library research offi ce and support space Space needs for auxiliary purposes such as dormitories or athletics are not included in the model Square footage amounts are assigned based on a number of elements within each category including the number of students and their program levels and the amount of research expenditures The space model was fi rst incorporated into the funding formulas for general academic institutions in 1997

Q What are ldquoOrganized Activitiesrdquo

A General academic institutions have a funding strategy titled ldquoOrganized Activitiesrdquo These are activities or enterprises that are connected with instructional departments Th ey are intended primarily to give training to students Examples include a university farm nurserypreschool programs an optometry clinic and lifeguard training

Q What are tuition revenue bonds

A Established in 1971 under Education Code 5513 tuition revenue bonds are bonds (not to exceed 50 years) issued by institutions of higher education for the purpose of ldquoproviding funds to acquire purchase construct improve enlarge andor equip any property buildings structures activities services operations or other facilities for and on behalf of its institution or institutions or any branch of branches thereofrdquo Each institutionsystem is authorized and required to pay debt service on its bonds Although the authorization and issuance of the bonds is not contingent on an appropriation by the state for related debt service the Legislature has provided General Revenue Funds to reimburse institutions for costs related to debt service However in the 2004ndash05 GAA the legislature changed this practice and only provided General Revenue Fund reimbursements for interest

LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 28

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

on bonds issued after March 31 2003 The 2006ndash07 GAA renewed the practice of reimbursing institutions for the costs related to debt service The 2008ndash09 GAA and 2010-11 GAA continues this practice

Q What Is Proportionality

A Pursuant to Section 608 of Article IX of the 2012ndash13 GAA the legislative intent of proportionality is to ldquomaximize balances in the General Revenue Fundrdquo by harmonizing salary funding source with benefits funding source Th is effectively means the Legislature limits its General Revenue Fund contributions for benefits only to those employees having salaries paid with General Revenue Funds As such proportionality requires employee health and retirement benefits be paid in ldquoproportionrdquo to the funding source of salaries To this end institutions are obligated to submit the Accounting Policy Statement 011 Benefits Proportional by Fund (APS 011) report to the Comptroller Th is document provides a structure by which state and local contributions are ldquosettled uprdquo in light of the fiscal years fund proportionality

Q What Is the National Research University Fund

A In 1995 the Texas Constitution was amended to authorize the creation and funding of the Permanent Higher Education Fund (PHEF) The PHEF was intended eventually to become a permanent endowment to support non-Permanent University Fund eligible institutions However the PHEF corpus was rededicated with the voter passage of Proposition 4 which amended Article 7 of the Texas Constitution by establishing the National Research University Fund (NRUF) In 2009 Proposition 4 transferred the balance of the PHEF to the credit of the NRUF as of January 1 2010 and repealed the constitutional authorization for the PHEF

The NRUF is intended to provide a source of funding to enable emerging research universities in Texas to achieve national prominence as major research universities Article VII of the Texas Constitution authorizes the Legislature to appropriate some or all of the total return on all investment assets of the NRUF for the purposes of the fund except for two caveats (1) the Legislature may not increase distributions from the fund if the purchasing power of investment assets for any rolling 10-year period is not preserved and (2) the amount appropriated from the proceeds of the NRUF corpus in any fiscal year must be capped at 7 percent of the investment assetsrsquo average net fair market value Until the NRUF has been invested long enough to determine its purchasing power over a 10-year period the Legislature is

authorized to use other means of preserving the purchasing power of the fund

House Bill 1000 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 establishes the specific eligibility and distribution criteria for the 2012ndash13 NRUF appropriations To be eligible to receive NRUF appropriations an institution must meet two mandatory criteria and four out of six optional criteria The mandatory criteria are that the institution is designated as an emerging research university within the THECBrsquos Accountability System and that the institution reported at least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the preceding two fiscal years Optional criteria include the following possession of an endowment fund values in excess of $400 million awarding over 200 Doctor of Philosophy degrees per year having an entering freshman class of high academic achievement recognition of institutionrsquos research capability and scholarly attainment possession of a high-quality faculty and possession of high-quality graduate education programs

APPENDIX B TUITION AND FEE PROVISIONS

VTCA Texas Education Code Section 54003 states No institution of higher education may collect from students attending the institution any tuition fee or charge of any kind except as permitted by lawhellip

The laws governing tuition and fees at institutions of higher education are found in Education Code Section 54 including a limited number of rules that relate to tuition and fees charged by junior and community colleges Education Code Section 54 includes statutes regarding statewide tuition and fee authority rules regarding residency for tuition and fee purposes and various exemptions for tuition and fees from nonresidency status Also it includes specific fee authority for individual institutions Figure B1 provides a listing of tuition and fee authorizations in Education Code Section 54 but does not include the items presented below or the various exemption and waiver provisions (Details about each provision can be found at httpwwwcapitolstate txus) Th ere are isolated instances outside Chapter 54 whereby the boards of regents are authorized to charge for specific services provided to students

This appendix highlights some of the more prominent tuition and fee provisions and indicates whether the related revenue is or is not included in the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT Tuition and fee revenue included in the GAA as General Revenue DedicatedndashFunds is referenced as ldquoOther Education and General Incomerdquo The amounts are ldquoEstimatedrdquo so whatever amount of revenue generated is the actual amount available to the institution to spend

54051 Tuition Rates (statutory tuition) In conjunction with Section 540512 Interim Tuition Rates resident tuition for undergraduate students reached $50 per semester credit hour in the 2005ndash06 academic year (the 2006 state fi scal year) Tuition for nonresident students at general academic medical and dental institutions is based on the average of nonresident tuition rates in the five most populous states other than Texas The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board must make this computation each academic year

54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board (also known as board authorized tuition) Applies to graduate programs Subsection (d) specifies that it is not to be used in the GAA as an offset to General Revenue Funds It is distributed across formula strategies after the formula calculation

54501 Laboratory Fees The fee amount must be sufficient to cover the general costs of laboratory materials and supplies used by a student It is not to be less than $2 or more than $30 per semester and it must not exceed the actual cost of materials and supplies

NOT INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT 540513 Designated Tuition Statute defi nes designated tuition as an institutional fund which means the revenue is not considered part of ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo Th e governing board can waive designated tuition for a student (see 54261) Statute specifies that this revenue not be used in the GAA as a way to offset General Revenue

54503 Student Services Fees This is intended for activities which are separate from the regularly scheduled academic functions of the institution and directly involve or benefi t students Except for The University of Texas at Austin (see 54513) and components of the University of Houston System (see 545061) the maximum of all compulsory student services cannot exceed $250 per semester It is kept separate from educational and general funds

54504 Incidental Fees The governing board sets the fee which must reasonably reflect the actual cost of the materials or services for which the fee is collected Examples of unearned fees include late registration library fi nes microfilming fees thesis or doctoral manuscript reproduction or filing fees and bad check charges

5516 Board Responsibility The governing board is authorized to ldquofix and collect rentals rates and chargesrdquo

APPENDIX C GLOSSARY

APPROPRIATION METHODOLOGIES Direct Appropriation The actual appropriation either estimated or sum certain listed in that institutionrsquos portion of the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

Indirect Appropriation An appropriation made on behalf of an institution but not listed in that institutionrsquos portion of the GAA Examples include appropriations to the Available University Fund the Higher Education Fund and the Higher Education Coordinating Board all of which are ultimately allocated to institutions

Estimated Appropriation An estimated appropriation is a figure in the GAA that best reflects the information available about the revenue source but the amount available for an institution to spend is contingent on the amount of revenue actually generated If the actual amount of revenue is less than the estimated amount the institution is limited to the lower amount If more revenue is generated than the estimated amount the institution can spend the higher amount

Sum Certain Appropriation A sum certain appropriation in the GAA means that an institution is limited to spend no more than the level of appropriation noted in the institutionrsquos bill pattern in the GAA

Lump Sum Appropriation Texas Education Code Section 61059(k) calls for flexibility in funds appropriated to higher education institutions A lump sum appropriation is a single amount that is unrestricted which means that it can be used for any variety of strategies The GAA provides an ldquoInformational Listing of Appropriated Fundsrdquo below each institutionrsquos lump sum appropriation Higher education institutions are not required to spend their appropriation within specified strategies One exception to this is the Tuition Revenue Bond strategy which represents the appropriation related to debt service on related bonds and must be spent as appropriated or it is reverted to the treasury

METHODS OF FINANCE General Revenue (GR) The non-dedicated portion of the General Revenue Fund is the statersquos primary operating fund Most state tax revenue many state fees and various other sources of revenue are deposited as non-dedicated General Revenue Funds

General RevenuendashDedicated (GRndashD) This is the dedicated portion of General Revenue Funds For higher education institutions the bulk of General RevenuendashDedicated Fund appropriations consist of tuition and fee revenue generated by the institutions These include the tuition and fee revenue included as ldquoOther Educational and General Incomerdquo (defined below) ldquoboard authorized tuitionrdquo (Texas Education Code Section 54008)

Other Funds State funds not included in General Revenue Funds or General RevenuendashDedicated Funds For institutions of higher education these include the Available University Fund and Patient Income generated by health-related institutions

FUND TYPES Educational and General Income Th e Texas Education Code (51009(c)) definition for ldquoEducational and General Fundsrdquo includes (a) net tuition (b) special course fees charged under Education Code Section 54051(e) and (l) (c) lab fees (d) student teaching fees (e) hospital and clinic fees (f ) organized activity fees and (g) proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment

Institutional Funds Texas Education Code Section 51009(b) defines institutional funds as those that are not ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo An example of an institutional fund is ldquodesignated tuitionrdquo (Texas Education Code Section 540513) These funds are not included in the GAA

Local Funds Texas Education Code Section 51009(a) defines local funds as net tuition certain special course fees lab fees student teaching fees hospital and clinic fees organized activity fees proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment and indirect cost recovery fees Th is revenue is accounted for as ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo and is included in the GAA

Other Educational and General Income The GAA includes some tuition and fees collected by institutions of higher education (General RevenuendashDedicated Funds) Th e revenue from tuition and fees such as statutory tuition (see texas Education Code Section 54051 Tuition Rates) board authorized tuition (see Texas Education Code Section 54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board) Laboratory

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 37

APPENDIX C GLOSSARY

Fees (Texas Education Code Section 54501) and certain other fees are considered Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG) and are appropriated in the GAA as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds Other Educational and General Income is a subset of Educational and General Income (EampG Income)

Patient Income Health-related institutions that operate hospitals or dental clinics generate patient income from services rendered It is allocated as a method of finance to the related institution across a range of strategies in the institutionrsquos bill pattern (Other Funds) For the 2010ndash11 biennium more than $48 billion in patient income was appropriated making it the largest method of fi nance for health-related institutions

OTHER ITEMS Indirect Cost Recovery Institutions negotiate a percentage of a grant with the federal government for Indirect Costs There are a number of factors included in the calculation including building and equipment use allowance operations and maintenance general departmental and sponsored projects administration and library costs

INTRODUCTION

The Texas public higher education system encompasses 38 general academic teaching institutions (including law schools) 50 community and junior college districts one technical college system with four main campuses three lower-division state colleges and nine health-related institutions which operate a total of eight state medical schools three dental schools two pharmacy schools and other allied health and nursing units In addition there are seven agencies that are components of the Texas AampM University System

Private institutions in Texas include 38 four year colleges and universities two junior colleges one medical school and one accredited independent law school

Public institutions serve about 91 percent of the approximately 14 million students enrolled in higher education in Texas

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) was established in 1965 and is composed of nine members appointed by the Governor for staggered six-year terms THECB provides leadership and coordination for the Texas higher education system to promote excellence in higher education

THECBrsquos responsibilities include assessing Texasrsquo system of higher education and developing recommendations for

FIGURE 1 HISTORICAL SPENDING FOR HIGHER EDUCATION 2002ndash03 TO 2012ndash13 BIENNIA

improvements to the Governor the Legislature and institutions THECB reviews and recommends changes in formulas regarding the allocation of state funds to public institutions to limit duplication of academic programs and unnecessary construction projects THECB also promotes access to high quality programs at diff erent institutional levels and oversees the statersquos student financial aid programs

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 appropriated $221 billion in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) for the 2012ndash13 biennium to support Texas higher education a 25 percent decrease from the 2010ndash11 biennium (Figure 1) Figure 2 illustrates the sources of revenue also referred to as methods of finance for the $221 billion in state appropriations Generally only small portions of the Federal Funds received by institutions of higher education are reflected in the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

State funds are allocated to public institutions and agencies of higher education in a number of ways

bull direct appropriations through funding formulas and other direct appropriations based on identifi ed needs

bull indirect appropriations not made directly to an institution in its portion of the appropriations bill but used to cover costs related to the institutionrsquos staff

The $221 billion appropriation includes funds trusteed to THECB for distribution to institutions For the 2012ndash13 biennium THECB received more than $10013 million in trusteed funds The majority of these funds are allocated for student financial assistance Those remaining provide funding for the Baylor College of Medicine incentives for the general academic institutions and the Texas Research Incentive Program

groups of institutions such as general academic institutions and community colleges differ in how the Legislature allocates state appropriations For example all general academic institutions receive funding generated from Instruction and Operations and Infrastructure formulas while community colleges have one formula for Instruction and Administration

While the General Revenue Fundrsquos portion of direct appropriations to institutions is ldquosum certainrdquo the appropriation of Patient Income and Other Educational and General Income (primarily tuition) is ldquoestimatedrdquo Th is means that if patient income or tuition revenue generated by an institution is greater than the amount included in the GAA the institution can spend at a level beyond the amounts in the GAA If an institution generates less tuition revenue it must spend less

The GAA establishes a key distinction for higher education entities differentiating them from other state agencies Statute (Texas Education Code Section 61059(k)) calls for each higher education institution to receive a lump sum appropriation for base funding The GAA expands this concept and provides each higher education institution with one lump sum appropriation For each institution the GAA provides an ldquoInformational Listing of Appropriated Fundsrdquo below each institutionrsquos lump sum appropriation Th is information reflects how the state funds are ldquoallocatedrdquo not how they must be spent Higher education institutions are not bound to spend their appropriation within the specifi ed

strategy as are regular state agencies An exception to this is debt service on tuition revenue bonds Section 6 Rider 9 in the Higher Education Special Provisions GAA page III-233 limits the use of debt service to pay debt service for tuition revenue bonds Any amount of an appropriation not spent must be returned to the General Revenue Fund at the end of the fi scal year

There are some limitations on how institutions can spend appropriated funds The Texas Constitution (Article VII Section 18(i) and 17 (j)) prohibits with limited exceptions the use of General Revenue Funds for construction projects However the Texas Legislature by two-thirds vote in each house may opt to use General Revenue Funds for construction projects if there is a natural disaster or demonstrated need for the project

Also GAA (Section 6 Rider 8b) Special Provisions Relating Only to State Agencies of Higher Education (page III-233) prohibits the use of appropriated funds for auxiliary purposes such as athletics and parking Section 54 of the Special Provisions (page III-246) also restricts the use of funds in the Research Development Strategy to purposes defi ned in Texas Education Code Section 62091 Communityjunior colleges can spend General Revenue Funds only for instruction and administrative costs (Texas Education Code Section 130003(c))

This report presents the different ways that public institutions and agencies allocate state appropriations and highlights the flexibility with which these appropriations may be expended References to appropriated funds are based on the Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 2012ndash13 biennium GAA as adjusted for certain appropriations made in Article IX (General Provisions) of the GAA contingency appropriations other bills making appropriations in fi scal years 2012 and 2013 and Governor vetoes Amounts for fiscal year 2011 have been adjusted for the Supplemental Appropriations Bill House Bill 4 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 and Senate Bill 2 First Called Session 2011 Each category of institutionmdashgeneral academic health-related community and technical colleges and Texas AampM System agenciesmdashis presented separately Th e only THECB funds detailed in this report are funds that have been distributed to public institutions

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

OVERVIEW General academic institutions are listed in the Texas Education Code (61003) Figure 4 lists the institutions and their enrollments All of the institutions have common goals of instruction research and public service however each has a unique set of academic offerings and a unique regional or statewide mission

General academic institutions receive direct appropriations via funding formulas and non-formula appropriations Direct appropriations are identified in the informational strategies of each institutionrsquos bill pattern in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) As mentioned earlier appropriations are made to institutions as a lump sum Th e informational strategies reflect how state funds are ldquoallocatedrdquo not how they must be spent This means that with a few exceptions higher education entities unlike other state agencies are not required to spend appropriations within a specified funding strategy

The appropriation levels in each strategy refl ect diff erent revenue sources such as General Revenue Funds General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (mostly tuition and fee revenue) and Other Funds These revenue sources are referred to as the ldquomethod of fi nancerdquo Figure 5 illustrates the method of finance for $74 billion in appropriations for general academic institutions including a number of the indirect appropriations referenced in the next paragraph but does not include appropriations for employee retirement benefi ts

There are also appropriations that benefit institutions that are not reflected in the bill pattern of individual institutions including the Higher Education Fund the Available National Research University Fund Available University Fund certain employee benefits and funds trusteed to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB)

Figure 6 presents the percentage of funding related to each of these direct and indirect appropriations All of these appropriations are further described in the following pages

In addition general academic institutions have access to funds not reflected in the state appropriations process Examples of this include indirect cost recovery certain tuition and fees such as ldquodesignated tuitionrdquo and ldquoincidental feesrdquo (both are described in Appendix B) auxiliary operations (ie revenue from athletics student services fees bookstore and parking) and grants and gifts

FORMULA FUNDING Nearly 573 percent of state appropriations for general academic institutions are allocated via two funding formulas and two supplements Instruction and Operations Formula Teaching Experience Supplement Infrastructure Formula

and Small Institution Supplement The formulas and supplements are direct appropriations and are primarily based on enrollment

The formula appropriations consist of General Revenue Funds and some Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG) Other EampG includes specific tuition and fee revenue (see Appendix B for a listing of tuition and fee provisions) The inclusion of certain tuition and fee revenue in the formula funding calculation is referred to as an ldquoAll Funds methodologyrdquo to formula funding Th e most significant tuition revenue included in the formula calculation is tuition charged in accordance with Texas Education Code Section 54051 Interim Tuition Rates (referred to as statutory tuition) The statutory tuition rate for the 2012ndash13 academic year is $50 per semester credit hour for Texas residents Th e corresponding tuition rate for a nonresident student is the average nonresident tuition charged to a Texas resident at a public university in each of the five most populous states

Of the $40 billion allocated by the general academic formulas and supplements nearly 728 percent consists of General Revenue Funds with the remainder consisting of General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (Other EampG)

A portion of Other EampG income is set aside for specifi c purposes or allocated to non-formula based strategies in the

institutionrsquos bill pattern For example institutions set aside a portion of their tuition to provide Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) TPEG are grants designed to help students cover their tuition fees and textbook costs when these expenses exceed a certain portion of their familiesrsquo contributions to their educations This set-aside revenue is not part of the tuition and fee revenue used to calculate the funding formulas

INSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS FORMULA

About 815 percent of formula funds flow through the Instruction and Operations Formula ($32716 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) and Teaching Experience Supplement ($957 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) Th e Instruction and Operations formula is calculated as follows

Semester Credit Hours X ProgramLevel Weight X Rate (5371)

Semester credit hours (SCH) are a measurement of how many classes (and the number of students enrolled in those classes) an institution delivers The formula calculation for a biennium uses a ldquobase periodrdquo of SCH The ldquobase periodrdquo used for the 2012ndash13 biennium was the combination of summer 2010 fall 2010 and spring 2011

SCH is weighted by discipline (eg nursing is weighted more than liberal arts) and by level (ie lower and upper division masters doctoral and professional) For instance a lower division liberal arts course receives a weight of 10 A doctoral level liberal arts course receives a weight of 923 A nursing lower division course receives a weight of 203 A doctoral nursing course receives a weight of 925 Beginning with the 2006ndash07 GAA the basis for the weights per discipline was shifted to an aggregation of actual costs based on institutions Annual Financial Reports Currently THECB uses a rolling three year average to adjust the weights each biennium

THECB recommends a rate based on its recommended weights and program enhancements The legislature sets the weights and the rate in the Higher Education Special Provisions of the GAA (page III-238) In practice the legislature has set the rate based on available funding including consideration of enrollment changes and other factors Figure 7 illustrates the Instruction and Operations Formula allocation to institutions

TEACHING EXPERIENCE SUPPLEMENT

For the 2012ndash13 biennium an additional weight of ten percent is added to lower-division and upper-division semester credit hours taught by tenured and tenure-track faculty The 2012ndash13 GAA includes the following language ldquoFurthermore it is the intent of the Legislature that the weight shall increase by 10 percent per biennium up to 50 percentrdquo (Special Provisions Relating Only to State Agencies of Higher Education Sec 28 page III-238 2012ndash13 GAA)

The Teaching Experience Supplement is calculated as follows

Semester Credit Hours X ProgramLevel Weight Supplement (10) X Rate (5371)

The Teaching Experience Supplement was 5 percent during the 1998ndash99 and 2000ndash01 biennia Th e Seventy-seventh Legislature 2001 increased the supplement to the current 10 percent in 2002ndash03 biennium

INFRASTRUCTURE FORMULA

Almost 16 percent of formula funds flow through the Infrastructure Formula and Small Institution Supplement ($6768 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) In addition to

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 7

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

the universities the State Colleges and components of Texas State Technical College also receive infrastructure formula appropriations This formula uses a statewide infrastructure rate which is set in the GAA The statewide infrastructure rate is divided into two rates an Adjusted Utility Rate and an All Other Rate As with the SCH rate the legislature has set the rate based on available funding including consideration of changes in institutional space and other factors

The Infrastructure Formula is calculated as follows

(Adjusted Utility Rate + All Other Rates) X Predicted Square Feet

The Adjusted Utility Rate is 52 percent of the statewide infrastructure rate The 52 percent reflects the percentage of infrastructure formula funds that institutions historically spent on utilities A statewide utility rate is determined and then adjusted for each institution to reflect utility costs relative to other institutions

The All Other Rate is 48 percent of the statewide infrastructure rate and remains constant among institutions It accounts for physical plant grounds maintenance and custodial services

THECBrsquos Space Projection Model for Higher Education Institutions in Texas (space model) estimates square footage for each institution The objective of the space model projection is to calculate the amount of space an institution needs based on the following

bull number program and level of semester credit hours

bull number of faculty non-faculty students programs and library holdings and

bull research and current EampG expenditures

Figure 8 illustrates the Infrastructure Formula allocation to institutions The similarity of the allocation to the Instruction and Operations Formula allocation demonstrates the influence of enrollment on both formula allocations

SMALL INSTITUTION SUPPLEMENT

Prior to the Eighty-fi rst Legislature (2009) general academic institutions with enrollments of less than 5000 received a $750000 annual Small Institution Supplement However the Eighty-first Legislature increased the enrollment threshold to 10000 students and implemented a phase-out

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

Th e Eighty-first Legislature 2009 provided $414 million in General Revenue hold harmless funding for aff ected institutions to minimize the effect of reduced formula funding as a result of overall enrollment declines or declines in upper-division or graduate enrollment Decreases in formula funding could be caused by declining enrollment a shift from upper level or graduate semester credit hours to lower level hours a much smaller increase in enrollment than other institutions or a change in utility costs Th e Eighty-second Legislature 2011 provided $444 million in a hold harmless based on total General Revenue Funds (formula and non-formula) for the 2012ndash13 biennium

NON-FORMULA FUNDING

SPECIAL ITEMS

Special Item appropriations to the institutions total $4836 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium In 2012ndash13 $69 million was appropriated to system offices for special items These are direct appropriations to institutions for projects that are not funded by formula but are specifi cally identifi ed by the legislature as needing support An institution is not required to spend the amount identified in a Special Item strategy for that particular project but expenditure reports indicate that institutions often use an entire appropriation along with additional funding for the related project

The majority of special item funding is through the Institutional Enhancement strategy Institutional Enhancement is a $2204 million appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium This is a direct appropriation to institutions and was established by the Seventy-sixth Legislature 1999 for the 2000ndash01 biennium Th e fi rst Institutional Enhancement appropriation was based on a consolidation of certain Special Item appropriations in 1999 and an additional $1 million per year was appropriated for each institution Examples of consolidated special items are items that could be funded through the formulas such as general institutional academic and research support

For the 2002ndash03 biennium there was an additional $1 million increase in appropriations for most institutions and a $15 million increase for selected institutions in South Texas and the border region Institutions that benefi ted signifi cantly from the Seventy-seventh Legislaturersquos new University Research and Texas Excellence Funds (House Bill 1839 Seventy-seventh Legislature 2001) or from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) ldquoexcellence fundingrdquo did not receive an increase in Institutional Enhancement funds for the 2002ndash03 biennium

Other Special Items total $2632 million in appropriations for the 2012ndash13 biennium and include the following institutional and instructional support public service items research items other than general research support funding for separate campuses and accreditation program items

TEXAS COMPETITIVE KNOWLEDGE FUND

The Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund (TCKF) is authorized by the General Appropriations Act (GAA) (2012ndash13 Biennium) Article III Higher Education Special Provisions Section 56 The GAA prescribes that this funding will be used to support faculty for the purpose of instructional excellence and research Funding was first allocated in these strategies by the Legislature for the 2008ndash09 biennium

Current institutions receiving TCKF appropriations include The University of Texas at Austin Texas AampM University University of Houston Texas Tech University and Th e University of Texas at Dallas Institutions are allocated funding appropriated to the TCKF based on average research expenditures for the previous three-year period Th e Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 appropriated $935 million in Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund strategies directly to the institutions This funding level provides approximately $07 million to each institution for every $100 million in research expenditures In practice

when institutions have first received distributions from the fund appropriations have been reduced from the institutionrsquos special item strategies In subsequent biennia the institution continues to receive appropriations from the TCKF and the reduction in special items is not specifi cally restored

RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT FUND

The Research Development Fund was created by House Bill 3526 Seventy-eighth Legislature Regular Session 2003 and replaced the Texas Excellence and University Research Funds effective September 1 2005 The intent was to combine the Texas Excellence Fund and University Research Fund into a new fund applying a uniform allocation methodology based on a three-year average of each institutionrsquos restricted research expenditures Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature allocated $653 million (Figure 10) in the 2012ndash13 biennium to individual institutions to fund objectives identical to the Research Development Fund (Section 62091)

TEXAS RESEARCH INCENTIVE PROGRAM

Th e Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009 established the Texas Research Incentive Program (TRIP) at THECB to match state appropriations with certain gifts and endowments received by emerging research universities Th e goal of this $178 million a year program is to create more Tier One universities in Texas

PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE INITIATIVE

The Eightieth Legislature 2007 appropriated $100 million in fiscal year 2009 to THECB to establish a Higher Education Performance Incentive Initiative The funding was for ldquoimprovement in teaching and educational excellence at Texas public general academic institutionsrdquo THECB distributed $80 million for increases in degrees awarded with special weights given to critical fields and at-risk students The remaining $20 million was used to fund scholarships for students graduating in the top 10 percent of their high school class

Th e Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009 maintained the $80 million for the higher education performance incentive initiative (funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) and increased funding for the Top Ten Percent scholarship program by $34 million bringing total appropriations for the program to $54 million

There were no performance funding incentives for the 2012ndash13 biennium For the 2012ndash13 biennium $396

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 provided $444 million in General Revenue Funds hold harmless funding for aff ected institutions to minimize the effect of reduced formula and special item funding Decreases in formula funding could be caused by declining enrollment a shift from upper level or graduate semester credit hours to lower level hours a much smaller increase in enrollment that other institutions or a change in utility costs

CAPITAL FUNDS

In addition to the constitutional funds discussed in the next subsection there are three types of state appropriation for capital funds tuition revenue bonds Skiles Act revenue bonds and lease payments Almost all of the direct appropriations to institutions related to capital funds are for debt service on tuition revenue bonds

A $5931 million General Revenue Funds appropriation was made for tuition revenue bond debt service for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Tuition revenue bonds must be authorized in statute Once an authorization is made institutions issue bonds and make related debt payments with tuition revenue Th e Texas Public Finance Authority issues tuition revenue bonds for Midwestern State University Stephen F Austin University Texas Southern University and the Texas State Technical Colleges Legislative practice has been to use General Revenue Funds to reimburse institutions for the costs related to this debt service

The legislature first authorized tuition revenue bonds in 1971 In some instances the authorization was a lump sum for the benefit of specific institutions During the Seventy-eighth Legislature 2003 $2689 million in tuition revenue bonds was authorized for specific projects at various higher education institutions The Seventy-ninth Legislature Th ird Called Session 2005 adopted House Bill 153 which authorized the issuance of $1858 billion in tuition revenue bonds for forty-four different institutions Only one tuition revenue bond (House Bill 1775) was adopted by the Eightieth Legislature 2007 for a $13 million nursing building at Stephen F Austin University Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature 2009 authorized one tuition revenue bond for Texas AampM University at Galveston The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not authorize any new tuition revenue bonds

The authority for Skiles Act Revenue Bonds was repealed in 1997 It had allowed institutions to pledge up to $5 from each enrolled student for each regular semester to the payment of bonds authorized under the governing boardrsquos general authority to sell revenue bonds Institutions use their Other Educational and General Income (General Revenuendash Dedicated Funds) to pay the debt service on these previously authorized bonds This is a $10 million appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Three general academic institutions receive a $3 million General Revenue Fund appropriation for lease payments to community colleges for facilities

CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

These funds are appropriated separately in the GAA and not directly appropriated to the institutions (see Appendix D)

The Available University Fund (AUF) established in Section 18 Article VII Texas Constitution consists of the surface income and investment proceeds from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) a state endowment with land grants totaling 21 million acres

Distributions to the AUF consist of investment returns from PUF assets surface income from PUF lands and interest earned on AUF balances For the 2012ndash13 biennium investment returns were $12200 million surface income was $398 million and interest income was $59 million Income from the sale of PUF lands and the lease of mineral interest is retained in the PUF and invested

The total 2012ndash13 estimated appropriation for the AUF is $12660 million The Constitution appropriates two-thirds of the AUF to The University of Texas System and one-third to the Texas AampM University System The two systems may use the AUF for capital purposes (debt service on PUF bonds) for most of their institutions and ldquofor the support and maintenancerdquo of other institutions listed Entities authorized to receive funding for ldquosupport and maintenancerdquo which is now commonly referred to as ldquoAUF Excellence Fundingrdquo are the two system offi ces The University of Texas at Austin Texas AampM University and Prairie View AampM University The systemsrsquo boards of regents determine allocations to individual institutions including health-related institutions and the amounts for ldquoExcellencerdquo Figure 11 lists the recipients and the type of support they received

The Higher Education Fund (HEF) as authorized in Section 17 Article VII Texas Constitution benefits institutions of higher education not eligible for the AUF (see Figure 12)

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

The HEF is supported by General Revenue Fund appropriations

The distribution of the $525 million HEF appropriation for 2012ndash13 is provided for in statute (Texas Education Code Section 62021) The Constitution calls for a re-allocation of HEF funds every ten years The Seventy-ninth Legislature Regular Session fulfilled this requirement with the enactment of House Bill 3001

The Constitution also allows the legislature to adjust the decennial allocations every five years Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature Regular Session 2011 exercised this authority by enacting House Bill 51 which adjusted the formula allocation for the HEF funds for fiscal years 2009 through 2015

To maintain the equitable distribution of the HEF appropriation House Bill 51 also corrected the distribution of fiscal year 2009 and 2010 HEF allocations by using revised formula calculations Using these revised formula calculations House Bill 51 factored in updated data elements to generate the annual HEF allocations for the fi ve-year period starting in fiscal year 2011

HEF funds must be used for capital purposes Institutions may use HEF allocations for debt service on HEF bonds or as cash

In 1995 the Texas Constitution was amended to authorize the creation and funding of a dedicated HEF corpus known as the Permanent Higher Education Fund (PHEF) Th is corpus was separate from the annual HEF allocation of General Revenue Funds The PHEF was intended to become a permanent endowment to support non-PUF eligible institutions but never reached its targeted value of $2 billion

The PHEF corpus of $5159 million was rededicated with the enactment of Proposition 4 which amended Article 7 of the Texas Constitution by establishing the National Research University Fund (NRUF) The balance of the PHEF was transferred to the NRUF on January 1 2010 and the authorization for the PHEF expired Proposition 4 also allowed the legislature to appropriate some or all of the total returns from the NRUF to provide a source of funding to enable emerging research universities to achieve national prominence

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 appropriated $124 million in estimated NRUF proceeds to eligible institutions in the 2012ndash13 biennium

House Bill 1000 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 established the specific eligibility and distribution criteria for the 2012ndash13 NRUF appropriations To be eligible to receive NRUF appropriations an institution must meet two mandatory criteria and four out of six optional criteria The mandatory criteria are that the institution in designated as an emerging research university within the Higher Education Coordinating Boardrsquos Accountability System and that the institution reported at least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the preceding two fi scal years Optional criteria include the following possession of an endowment fund values in excess of $400 million awarding over 200 Doctor of Philosophy degrees per year having an entering freshman class of high academic achievement recognition of the institutions research capability and scholarly attainment possession of a high-quality faculty and possession of high-quality graduate education programs Texas Tech University and the University of Houston are the only two institutions that received funding through this program in 2012

HIGHER EDUCATION GROUP INSURANCE (HEGI)

The $4631 million General Revenue Fund appropriation for higher education group insurance (HEGI) is not a direct appropriation in the institutionsrsquo bill patterns It is appropriated in a separate section of the GAA entitled ldquoHigher Education Employees Group Insurance Contributionsrdquo This appropriation is intended to help institutions cover the cost of health insurance premiums for institution employees whose salaries are paid from the General Revenue Fund Because The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own health insurance programs they each receive separate appropriations The remaining institutions are included in the program operated by the Employees Retirement System (ERS)

The HEGI appropriation is sum-certain That is the Statersquos General Revenue Fund contributions are limited to each institutionrsquos number of employees enrolled in the health insurance program as of December 1 2012 However the GAA allows ERS The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems to transfer HEGI appropriations among institutions within their respective group insurance programs to address shortfalls in General Revenue Funds related to group insurance premiums

SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS

An appropriation for social security is included in the GAA at the end of Article III It is an estimated General Revenue

Fund appropriation to provide the employer matching funds for employees of institutions of higher education (Th is appropriation amount is not included in Figure 3 on page 2)

STAFF GROUP INSURANCE

Staff group insurance is for staff whose salaries are not paid with General Revenue Funds (GR) The appropriation is based on an estimation of the number of non-GR funded employees at an institution as of December 1 2010 Th e total appropriation for all general academic institutions is $1766 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium The method of finance is Other Educational and General Income (which is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds)

RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS

Appropriations for retirement contributions are included under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) bill patterns Some higher education employees primarily faculty and top administrators are eligible for ORP a defi ned contribution plan similar to a 401k Other higher education employees participate in TRS a defi ned benefit plan The state funds retirement contributions for TRS equal to 60 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal year 2012 and 64 percent in 2013 State contributions for ORP are equal to 60 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal years 2012 and 2013 (Th ese appropriation amounts are not included in Figure 3 on page 2)

OTHER NON-FORMULA FUNDING

WORKERSrsquo COMPENSATION

Changes in the structure of the statewide workersrsquo compensation system resulted in most institutions receiving General Revenue Fund appropriations for Workersrsquo Compensation starting in 2006ndash07 However Th e University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own workersrsquo compensation pools while all other institutions are part of the State Office of Risk Managementrsquos workersrsquo compensation pool

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

Most components of The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems have this strategy because they operate their own risk pools Th ese institutions receive General Revenue Fund appropriations for unemployment compensation insurance The appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium is $05 million in General Revenue Funds Th e Texas Workforce Commission receives an appropriation to

cover unemployment benefi ts for former state employees for all other higher education institutions

TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANTS

According to statute (Texas Education Code Chapter 56 Subchapter C and Texas Education Code Section 54051 [Statutory Tuition]) institutions must set aside a portion of tuition revenue for Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) Fifteen percent of each resident studentrsquos tuition and 3 percent of each nonresident studentrsquos tuition are set aside for financial aid to students at the institution Texas Education Code Section 56033 provides guidelines on the allocation of TPEG revenue The GAA includes an estimate of the amount of TPEG revenue each institution will generate Th is $2111 million estimated appropriation is considered Other Educational and General Income which are classifi ed as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY

Indirect costs as defined by The Comptroller of Public Accounts are ldquoincurred for a common or joint purpose benefiting more than one cost objectiverdquo Institutions negotiate a percentage of a federal grant for indirect costs There are a number of factors included in the calculation including building and equipment use allowance operations and maintenance general departmental and sponsored projects administration and library costs

The Seventy-eighth Legislature 2003 allowed universities to retain 100 percent of indirect costs income from research grants and contracts to encourage further research projects conducted by universities

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

OVERVIEW Appropriations for the nine health-related institutions are similar in structure to the appropriations for general academic institutions There are formula and non-formula funding appropriations made directly to the institutions as well as appropriations that benefit the institutions but are not included in the institutionsrsquo bill patterns such as the Available University Fund certain staff benefi ts and funds trusteed at the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) While health-related institutions do not receive appropriations from the Research Development Fund they share many other types of appropriations similar to general academic institution appropriations Th ose appropriations will be briefly restated in this section of the report Figure 13 lists the institutions and their enrollment

Like other higher education institutions the appropriations for health-related institutions are a lump sum and funding strategies are presented for informational purposes in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) The funding strategies in a health-related institutionrsquos bill pattern represent how state funds are allocated but not how they must be spent Also certain methods of finance in the appropriation are estimated This means that if for example patient income for an institution is above the amount included in the GAA

the institution can spend more than the amount listed in the GAA

Also health-related institutions have access to an estimated $109 billion outside the appropriations process in 2012ndash13 Examples of this include certain tuition revenue indirect lost recovery grants and gifts

FORMULA FUNDING The three primary funding formulas for health-related institutions are Instruction and Operations support Infrastructure support and Research Enhancement Th e University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Th e University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler have additional formula allocations to accommodate their unique missions Each health-related institution also receives formula funding for graduate medical education

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 15

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

General Revenue funding and some Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated) fund the formulas Like general academic institutions certain tuition revenue is used in the calculation of the Instruction and Operation support and Infrastructure support formulas Of the $15 billion that is allocated by the health-related institutionsrsquo primary formulas 939 percent is from the General Revenue Fund and the remaining 61 percent is from General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (tuition and fee revenue)

Some tuition and fee income is set aside for specifi c purposes Some specific amounts are unavailable for formula purposes and consequently are not a formula method of fi nance For example health-related institutions set aside a portion of their tuition to provide Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) and Medical Loans

INSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS SUPPORT FORMULA

The Instruction and Operations (IampO) support formula represents nearly 755 percent of the primary formula funds for health-related institutions ($9282 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) It is intended to fund items such as faculty salaries departmental operating expenses instructional administration and libraries It is allocated on a per full-time student equivalent (FTSE) basis with a funding weight predicated on the instructional program of the student This formula applies to all health-related

institutions except The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler which did not offer education instruction during the base period for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Figure 15 illustrates the Instruction and Operations support formula among the eight health-related institutions

The Instruction and Operations support formula is calculated as follows

(FTSE X Program Weight X $8874) + SmallMultiple Campus Supplement

FTSE is weighted by discipline For example medicine (4753) is weighted more than pharmacy (1670) Allied Health is assigned a weight of 1000

The Legislature sets the weights and the rate ($8874 adjusted for the 2012ndash13 biennium) in the Higher Education Special Provisions of the GAA (Sec 29 page III-239 and 240) The rate is calculated based on the available revenue for the formula and the number of FTSEs

Programs with enrollments less than 200 receive a Small Campus Supplement (see Figure 16)

INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT FORMULA

The Infrastructure support formula is 194 percent of the primary formula funding and is intended for utilities and physical plant support ($2383 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) This formula calculation is similar to that for general academic institutions but includes only one rate ($655) for all institutions except The University of Texas

FIGURE 17 DISTRIBUTION OF INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT FORMULA 2012ndash13 BIENNIUM

MD Anderson Cancer Center and Th e University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler which have another rate ($625)

THECBrsquos space model predicts square footage for each institution The space model projection is based on the following

bull number and level of FTE students

bull number of faculty

bull single or multiple programs and campuses

bull actual clinical space and

bull research and current EampG expenditures

Because the space projection model does not account for hospital space separate infrastructure funding for hospital space is included in the total funding for hospital and patient-care activities at The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

RESEARCH FORMULA

Health-related institutions generate state appropriations to support research through General Revenue Funds in the Research Enhancement formula ($629 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) The Research Enhancement formula accounts for 51 percent of the primary formula funds and is funded entirely from the General Revenue Fund

The allocation is based on the amount of research generated by each institution

$1412500 + (110 X Research

Expenditures)

This provides a base Institutions report for all institutions current research

regardless of research expenditures to volume THECB

Figure 18 illustrates the Research Enhancement formula allocation to the institutions among the nine health-related institutions

GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION

The Seventy-ninth Legislature 2005 established a new formula for funding graduate medical education in the 2006ndash07 GAA For 2012ndash13 the funding totals $46 million

(an additional $109 million is appropriated to the Baylor College of Medicine through the THECB) and provides $4436 per medical resident each year

Figure 19 illustrates the Graduate Medical Education formula allocation to institutions among the nine health related institutions and Baylor College of Medicine

CHEST DISEASE CENTER FORMULA

The Chest Disease Center operations formula which was established during the 2010ndash11 biennium applies only to The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler Th e University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler has a statutory mission to conduct research develop diagnostic and treatment techniques provide training and teaching programs and provide diagnosis and treatment of inpatients and outpatients with respiratory diseases The Chest Disease Center formula is based on the number of primary chest disease patients the institution served Approximately $472 million in General Revenue Funds are appropriated for the 2012ndash13 biennium

CANCER CENTER OPERATIONS FORMULA

The Eightieth Legislature 2007 established in the GAA an Operations formula for funding The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has a statutory mission to eliminate cancer through patient care research education

NON-FORMULA FUNDING

PATIENT CARE ACTIVITIES

Some institutions conduct patient care activities generally medical or dental For the 2012ndash13 biennium the estimated appropriation for Patient Income was $56 billion Th e hospital and clinic revenues earned through patient care activities are considered Other Funds which are part of Educational and General Income (not to be confused with Other Educational and General Income which is another subset of Educational and General Income) General Revenue funding supplements patient-care income to varying degrees at each institution Patient Income is an estimated appropriation and is spread across an institutionrsquos funding strategies however it is not used in the calculation of the formulas

INSTITUTIONAL ENHANCEMENT

Institutional Enhancement is a General Revenue Fund appropriation that started in the 2000ndash01 biennium It is designed to allow each institution to address its unique needs and diseconomies of scale at institutions with smaller campuses The total institutional enhancement appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium was $42 million which includes $407 million in General Revenue Funds and $16 million in Patient Income

SPECIAL ITEMS

Special items are activities that are not generally funded through the formulas and typically represent an institutionrsquos special needs or areas of expertise The $3107 million in General Revenue Funds for the 2012ndash13 biennium funds items such as residency programs academic outreach programs public service items and research items other than general research support Institutions propose and justify special items and request an amount for each on an ad hoc basis Special items generally remain constant from biennium to biennium unless the item was a one-time expense (eg tornado damage repairs) or the institution has not used the funding for the intended purpose

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

These funds are not directly appropriated to institutions in the GAA In other words these funds are not found in a strategy within an institutionrsquos bill pattern

Health-related institutions are eligible for funding from the Available University Fund ($146 million in Other Funds allocated to these institutions by system offices for the 2012ndash 13 biennium) and the Higher Education Fund ($257 million in General Revenue Funds appropriated for the 2012ndash13 biennium) which are presented in detail in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section of this report

CAPITAL FUNDS

Just like general academic institutions tuition revenue bonds ($1665 million in General Revenue Funds for related debt service in the 2012ndash13 biennium) are also used to fund capital projects at health-related institutions A detailed presentation of tuition revenue bonds is in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center also have separate appropriations for capital projects that are funded primarily with Patient Income

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Like general academic institutions health-related institutions benefit from direct and indirect state appropriations related to employee benefi ts The indirect appropriations include Higher Education Group Insurance ($2339 million in General Revenue Funds for the 2012ndash13 biennium) Retirement Contributions and Social Security Benefi ts (all presented in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section) The direct appropriations include Staff Group Insurance

For the 2012ndash13 biennium the Workersrsquo Compensation and Unemployment Compensation strategies (all presented in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section) are funded directly with General Revenue Funds and General RevenuendashDedicated Funds However The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own workersrsquo compensation pools while all other institutions are part of the State Office of Risk Managementrsquos workersrsquo compensation pool The University of Texas and Texas AampM Systems also manage their own unemployment compensation coverage while all other institutions receive coverage from

the Texas Workforce Commission which receives an appropriation to cover unemployment benefi ts

TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANTS

Health-related institutions similar to general academic institutions are subject to the Texas Education Code (sect56031 et al) provision requiring a portion of tuition revenue be set aside to fund Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) For the 2012ndash13 biennium the estimated TPEG appropriation is $188 million This revenue is considered Other Education and General Income which is classifi ed as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY

As mentioned earlier in this section Indirect Cost Recovery was removed from the GAA for the 2010ndash11 biennium however the individual institution still receives the funds

TOBACCO SETTLEMENT

House Bill 1945 Seventy-sixth Legislature 1999 established the Permanent Health Fund for health-related institutions of Higher Education the Permanent Fund for Minority Health Research and Education the Permanent Fund for Higher Education Nursing Allied Health and Other Health Related Programs and 13 permanent endowments for individual institutions of higher education The $769 million in estimated interest earnings from the endowments for 2012ndash13 (based on estimated interest earnings of 45 percent each year) were appropriated to the health-related institutions

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

OVERVIEW Public two-year lower-level institutions include 50 community and junior college districts four Texas State Technical College (TSTC) campuses and three Lamar State Colleges These institutions were appropriated $22 billion in state funding for the 2012ndash13 biennium Preliminary fall FIGURE 20 TWO-YEAR INSTITUTION FUNDING MECHANISMS 2012ndash13 BIENNIUM

2011 enrollment at these institutions totaled 789713 Figure 20 illustrates the funding mechanisms for these institutions Community colleges accounted for 983 percent of this enrollment total while the Texas State Technical and Lamar State Colleges composed the remaining portion

COMMUNITY COLLEGES

Instruction and Administration General Revenue Funds from the state are based on contact hour driven formulas for two-year institutions Tuition and fee revenues and local tax revenues augment state General Revenue Funds for these costs

Academic Courses Approximately 82 percent of the total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are academic courses

Technical Courses Approximately 18 percent of the total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are vocationaltechnical courses

Physical Plant The state provides no funding for physical plant operations and maintenance Local taxing districts are expected to provide support for physical plant needs Community colleges are projected to receive approximately $12 billion in tax income in fiscal year 2011

Facilities Local communities must provide facilities Community colleges are not eligible to receive Higher Education Fund (HEF) allocations Available University Fund allocations or state tuition revenue bonds

Employee Benefits While community college employees are locally-employed community colleges participate in the Employee Retirement System (ERS) Group Benefits Program for health benefi ts and the Teacher Retirement System(TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) for retirement benefits The state makes General Revenue Fund contributions for the health and retirement benefits

Tuition Fee Revenues Tuition and fee revenues are considered institutional funds and are not appropriated by the state Tuition rates vary by institution In 2012 the statewide tuition rates plus fees averaged $73 per semester credit hour but varied from $34 to $208 per semester credit hour

Local Tax Revenue Community Colleges are projected to receive approximately $12 billion in tax income in fiscal year 2011 Local tax revenues are expected to provide support for physical plant needs and augment state General Revenue Funds for instruction and administration costs

TSTCLAMAR COLLEGES

Instruction and Administration General Revenue Funds from the state are based on formulas for two-year institutions Tuition and fee revenues augment General Revenue Funds for these costs

Academic Courses Approximately 39 percent at the Lamar colleges and 28 percent at Texas State Technical College (TSTC) of total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are academic courses

Technical Courses Approximately 61 percent at the Lamar colleges and 72 percent at TSTC of total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are vocationaltechnical courses

Physical Plant State funding based on the formula for general academic institutions The Lamar colleges will receive approximately $71 million and TSTC will receive $157 million in General Revenue Funds for physical plant and utilities in the 2012ndash13 biennium

Facilities The Lamar colleges receive approximately $42 million annually from HEF funds and TSTC receives almost $58 million annually The HEF monies are used to acquire land construct and equip buildings provide major building repair or rehabilitation and acquire capital equipment and library materials

Employee Benefits Both the Lamar colleges and TSTC institutions participate in ERSrsquo Group Benefits Program for health benefits and the TRS and ORP programs for retirement benefits The state makes General Revenue Fund contributions for the health and retirement benefits of those employees having their salaries paid with General Revenue Funds

Tuition Fee Revenues Certain tuition revenue is appropriated by the state In 2012 for resident students average tuition plus fees was $139 per semester credit hour at the Lamar colleges and $150 per semester credit hour at TSTC

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 21

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

These institutions are primarily funded based on student contact hours A contact hour is a standard unit of measure that represents an hour of scheduled academic and technical instruction given to students during a semester Community and junior college districts generate almost 958 percent of the state-funded contact hours at two-year institutions TSTC components generate approximately 29 percent of the contact hours and the three Lamar State Colleges account for the 13 percent

COMMUNITY COLLEGES Over 99 percent of the direct appropriations to community colleges are from the General Revenue Fund and are generated through a funding formula The remaining direct appropriations are for isolated ldquospecial itemsrdquo including appropriations for the Southwest Collegiate Institute for the Deaf which is part of the appropriation for Howard College The Texas Education Code Section 130003(a) calls for state appropriations to public community colleges to ldquosupplement local funds for the proper support maintenance operation and improvement of those public junior colleges of Texas that meet the standards prescribed by the chapterrdquo Further Education Code Section 130003(c) indicates that state funds must be used ldquoexclusively for the purpose of paying salaries of instructional and administrative forceshellip and the purchase of supplies and materials for instructional purposesrdquo

Consistent with statute community colleges have their own Instruction and Administration Formula which is funded by General Revenue Funds and based on ldquostudent contact hoursrdquo Unlike general academic institution formulas this formula does not include tuition and fee revenue as part of the method of fi nance

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 also provided $45 million to certain districts through a new small institution supplemental formula A district is eligible for the supplement if it makes a significantly above-average effort to generate tax income while at the same time experiencing below-average tax revenue and does not have a number of contact hours that exceeds the statewide median Th e Eighty-second Legislature appropriated each eligible district $05 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium

No state funding is provided for physical plant operations and maintenance or for facilities that is supported by local tax eff ort

Three community colleges receive weighted semester credit hour formula funding for a Bachelor of Applied Technology degree program

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

Th e Eighty-first Legislature 2009 provided $153 million in General Revenue formula hold harmless funding for aff ected community colleges to minimize the effect of reduced formula funding as a result of overall contact hour declines The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not provide any hold harmless funding in the 2012ndash13 biennium

Property taxes tuition and fees are other major sources of revenue for community colleges Figure 21 illustrates the estimated sources of funding for community colleges Th e state appropriations in Figure 21 include all formula special item Higher Education Group Insurance appropriations and retirement benefi t appropriations

FORMULA FUNDING

The basis of the formula starts with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) Report of Fundable Operating Expenses (RFOE) (formally called the All Funds Expenditure Report) The study includes all expenditures for instruction and administration (facilities costs are not included) in 26 program areas THECB uses the expenditure data to determine the median cost in the 26 program areasmdashthe ldquoratesrdquo for contact hours in those disciplines THECB then makes a recommendation for

LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 22

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

funding based on the rates Over the years THECB has used various methodologies as the basis for its funding recommendations Because the RFOE takes into account all funds (state appropriations plus tuition and tax revenue which are not appropriated) THECBrsquos recommendation for state funding has generally not equaled 100 percent of the rates

The amount of the appropriation is a legislative decision based on funds available The appropriation is allocated to the colleges according to each districtrsquos pro-rata share of THECB recommendations

HIGHER EDUCATION GROUP INSURANCE (HEGI)

Like state institutions of higher education community colleges receive General Revenue Fund contributions for group insurance However since community college employees are local not state employees state contributions for health benefits are fully discretionary Other agencies and institutions of higher education report employee eligibility for General Revenue-funded group health insurance benefi ts only if the employeersquos salary is directly paid with General Revenue Funds However in the past community colleges tended to base eligibility for General Revenue-funded benefits if the employeersquos job function fell under an approved ldquoelement of costrdquo This practice caused community colleges to report eligibility for state funded health benefits in a manner that did not always match the source of the employeersquos salary

This practice led to the Governorrsquos veto of the Group Health Insurance appropriation for fiscal year 2009 ($154 million) at the end of the Eightieth Legislative session However an agreement to restore the vetoed funds was reached and returned directly to the districts in House Bill 4586 Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009

The Eight-Second Legislature 2011 allowed community colleges to receive General Revenue Fund contributions for employees whose job function fell under an approved ldquoelement of costrdquo However the Legislature only funded 42 percent of the premium costs for these employees

OTHER STAFF BENEFITS

Appropriations for retirement contributions are included under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) bill patterns Some higher education employees primarily faculty and certain administrators are eligible for ORP a defi ned contribution plan similar to a 401k Other higher education employees

participate in TRS a defi ned benefit plan In both instances the state funds retirement contributions equal 60 and 64 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal year 2012 and fi scal year 2013 respectively (These appropriation amounts are not included in Figure 2 on page 3)

DRAMATIC ENROLLMENT GROWTH

Since the 1996ndash97 biennium public community colleges have received ldquoDramatic Enrollment Growth Fundingrdquo For the 2000ndash01 biennium this was expanded to include Texas State Technical Colleges and Lamar State Colleges (Lamars) The appropriation was made to THECB Rider 13 page IIIshy53 General Appropriations Act (2010ndash11 Biennium) provided guidelines for distributing this funding

For the 2010ndash11 biennium THECB is authorized to allocate up to $175 million per year to schools experiencing a growth rate of five percent or greater in 2010 and eight percent or greater in 2011 The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not provide any dramatic enrollment growth funding in the 2012-13 biennium

OTHER TRUSTEED FUNDS

Students at community colleges also benefi t from Texas Educational Opportunity Grants the student fi nancial aid program appropriation that is allocated by THECB

TEXAS STATE TECHNICAL COLLEGE LAMAR STATE COLLEGES The Texas State Technical Colleges (TSTC) and Lamar State Colleges are allocated a majority of their appropriation via two formulas the Instruction and Administration Formula for two-year institutions and the Infrastructure Formula for general academic institutions Similar to general academic institutions the tuition revenue for these colleges is included in the appropriations bill

Contact hours for vocationaltechnical courses represent approximately 61 percent of total contact hours at the Lamar State Colleges and 72 percent at TSTC institutions Th e remaining contact hours are generated from academic and continuing education courses

FUNDING TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES

FIGURE 23 TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES COMPARED TO INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION

SIMILARITIES

FUNDING

Both Texas AampM System (System) agencies and institutions of higher education have considerable flexibility in their budgeting and financial operations (ldquolump sumrdquo appropriations)

Both are eligible to receive proceeds from the Permanent University Fund

Both are considered to be institutions of higher education for purposes of employee group health insurance

Both System agencies and institutions of higher education generate and keep 100 percent of indirect cost recovery from research and other grants

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

OPERATIONS

Like other institutions of higher education System agencies are not required to submit operating budgets or strategic plans

Both are statutorily embedded within the Texas AampM Systemrsquos institutional framework

SOURCE Legislative Budget Board

DIFFERENCES

General academic health-related and two-year institutions receive formula funding while System agencies do not

Texas AampM System agencies do not generate revenue in the same manner or amount of other higher education institutions

Performance measures for the System agencies are agency-specific while performance measures for other higher education institutions are standardized

In several ways state funding for System agencies is similar to funding for higher education institutions System agencies have considerable flexibility in their budgeting and fi nancial operations because they receive lump-sum appropriations in the same manner as other institutions of higher education They are eligible to receive funds from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) (They were allocated $153 million from the PUF for debt service in the 2012ndash13 biennium) System agencies are also funded in the same manner as other institutions of higher education with regard to staff benefi ts including employee group health insurance contributions

However there are several funding diff erences between System agencies and other higher education institutions Most significantly System agencies do not receive formula-based funding Also while some System agencies may charge fees for their services they do not generate tuition and fees in the same manner or quantity as other institutions of higher education

As is the case with all institutions the System agencies keep 100 percent of their respective indirect cost recovery income

because this income is derived from earnings on federal grants and is held outside the treasury

For the 2012ndash13 biennium funding associated with infrastructure expenses and utilities for System agencies inside Brazos County is equal to the infrastructure rate (as determined by the General Academic formulas on page 6) for Texas AampM University

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q What are the limitations on how institutions spend state appropriations

A Generally speaking institutions have great fl exibility in spending appropriated funds however some limitations do exist depending on the source of revenue Appropriated revenue includes General Revenue Funds General Revenuendash Dedicated Funds (mostly tuition and fee income) Other Funds (including Patient Income) and Federal Funds (for certain Texas AampM System Agencies) Th e Texas Constitution (Article VII Section 18(i) and 17(j)) prohibits with limited exceptions the use of General Revenue Funds for acquiring land or for construction projects An exception occurs when the legislature by two-thirds vote in each house expressly determines that there is a demonstrated need for the project

Various provisions in the 2012ndash13 General Appropriations Act (GAA) Higher Education Special Provisions restrict state appropriations These restrictions include the following

bull Section 6 (Rider 8b) which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for auxiliary enterprises

bull Section 6 (Rider 9) which limits the use of these funds to pay debt service for statutorily authorized tuition revenue bonds Any such appropriation not spent must be returned to the General Revenue Fund at the end of the year

bull Section 9 which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for intercollegiate athletics purposes and

bull Section 54 which limits the use of the Research Development Fund to those defined in Education Code Section 62091

Q Would an increase in tuition revenue replace a corresponding amount in General Revenue Funds or would the revenue remain within the institution

A The result depends on how the Legislature responds

For instance assume that the Eight-second Legislature 2011 changed the statute to require institutions to charge nonresident tuition in circumstances where they had previously waived the nonresident tuition rate For the 2012ndash13 biennium institutions would benefit fully from the

increase in tuition revenue (This assumes the formula calculation would not include a projected increase in tuition)

However institutional appropriations in the 2014ndash15 biennium now depend on that legislation passed in the Eighty-third Legislature 2013 Assuming the same number of students (semester credit hours) enroll regardless of changes in tuition policy and that the result of charging nonresident tuition generated $100 million in additional tuition revenue there are three options

1 Reduce General Revenue Funds (GR) in the formulas by $100 million In this scenario the formula rate stays the same and every dollar increase in tuition revenue results in a dollar decrease in GRmdashinstitutional funding does not increase

2 Keep GR the same and run the additional tuition revenue through the formulas Th e formula funding rate would increase and every institution would receive more funds including those institutions that generated no additional tuition revenue

3 Keep GR formula appropriations at the same level and let individual institutions keep the additional tuition revenue they generated outside the formula allocation

Q Are all tuition and fee revenues collected by institutions of higher education included in the appropriations bill

A No None of the tuition and fee revenues collected by community colleges are appropriated

For general academic institutions an estimate of the revenue from certain tuitions and fees such as statutory tuition (Education Code 54051 Tuition Rates) board authorized tuition (Education Code 54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board) Laboratory Fees (Education Code 54501) and certain other fees are appropriated in the GAA as General Revenue FundsndashDedicated Estimated Other Educational and General Income There are a number of other tuitions and fees that are not included in the GAA and therefore not referred to as state funding Such tuitions and fees include but are not limited to designated tuition (Education Code 540513 Redesignation of Building Use Fee) and Incidental Fees (Education Code 54504) Federal

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Funds are also not appropriated to the general academic and health-related institutions

Q Is a decrease in enrollment the only reason an institution would be eligible for formula funding hold harmless

A No Each session the Legislature makes a determination of whether it will make an appropriation for formula hold harmless A decrease in total enrollment is one reason an institution could be eligible for the funding Because the semester credit hours (general academic institutions) full-time student equivalents (health-related institutions) used in the formulas are based on weights (discipline program and course level) a change in the type of student enrollment regardless of total enrollment could also make an institution eligible for hold harmless funding

Q What are Educational and General Funds

Q What does it mean to be a Tier One institution

A The Tier One reference is often derived from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teachingrsquos prior system for classifying institutions of higher education As part of the 1994 version of the Carnegie Classification there were four categories for doctorate granting institutions Research Universities I Research Universities II Doctoral Universities I and Doctoral Universities II ldquoTier Onerdquo was synonymous with Research Universities I Such institutions had to off er a full range of baccalaureate programs award 50 or more doctoral degrees each year and receive annually at least $40 million or more in federal research funds Two institutions in Texas (The University of Texas at Austin and Texas AampM University) met these criteria The 2000 version of the Carnegie Classification collapsed the categories for doctorate granting institutions from four to two Doctoral Research UniversitiesmdashExtensive and DoctoralResearch UniversitiesmdashIntensive Six public institutions in Texas (Texas AampM University Texas Tech University University of Houston University of North Texas The University of Texas at Arlington and The University of Texas at Austin) meet the criteria for DoctoralResearch Universitiesmdash

Extensive In 2005 however the classifi cation structure returned to a more restricted top tier of institutions classifi ed as ldquoResearch Universities (very high research activity)rdquo Both The University of Texas at Austin and Texas AampM University are now counted in this category but any reference to Tier One usually refers to the 1994 Carnegie Classifi cation

Q What is the space model What is the base number of square feet needed

A In 1992 the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approved the Space Projection Model for Higher Education Institutions in Texas for public universities to assess the net assignable square feet (NASF) of educational and general space an institution needs There are fi ve categories incorporated into the model teaching library research offi ce and support space Space needs for auxiliary purposes such as dormitories or athletics are not included in the model Square footage amounts are assigned based on a number of elements within each category including the number of students and their program levels and the amount of research expenditures The space model was fi rst incorporated into the funding formulas for general academic institutions in 1997

Q What are ldquoOrganized Activitiesrdquo

A General academic institutions have a funding strategy titled ldquoOrganized Activitiesrdquo These are activities or enterprises that are connected with instructional departments Th ey are intended primarily to give training to students Examples include a university farm nurserypreschool programs an optometry clinic and lifeguard training

Q What are tuition revenue bonds

A Established in 1971 under Education Code 5513 tuition revenue bonds are bonds (not to exceed 50 years) issued by institutions of higher education for the purpose of ldquoproviding funds to acquire purchase construct improve enlarge andor equip any property buildings structures activities services operations or other facilities for and on behalf of its institution or institutions or any branch of branches thereofrdquo Each institutionsystem is authorized and required to pay debt service on its bonds Although the authorization and issuance of the bonds is not contingent on an appropriation by the state for related debt service the Legislature has provided General Revenue Funds to reimburse institutions for costs related to debt service However in the 2004ndash05 GAA the legislature changed this practice and only provided General Revenue Fund reimbursements for interest

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

on bonds issued after March 31 2003 The 2006ndash07 GAA renewed the practice of reimbursing institutions for the costs related to debt service The 2008ndash09 GAA and 2010-11 GAA continues this practice

Q What Is Proportionality

A Pursuant to Section 608 of Article IX of the 2012ndash13 GAA the legislative intent of proportionality is to ldquomaximize balances in the General Revenue Fundrdquo by harmonizing salary funding source with benefits funding source Th is effectively means the Legislature limits its General Revenue Fund contributions for benefits only to those employees having salaries paid with General Revenue Funds As such proportionality requires employee health and retirement benefits be paid in ldquoproportionrdquo to the funding source of salaries To this end institutions are obligated to submit the Accounting Policy Statement 011 Benefits Proportional by Fund (APS 011) report to the Comptroller Th is document provides a structure by which state and local contributions are ldquosettled uprdquo in light of the fiscal years fund proportionality

Q What Is the National Research University Fund

A In 1995 the Texas Constitution was amended to authorize the creation and funding of the Permanent Higher Education Fund (PHEF) The PHEF was intended eventually to become a permanent endowment to support non-Permanent University Fund eligible institutions However the PHEF corpus was rededicated with the voter passage of Proposition 4 which amended Article 7 of the Texas Constitution by establishing the National Research University Fund (NRUF) In 2009 Proposition 4 transferred the balance of the PHEF to the credit of the NRUF as of January 1 2010 and repealed the constitutional authorization for the PHEF

The NRUF is intended to provide a source of funding to enable emerging research universities in Texas to achieve national prominence as major research universities Article VII of the Texas Constitution authorizes the Legislature to appropriate some or all of the total return on all investment assets of the NRUF for the purposes of the fund except for two caveats (1) the Legislature may not increase distributions from the fund if the purchasing power of investment assets for any rolling 10-year period is not preserved and (2) the amount appropriated from the proceeds of the NRUF corpus in any fiscal year must be capped at 7 percent of the investment assetsrsquo average net fair market value Until the NRUF has been invested long enough to determine its purchasing power over a 10-year period the Legislature is

authorized to use other means of preserving the purchasing power of the fund

House Bill 1000 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 establishes the specific eligibility and distribution criteria for the 2012ndash13 NRUF appropriations To be eligible to receive NRUF appropriations an institution must meet two mandatory criteria and four out of six optional criteria The mandatory criteria are that the institution is designated as an emerging research university within the THECBrsquos Accountability System and that the institution reported at least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the preceding two fiscal years Optional criteria include the following possession of an endowment fund values in excess of $400 million awarding over 200 Doctor of Philosophy degrees per year having an entering freshman class of high academic achievement recognition of institutionrsquos research capability and scholarly attainment possession of a high-quality faculty and possession of high-quality graduate education programs

APPENDIX B TUITION AND FEE PROVISIONS

VTCA Texas Education Code Section 54003 states No institution of higher education may collect from students attending the institution any tuition fee or charge of any kind except as permitted by lawhellip

The laws governing tuition and fees at institutions of higher education are found in Education Code Section 54 including a limited number of rules that relate to tuition and fees charged by junior and community colleges Education Code Section 54 includes statutes regarding statewide tuition and fee authority rules regarding residency for tuition and fee purposes and various exemptions for tuition and fees from nonresidency status Also it includes specific fee authority for individual institutions Figure B1 provides a listing of tuition and fee authorizations in Education Code Section 54 but does not include the items presented below or the various exemption and waiver provisions (Details about each provision can be found at httpwwwcapitolstate txus) Th ere are isolated instances outside Chapter 54 whereby the boards of regents are authorized to charge for specific services provided to students

This appendix highlights some of the more prominent tuition and fee provisions and indicates whether the related revenue is or is not included in the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT Tuition and fee revenue included in the GAA as General Revenue DedicatedndashFunds is referenced as ldquoOther Education and General Incomerdquo The amounts are ldquoEstimatedrdquo so whatever amount of revenue generated is the actual amount available to the institution to spend

54051 Tuition Rates (statutory tuition) In conjunction with Section 540512 Interim Tuition Rates resident tuition for undergraduate students reached $50 per semester credit hour in the 2005ndash06 academic year (the 2006 state fi scal year) Tuition for nonresident students at general academic medical and dental institutions is based on the average of nonresident tuition rates in the five most populous states other than Texas The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board must make this computation each academic year

54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board (also known as board authorized tuition) Applies to graduate programs Subsection (d) specifies that it is not to be used in the GAA as an offset to General Revenue Funds It is distributed across formula strategies after the formula calculation

54501 Laboratory Fees The fee amount must be sufficient to cover the general costs of laboratory materials and supplies used by a student It is not to be less than $2 or more than $30 per semester and it must not exceed the actual cost of materials and supplies

NOT INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT 540513 Designated Tuition Statute defi nes designated tuition as an institutional fund which means the revenue is not considered part of ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo Th e governing board can waive designated tuition for a student (see 54261) Statute specifies that this revenue not be used in the GAA as a way to offset General Revenue

54503 Student Services Fees This is intended for activities which are separate from the regularly scheduled academic functions of the institution and directly involve or benefi t students Except for The University of Texas at Austin (see 54513) and components of the University of Houston System (see 545061) the maximum of all compulsory student services cannot exceed $250 per semester It is kept separate from educational and general funds

54504 Incidental Fees The governing board sets the fee which must reasonably reflect the actual cost of the materials or services for which the fee is collected Examples of unearned fees include late registration library fi nes microfilming fees thesis or doctoral manuscript reproduction or filing fees and bad check charges

5516 Board Responsibility The governing board is authorized to ldquofix and collect rentals rates and chargesrdquo

APPENDIX C GLOSSARY

APPROPRIATION METHODOLOGIES Direct Appropriation The actual appropriation either estimated or sum certain listed in that institutionrsquos portion of the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

Indirect Appropriation An appropriation made on behalf of an institution but not listed in that institutionrsquos portion of the GAA Examples include appropriations to the Available University Fund the Higher Education Fund and the Higher Education Coordinating Board all of which are ultimately allocated to institutions

Estimated Appropriation An estimated appropriation is a figure in the GAA that best reflects the information available about the revenue source but the amount available for an institution to spend is contingent on the amount of revenue actually generated If the actual amount of revenue is less than the estimated amount the institution is limited to the lower amount If more revenue is generated than the estimated amount the institution can spend the higher amount

Sum Certain Appropriation A sum certain appropriation in the GAA means that an institution is limited to spend no more than the level of appropriation noted in the institutionrsquos bill pattern in the GAA

Lump Sum Appropriation Texas Education Code Section 61059(k) calls for flexibility in funds appropriated to higher education institutions A lump sum appropriation is a single amount that is unrestricted which means that it can be used for any variety of strategies The GAA provides an ldquoInformational Listing of Appropriated Fundsrdquo below each institutionrsquos lump sum appropriation Higher education institutions are not required to spend their appropriation within specified strategies One exception to this is the Tuition Revenue Bond strategy which represents the appropriation related to debt service on related bonds and must be spent as appropriated or it is reverted to the treasury

METHODS OF FINANCE General Revenue (GR) The non-dedicated portion of the General Revenue Fund is the statersquos primary operating fund Most state tax revenue many state fees and various other sources of revenue are deposited as non-dedicated General Revenue Funds

General RevenuendashDedicated (GRndashD) This is the dedicated portion of General Revenue Funds For higher education institutions the bulk of General RevenuendashDedicated Fund appropriations consist of tuition and fee revenue generated by the institutions These include the tuition and fee revenue included as ldquoOther Educational and General Incomerdquo (defined below) ldquoboard authorized tuitionrdquo (Texas Education Code Section 54008)

Other Funds State funds not included in General Revenue Funds or General RevenuendashDedicated Funds For institutions of higher education these include the Available University Fund and Patient Income generated by health-related institutions

FUND TYPES Educational and General Income Th e Texas Education Code (51009(c)) definition for ldquoEducational and General Fundsrdquo includes (a) net tuition (b) special course fees charged under Education Code Section 54051(e) and (l) (c) lab fees (d) student teaching fees (e) hospital and clinic fees (f ) organized activity fees and (g) proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment

Institutional Funds Texas Education Code Section 51009(b) defines institutional funds as those that are not ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo An example of an institutional fund is ldquodesignated tuitionrdquo (Texas Education Code Section 540513) These funds are not included in the GAA

Local Funds Texas Education Code Section 51009(a) defines local funds as net tuition certain special course fees lab fees student teaching fees hospital and clinic fees organized activity fees proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment and indirect cost recovery fees Th is revenue is accounted for as ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo and is included in the GAA

Other Educational and General Income The GAA includes some tuition and fees collected by institutions of higher education (General RevenuendashDedicated Funds) Th e revenue from tuition and fees such as statutory tuition (see texas Education Code Section 54051 Tuition Rates) board authorized tuition (see Texas Education Code Section 54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board) Laboratory

APPENDIX C GLOSSARY

Fees (Texas Education Code Section 54501) and certain other fees are considered Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG) and are appropriated in the GAA as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds Other Educational and General Income is a subset of Educational and General Income (EampG Income)

Patient Income Health-related institutions that operate hospitals or dental clinics generate patient income from services rendered It is allocated as a method of finance to the related institution across a range of strategies in the institutionrsquos bill pattern (Other Funds) For the 2010ndash11 biennium more than $48 billion in patient income was appropriated making it the largest method of fi nance for health-related institutions

OTHER ITEMS Indirect Cost Recovery Institutions negotiate a percentage of a grant with the federal government for Indirect Costs There are a number of factors included in the calculation including building and equipment use allowance operations and maintenance general departmental and sponsored projects administration and library costs

groups of institutions such as general academic institutions and community colleges differ in how the Legislature allocates state appropriations For example all general academic institutions receive funding generated from Instruction and Operations and Infrastructure formulas while community colleges have one formula for Instruction and Administration

While the General Revenue Fundrsquos portion of direct appropriations to institutions is ldquosum certainrdquo the appropriation of Patient Income and Other Educational and General Income (primarily tuition) is ldquoestimatedrdquo Th is means that if patient income or tuition revenue generated by an institution is greater than the amount included in the GAA the institution can spend at a level beyond the amounts in the GAA If an institution generates less tuition revenue it must spend less

The GAA establishes a key distinction for higher education entities differentiating them from other state agencies Statute (Texas Education Code Section 61059(k)) calls for each higher education institution to receive a lump sum appropriation for base funding The GAA expands this concept and provides each higher education institution with one lump sum appropriation For each institution the GAA provides an ldquoInformational Listing of Appropriated Fundsrdquo below each institutionrsquos lump sum appropriation Th is information reflects how the state funds are ldquoallocatedrdquo not how they must be spent Higher education institutions are not bound to spend their appropriation within the specifi ed

strategy as are regular state agencies An exception to this is debt service on tuition revenue bonds Section 6 Rider 9 in the Higher Education Special Provisions GAA page III-233 limits the use of debt service to pay debt service for tuition revenue bonds Any amount of an appropriation not spent must be returned to the General Revenue Fund at the end of the fi scal year

There are some limitations on how institutions can spend appropriated funds The Texas Constitution (Article VII Section 18(i) and 17 (j)) prohibits with limited exceptions the use of General Revenue Funds for construction projects However the Texas Legislature by two-thirds vote in each house may opt to use General Revenue Funds for construction projects if there is a natural disaster or demonstrated need for the project

Also GAA (Section 6 Rider 8b) Special Provisions Relating Only to State Agencies of Higher Education (page III-233) prohibits the use of appropriated funds for auxiliary purposes such as athletics and parking Section 54 of the Special Provisions (page III-246) also restricts the use of funds in the Research Development Strategy to purposes defi ned in Texas Education Code Section 62091 Communityjunior colleges can spend General Revenue Funds only for instruction and administrative costs (Texas Education Code Section 130003(c))

This report presents the different ways that public institutions and agencies allocate state appropriations and highlights the flexibility with which these appropriations may be expended References to appropriated funds are based on the Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 2012ndash13 biennium GAA as adjusted for certain appropriations made in Article IX (General Provisions) of the GAA contingency appropriations other bills making appropriations in fi scal years 2012 and 2013 and Governor vetoes Amounts for fiscal year 2011 have been adjusted for the Supplemental Appropriations Bill House Bill 4 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 and Senate Bill 2 First Called Session 2011 Each category of institutionmdashgeneral academic health-related community and technical colleges and Texas AampM System agenciesmdashis presented separately Th e only THECB funds detailed in this report are funds that have been distributed to public institutions

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

OVERVIEW General academic institutions are listed in the Texas Education Code (61003) Figure 4 lists the institutions and their enrollments All of the institutions have common goals of instruction research and public service however each has a unique set of academic offerings and a unique regional or statewide mission

General academic institutions receive direct appropriations via funding formulas and non-formula appropriations Direct appropriations are identified in the informational strategies of each institutionrsquos bill pattern in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) As mentioned earlier appropriations are made to institutions as a lump sum Th e informational strategies reflect how state funds are ldquoallocatedrdquo not how they must be spent This means that with a few exceptions higher education entities unlike other state agencies are not required to spend appropriations within a specified funding strategy

The appropriation levels in each strategy refl ect diff erent revenue sources such as General Revenue Funds General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (mostly tuition and fee revenue) and Other Funds These revenue sources are referred to as the ldquomethod of fi nancerdquo Figure 5 illustrates the method of finance for $74 billion in appropriations for general academic institutions including a number of the indirect appropriations referenced in the next paragraph but does not include appropriations for employee retirement benefi ts

There are also appropriations that benefit institutions that are not reflected in the bill pattern of individual institutions including the Higher Education Fund the Available National Research University Fund Available University Fund certain employee benefits and funds trusteed to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB)

Figure 6 presents the percentage of funding related to each of these direct and indirect appropriations All of these appropriations are further described in the following pages

In addition general academic institutions have access to funds not reflected in the state appropriations process Examples of this include indirect cost recovery certain tuition and fees such as ldquodesignated tuitionrdquo and ldquoincidental feesrdquo (both are described in Appendix B) auxiliary operations (ie revenue from athletics student services fees bookstore and parking) and grants and gifts

FORMULA FUNDING Nearly 573 percent of state appropriations for general academic institutions are allocated via two funding formulas and two supplements Instruction and Operations Formula Teaching Experience Supplement Infrastructure Formula

and Small Institution Supplement The formulas and supplements are direct appropriations and are primarily based on enrollment

The formula appropriations consist of General Revenue Funds and some Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG) Other EampG includes specific tuition and fee revenue (see Appendix B for a listing of tuition and fee provisions) The inclusion of certain tuition and fee revenue in the formula funding calculation is referred to as an ldquoAll Funds methodologyrdquo to formula funding Th e most significant tuition revenue included in the formula calculation is tuition charged in accordance with Texas Education Code Section 54051 Interim Tuition Rates (referred to as statutory tuition) The statutory tuition rate for the 2012ndash13 academic year is $50 per semester credit hour for Texas residents Th e corresponding tuition rate for a nonresident student is the average nonresident tuition charged to a Texas resident at a public university in each of the five most populous states

Of the $40 billion allocated by the general academic formulas and supplements nearly 728 percent consists of General Revenue Funds with the remainder consisting of General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (Other EampG)

A portion of Other EampG income is set aside for specifi c purposes or allocated to non-formula based strategies in the

institutionrsquos bill pattern For example institutions set aside a portion of their tuition to provide Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) TPEG are grants designed to help students cover their tuition fees and textbook costs when these expenses exceed a certain portion of their familiesrsquo contributions to their educations This set-aside revenue is not part of the tuition and fee revenue used to calculate the funding formulas

INSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS FORMULA

About 815 percent of formula funds flow through the Instruction and Operations Formula ($32716 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) and Teaching Experience Supplement ($957 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) Th e Instruction and Operations formula is calculated as follows

Semester Credit Hours X ProgramLevel Weight X Rate (5371)

Semester credit hours (SCH) are a measurement of how many classes (and the number of students enrolled in those classes) an institution delivers The formula calculation for a biennium uses a ldquobase periodrdquo of SCH The ldquobase periodrdquo used for the 2012ndash13 biennium was the combination of summer 2010 fall 2010 and spring 2011

SCH is weighted by discipline (eg nursing is weighted more than liberal arts) and by level (ie lower and upper division masters doctoral and professional) For instance a lower division liberal arts course receives a weight of 10 A doctoral level liberal arts course receives a weight of 923 A nursing lower division course receives a weight of 203 A doctoral nursing course receives a weight of 925 Beginning with the 2006ndash07 GAA the basis for the weights per discipline was shifted to an aggregation of actual costs based on institutions Annual Financial Reports Currently THECB uses a rolling three year average to adjust the weights each biennium

THECB recommends a rate based on its recommended weights and program enhancements The legislature sets the weights and the rate in the Higher Education Special Provisions of the GAA (page III-238) In practice the legislature has set the rate based on available funding including consideration of enrollment changes and other factors Figure 7 illustrates the Instruction and Operations Formula allocation to institutions

TEACHING EXPERIENCE SUPPLEMENT

For the 2012ndash13 biennium an additional weight of ten percent is added to lower-division and upper-division semester credit hours taught by tenured and tenure-track faculty The 2012ndash13 GAA includes the following language ldquoFurthermore it is the intent of the Legislature that the weight shall increase by 10 percent per biennium up to 50 percentrdquo (Special Provisions Relating Only to State Agencies of Higher Education Sec 28 page III-238 2012ndash13 GAA)

The Teaching Experience Supplement is calculated as follows

Semester Credit Hours X ProgramLevel Weight Supplement (10) X Rate (5371)

The Teaching Experience Supplement was 5 percent during the 1998ndash99 and 2000ndash01 biennia Th e Seventy-seventh Legislature 2001 increased the supplement to the current 10 percent in 2002ndash03 biennium

INFRASTRUCTURE FORMULA

Almost 16 percent of formula funds flow through the Infrastructure Formula and Small Institution Supplement ($6768 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) In addition to

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 7

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

the universities the State Colleges and components of Texas State Technical College also receive infrastructure formula appropriations This formula uses a statewide infrastructure rate which is set in the GAA The statewide infrastructure rate is divided into two rates an Adjusted Utility Rate and an All Other Rate As with the SCH rate the legislature has set the rate based on available funding including consideration of changes in institutional space and other factors

The Infrastructure Formula is calculated as follows

(Adjusted Utility Rate + All Other Rates) X Predicted Square Feet

The Adjusted Utility Rate is 52 percent of the statewide infrastructure rate The 52 percent reflects the percentage of infrastructure formula funds that institutions historically spent on utilities A statewide utility rate is determined and then adjusted for each institution to reflect utility costs relative to other institutions

The All Other Rate is 48 percent of the statewide infrastructure rate and remains constant among institutions It accounts for physical plant grounds maintenance and custodial services

THECBrsquos Space Projection Model for Higher Education Institutions in Texas (space model) estimates square footage for each institution The objective of the space model projection is to calculate the amount of space an institution needs based on the following

bull number program and level of semester credit hours

bull number of faculty non-faculty students programs and library holdings and

bull research and current EampG expenditures

Figure 8 illustrates the Infrastructure Formula allocation to institutions The similarity of the allocation to the Instruction and Operations Formula allocation demonstrates the influence of enrollment on both formula allocations

SMALL INSTITUTION SUPPLEMENT

Prior to the Eighty-fi rst Legislature (2009) general academic institutions with enrollments of less than 5000 received a $750000 annual Small Institution Supplement However the Eighty-first Legislature increased the enrollment threshold to 10000 students and implemented a phase-out

(based on the number of students) of the supplement between 5000 and 10000 students for the 2012ndash13 biennium (see Figure 9) This supplement recognizes that institutions have a minimum cost of operation that may not be covered by funds generated through the formulas

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

Th e Eighty-first Legislature 2009 provided $414 million in General Revenue hold harmless funding for aff ected institutions to minimize the effect of reduced formula funding as a result of overall enrollment declines or declines in upper-division or graduate enrollment Decreases in formula funding could be caused by declining enrollment a shift from upper level or graduate semester credit hours to lower level hours a much smaller increase in enrollment than other institutions or a change in utility costs Th e Eighty-second Legislature 2011 provided $444 million in a hold harmless based on total General Revenue Funds (formula and non-formula) for the 2012ndash13 biennium

NON-FORMULA FUNDING

SPECIAL ITEMS

Special Item appropriations to the institutions total $4836 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium In 2012ndash13 $69 million was appropriated to system offices for special items These are direct appropriations to institutions for projects that are not funded by formula but are specifi cally identifi ed by the legislature as needing support An institution is not required to spend the amount identified in a Special Item strategy for that particular project but expenditure reports indicate that institutions often use an entire appropriation along with additional funding for the related project

The majority of special item funding is through the Institutional Enhancement strategy Institutional Enhancement is a $2204 million appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium This is a direct appropriation to institutions and was established by the Seventy-sixth Legislature 1999 for the 2000ndash01 biennium Th e fi rst Institutional Enhancement appropriation was based on a consolidation of certain Special Item appropriations in 1999 and an additional $1 million per year was appropriated for each institution Examples of consolidated special items are items that could be funded through the formulas such as general institutional academic and research support

For the 2002ndash03 biennium there was an additional $1 million increase in appropriations for most institutions and a $15 million increase for selected institutions in South Texas and the border region Institutions that benefi ted signifi cantly from the Seventy-seventh Legislaturersquos new University Research and Texas Excellence Funds (House Bill 1839 Seventy-seventh Legislature 2001) or from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) ldquoexcellence fundingrdquo did not receive an increase in Institutional Enhancement funds for the 2002ndash03 biennium

Other Special Items total $2632 million in appropriations for the 2012ndash13 biennium and include the following institutional and instructional support public service items research items other than general research support funding for separate campuses and accreditation program items

TEXAS COMPETITIVE KNOWLEDGE FUND

The Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund (TCKF) is authorized by the General Appropriations Act (GAA) (2012ndash13 Biennium) Article III Higher Education Special Provisions Section 56 The GAA prescribes that this funding will be used to support faculty for the purpose of instructional excellence and research Funding was first allocated in these strategies by the Legislature for the 2008ndash09 biennium

Current institutions receiving TCKF appropriations include The University of Texas at Austin Texas AampM University University of Houston Texas Tech University and Th e University of Texas at Dallas Institutions are allocated funding appropriated to the TCKF based on average research expenditures for the previous three-year period Th e Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 appropriated $935 million in Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund strategies directly to the institutions This funding level provides approximately $07 million to each institution for every $100 million in research expenditures In practice

when institutions have first received distributions from the fund appropriations have been reduced from the institutionrsquos special item strategies In subsequent biennia the institution continues to receive appropriations from the TCKF and the reduction in special items is not specifi cally restored

RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT FUND

The Research Development Fund was created by House Bill 3526 Seventy-eighth Legislature Regular Session 2003 and replaced the Texas Excellence and University Research Funds effective September 1 2005 The intent was to combine the Texas Excellence Fund and University Research Fund into a new fund applying a uniform allocation methodology based on a three-year average of each institutionrsquos restricted research expenditures Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature allocated $653 million (Figure 10) in the 2012ndash13 biennium to individual institutions to fund objectives identical to the Research Development Fund (Section 62091)

TEXAS RESEARCH INCENTIVE PROGRAM

Th e Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009 established the Texas Research Incentive Program (TRIP) at THECB to match state appropriations with certain gifts and endowments received by emerging research universities Th e goal of this $178 million a year program is to create more Tier One universities in Texas

PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE INITIATIVE

The Eightieth Legislature 2007 appropriated $100 million in fiscal year 2009 to THECB to establish a Higher Education Performance Incentive Initiative The funding was for ldquoimprovement in teaching and educational excellence at Texas public general academic institutionsrdquo THECB distributed $80 million for increases in degrees awarded with special weights given to critical fields and at-risk students The remaining $20 million was used to fund scholarships for students graduating in the top 10 percent of their high school class

Th e Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009 maintained the $80 million for the higher education performance incentive initiative (funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) and increased funding for the Top Ten Percent scholarship program by $34 million bringing total appropriations for the program to $54 million

There were no performance funding incentives for the 2012ndash13 biennium For the 2012ndash13 biennium $396

million is appropriated to the Top Ten Percent Scholarship Program

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 provided $444 million in General Revenue Funds hold harmless funding for aff ected institutions to minimize the effect of reduced formula and special item funding Decreases in formula funding could be caused by declining enrollment a shift from upper level or graduate semester credit hours to lower level hours a much smaller increase in enrollment that other institutions or a change in utility costs

CAPITAL FUNDS

In addition to the constitutional funds discussed in the next subsection there are three types of state appropriation for capital funds tuition revenue bonds Skiles Act revenue bonds and lease payments Almost all of the direct appropriations to institutions related to capital funds are for debt service on tuition revenue bonds

A $5931 million General Revenue Funds appropriation was made for tuition revenue bond debt service for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Tuition revenue bonds must be authorized in statute Once an authorization is made institutions issue bonds and make related debt payments with tuition revenue Th e Texas Public Finance Authority issues tuition revenue bonds for Midwestern State University Stephen F Austin University Texas Southern University and the Texas State Technical Colleges Legislative practice has been to use General Revenue Funds to reimburse institutions for the costs related to this debt service

The legislature first authorized tuition revenue bonds in 1971 In some instances the authorization was a lump sum for the benefit of specific institutions During the Seventy-eighth Legislature 2003 $2689 million in tuition revenue bonds was authorized for specific projects at various higher education institutions The Seventy-ninth Legislature Th ird Called Session 2005 adopted House Bill 153 which authorized the issuance of $1858 billion in tuition revenue bonds for forty-four different institutions Only one tuition revenue bond (House Bill 1775) was adopted by the Eightieth Legislature 2007 for a $13 million nursing building at Stephen F Austin University Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature 2009 authorized one tuition revenue bond for Texas AampM University at Galveston The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not authorize any new tuition revenue bonds

The authority for Skiles Act Revenue Bonds was repealed in 1997 It had allowed institutions to pledge up to $5 from each enrolled student for each regular semester to the payment of bonds authorized under the governing boardrsquos general authority to sell revenue bonds Institutions use their Other Educational and General Income (General Revenuendash Dedicated Funds) to pay the debt service on these previously authorized bonds This is a $10 million appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Three general academic institutions receive a $3 million General Revenue Fund appropriation for lease payments to community colleges for facilities

CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

These funds are appropriated separately in the GAA and not directly appropriated to the institutions (see Appendix D)

The Available University Fund (AUF) established in Section 18 Article VII Texas Constitution consists of the surface income and investment proceeds from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) a state endowment with land grants totaling 21 million acres

Distributions to the AUF consist of investment returns from PUF assets surface income from PUF lands and interest earned on AUF balances For the 2012ndash13 biennium investment returns were $12200 million surface income was $398 million and interest income was $59 million Income from the sale of PUF lands and the lease of mineral interest is retained in the PUF and invested

The total 2012ndash13 estimated appropriation for the AUF is $12660 million The Constitution appropriates two-thirds of the AUF to The University of Texas System and one-third to the Texas AampM University System The two systems may use the AUF for capital purposes (debt service on PUF bonds) for most of their institutions and ldquofor the support and maintenancerdquo of other institutions listed Entities authorized to receive funding for ldquosupport and maintenancerdquo which is now commonly referred to as ldquoAUF Excellence Fundingrdquo are the two system offi ces The University of Texas at Austin Texas AampM University and Prairie View AampM University The systemsrsquo boards of regents determine allocations to individual institutions including health-related institutions and the amounts for ldquoExcellencerdquo Figure 11 lists the recipients and the type of support they received

The Higher Education Fund (HEF) as authorized in Section 17 Article VII Texas Constitution benefits institutions of higher education not eligible for the AUF (see Figure 12)

The distribution of the $525 million HEF appropriation for 2012ndash13 is provided for in statute (Texas Education Code Section 62021) The Constitution calls for a re-allocation of HEF funds every ten years The Seventy-ninth Legislature Regular Session fulfilled this requirement with the enactment of House Bill 3001

The Constitution also allows the legislature to adjust the decennial allocations every five years Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature Regular Session 2011 exercised this authority by enacting House Bill 51 which adjusted the formula allocation for the HEF funds for fiscal years 2009 through 2015

To maintain the equitable distribution of the HEF appropriation House Bill 51 also corrected the distribution of fiscal year 2009 and 2010 HEF allocations by using revised formula calculations Using these revised formula calculations House Bill 51 factored in updated data elements to generate the annual HEF allocations for the fi ve-year period starting in fiscal year 2011

HEF funds must be used for capital purposes Institutions may use HEF allocations for debt service on HEF bonds or as cash

In 1995 the Texas Constitution was amended to authorize the creation and funding of a dedicated HEF corpus known as the Permanent Higher Education Fund (PHEF) Th is corpus was separate from the annual HEF allocation of General Revenue Funds The PHEF was intended to become a permanent endowment to support non-PUF eligible institutions but never reached its targeted value of $2 billion

The PHEF corpus of $5159 million was rededicated with the enactment of Proposition 4 which amended Article 7 of the Texas Constitution by establishing the National Research University Fund (NRUF) The balance of the PHEF was transferred to the NRUF on January 1 2010 and the authorization for the PHEF expired Proposition 4 also allowed the legislature to appropriate some or all of the total returns from the NRUF to provide a source of funding to enable emerging research universities to achieve national prominence

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 appropriated $124 million in estimated NRUF proceeds to eligible institutions in the 2012ndash13 biennium

House Bill 1000 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 established the specific eligibility and distribution criteria for the 2012ndash13 NRUF appropriations To be eligible to receive NRUF appropriations an institution must meet two mandatory criteria and four out of six optional criteria The mandatory criteria are that the institution in designated as an emerging research university within the Higher Education Coordinating Boardrsquos Accountability System and that the institution reported at least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the preceding two fi scal years Optional criteria include the following possession of an endowment fund values in excess of $400 million awarding over 200 Doctor of Philosophy degrees per year having an entering freshman class of high academic achievement recognition of the institutions research capability and scholarly attainment possession of a high-quality faculty and possession of high-quality graduate education programs Texas Tech University and the University of Houston are the only two institutions that received funding through this program in 2012

HIGHER EDUCATION GROUP INSURANCE (HEGI)

The $4631 million General Revenue Fund appropriation for higher education group insurance (HEGI) is not a direct appropriation in the institutionsrsquo bill patterns It is appropriated in a separate section of the GAA entitled ldquoHigher Education Employees Group Insurance Contributionsrdquo This appropriation is intended to help institutions cover the cost of health insurance premiums for institution employees whose salaries are paid from the General Revenue Fund Because The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own health insurance programs they each receive separate appropriations The remaining institutions are included in the program operated by the Employees Retirement System (ERS)

The HEGI appropriation is sum-certain That is the Statersquos General Revenue Fund contributions are limited to each institutionrsquos number of employees enrolled in the health insurance program as of December 1 2012 However the GAA allows ERS The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems to transfer HEGI appropriations among institutions within their respective group insurance programs to address shortfalls in General Revenue Funds related to group insurance premiums

SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS

An appropriation for social security is included in the GAA at the end of Article III It is an estimated General Revenue

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

Fund appropriation to provide the employer matching funds for employees of institutions of higher education (Th is appropriation amount is not included in Figure 3 on page 2)

STAFF GROUP INSURANCE

Staff group insurance is for staff whose salaries are not paid with General Revenue Funds (GR) The appropriation is based on an estimation of the number of non-GR funded employees at an institution as of December 1 2010 Th e total appropriation for all general academic institutions is $1766 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium The method of finance is Other Educational and General Income (which is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds)

RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS

Appropriations for retirement contributions are included under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) bill patterns Some higher education employees primarily faculty and top administrators are eligible for ORP a defi ned contribution plan similar to a 401k Other higher education employees participate in TRS a defi ned benefit plan The state funds retirement contributions for TRS equal to 60 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal year 2012 and 64 percent in 2013 State contributions for ORP are equal to 60 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal years 2012 and 2013 (Th ese appropriation amounts are not included in Figure 3 on page 2)

OTHER NON-FORMULA FUNDING

WORKERSrsquo COMPENSATION

Changes in the structure of the statewide workersrsquo compensation system resulted in most institutions receiving General Revenue Fund appropriations for Workersrsquo Compensation starting in 2006ndash07 However Th e University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own workersrsquo compensation pools while all other institutions are part of the State Office of Risk Managementrsquos workersrsquo compensation pool

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

Most components of The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems have this strategy because they operate their own risk pools Th ese institutions receive General Revenue Fund appropriations for unemployment compensation insurance The appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium is $05 million in General Revenue Funds Th e Texas Workforce Commission receives an appropriation to

cover unemployment benefi ts for former state employees for all other higher education institutions

TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANTS

According to statute (Texas Education Code Chapter 56 Subchapter C and Texas Education Code Section 54051 [Statutory Tuition]) institutions must set aside a portion of tuition revenue for Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) Fifteen percent of each resident studentrsquos tuition and 3 percent of each nonresident studentrsquos tuition are set aside for financial aid to students at the institution Texas Education Code Section 56033 provides guidelines on the allocation of TPEG revenue The GAA includes an estimate of the amount of TPEG revenue each institution will generate Th is $2111 million estimated appropriation is considered Other Educational and General Income which are classifi ed as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY

Indirect costs as defined by The Comptroller of Public Accounts are ldquoincurred for a common or joint purpose benefiting more than one cost objectiverdquo Institutions negotiate a percentage of a federal grant for indirect costs There are a number of factors included in the calculation including building and equipment use allowance operations and maintenance general departmental and sponsored projects administration and library costs

The Seventy-eighth Legislature 2003 allowed universities to retain 100 percent of indirect costs income from research grants and contracts to encourage further research projects conducted by universities

ORGANIZED ACTIVITIES

Organized Activities are activities or enterprises connected with instructional departments whose primary function is training for students Examples include a university farm nurserypreschool programs an optometry clinic and lifeguard training Revenue from Organized Activities is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds Other EampG Income For the 2012ndash13 biennium $503 million is appropriated for Organized Activities

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

OVERVIEW Appropriations for the nine health-related institutions are similar in structure to the appropriations for general academic institutions There are formula and non-formula funding appropriations made directly to the institutions as well as appropriations that benefit the institutions but are not included in the institutionsrsquo bill patterns such as the Available University Fund certain staff benefi ts and funds trusteed at the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) While health-related institutions do not receive appropriations from the Research Development Fund they share many other types of appropriations similar to general academic institution appropriations Th ose appropriations will be briefly restated in this section of the report Figure 13 lists the institutions and their enrollment

Like other higher education institutions the appropriations for health-related institutions are a lump sum and funding strategies are presented for informational purposes in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) The funding strategies in a health-related institutionrsquos bill pattern represent how state funds are allocated but not how they must be spent Also certain methods of finance in the appropriation are estimated This means that if for example patient income for an institution is above the amount included in the GAA

the institution can spend more than the amount listed in the GAA

Also health-related institutions have access to an estimated $109 billion outside the appropriations process in 2012ndash13 Examples of this include certain tuition revenue indirect lost recovery grants and gifts

FORMULA FUNDING The three primary funding formulas for health-related institutions are Instruction and Operations support Infrastructure support and Research Enhancement Th e University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Th e University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler have additional formula allocations to accommodate their unique missions Each health-related institution also receives formula funding for graduate medical education

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 15

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

General Revenue funding and some Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated) fund the formulas Like general academic institutions certain tuition revenue is used in the calculation of the Instruction and Operation support and Infrastructure support formulas Of the $15 billion that is allocated by the health-related institutionsrsquo primary formulas 939 percent is from the General Revenue Fund and the remaining 61 percent is from General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (tuition and fee revenue)

Some tuition and fee income is set aside for specifi c purposes Some specific amounts are unavailable for formula purposes and consequently are not a formula method of fi nance For example health-related institutions set aside a portion of their tuition to provide Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) and Medical Loans

INSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS SUPPORT FORMULA

The Instruction and Operations (IampO) support formula represents nearly 755 percent of the primary formula funds for health-related institutions ($9282 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) It is intended to fund items such as faculty salaries departmental operating expenses instructional administration and libraries It is allocated on a per full-time student equivalent (FTSE) basis with a funding weight predicated on the instructional program of the student This formula applies to all health-related

institutions except The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler which did not offer education instruction during the base period for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Figure 15 illustrates the Instruction and Operations support formula among the eight health-related institutions

The Instruction and Operations support formula is calculated as follows

(FTSE X Program Weight X $8874) + SmallMultiple Campus Supplement

FTSE is weighted by discipline For example medicine (4753) is weighted more than pharmacy (1670) Allied Health is assigned a weight of 1000

The Legislature sets the weights and the rate ($8874 adjusted for the 2012ndash13 biennium) in the Higher Education Special Provisions of the GAA (Sec 29 page III-239 and 240) The rate is calculated based on the available revenue for the formula and the number of FTSEs

Programs with enrollments less than 200 receive a Small Campus Supplement (see Figure 16)

INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT FORMULA

The Infrastructure support formula is 194 percent of the primary formula funding and is intended for utilities and physical plant support ($2383 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) This formula calculation is similar to that for general academic institutions but includes only one rate ($655) for all institutions except The University of Texas

FIGURE 17 DISTRIBUTION OF INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT FORMULA 2012ndash13 BIENNIUM

MD Anderson Cancer Center and Th e University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler which have another rate ($625)

THECBrsquos space model predicts square footage for each institution The space model projection is based on the following

bull number and level of FTE students

bull number of faculty

bull single or multiple programs and campuses

bull actual clinical space and

bull research and current EampG expenditures

Because the space projection model does not account for hospital space separate infrastructure funding for hospital space is included in the total funding for hospital and patient-care activities at The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

RESEARCH FORMULA

Health-related institutions generate state appropriations to support research through General Revenue Funds in the Research Enhancement formula ($629 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) The Research Enhancement formula accounts for 51 percent of the primary formula funds and is funded entirely from the General Revenue Fund

The allocation is based on the amount of research generated by each institution

$1412500 + (110 X Research

Expenditures)

This provides a base Institutions report for all institutions current research

regardless of research expenditures to volume THECB

Figure 18 illustrates the Research Enhancement formula allocation to the institutions among the nine health-related institutions

GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION

The Seventy-ninth Legislature 2005 established a new formula for funding graduate medical education in the 2006ndash07 GAA For 2012ndash13 the funding totals $46 million

CHEST DISEASE CENTER FORMULA

The Chest Disease Center operations formula which was established during the 2010ndash11 biennium applies only to The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler Th e University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler has a statutory mission to conduct research develop diagnostic and treatment techniques provide training and teaching programs and provide diagnosis and treatment of inpatients and outpatients with respiratory diseases The Chest Disease Center formula is based on the number of primary chest disease patients the institution served Approximately $472 million in General Revenue Funds are appropriated for the 2012ndash13 biennium

CANCER CENTER OPERATIONS FORMULA

The Eightieth Legislature 2007 established in the GAA an Operations formula for funding The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has a statutory mission to eliminate cancer through patient care research education

NON-FORMULA FUNDING

PATIENT CARE ACTIVITIES

Some institutions conduct patient care activities generally medical or dental For the 2012ndash13 biennium the estimated appropriation for Patient Income was $56 billion Th e hospital and clinic revenues earned through patient care activities are considered Other Funds which are part of Educational and General Income (not to be confused with Other Educational and General Income which is another subset of Educational and General Income) General Revenue funding supplements patient-care income to varying degrees at each institution Patient Income is an estimated appropriation and is spread across an institutionrsquos funding strategies however it is not used in the calculation of the formulas

INSTITUTIONAL ENHANCEMENT

Institutional Enhancement is a General Revenue Fund appropriation that started in the 2000ndash01 biennium It is designed to allow each institution to address its unique needs and diseconomies of scale at institutions with smaller campuses The total institutional enhancement appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium was $42 million which includes $407 million in General Revenue Funds and $16 million in Patient Income

SPECIAL ITEMS

Special items are activities that are not generally funded through the formulas and typically represent an institutionrsquos special needs or areas of expertise The $3107 million in General Revenue Funds for the 2012ndash13 biennium funds items such as residency programs academic outreach programs public service items and research items other than general research support Institutions propose and justify special items and request an amount for each on an ad hoc basis Special items generally remain constant from biennium to biennium unless the item was a one-time expense (eg tornado damage repairs) or the institution has not used the funding for the intended purpose

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

These funds are not directly appropriated to institutions in the GAA In other words these funds are not found in a strategy within an institutionrsquos bill pattern

Health-related institutions are eligible for funding from the Available University Fund ($146 million in Other Funds allocated to these institutions by system offices for the 2012ndash 13 biennium) and the Higher Education Fund ($257 million in General Revenue Funds appropriated for the 2012ndash13 biennium) which are presented in detail in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section of this report

CAPITAL FUNDS

Just like general academic institutions tuition revenue bonds ($1665 million in General Revenue Funds for related debt service in the 2012ndash13 biennium) are also used to fund capital projects at health-related institutions A detailed presentation of tuition revenue bonds is in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center also have separate appropriations for capital projects that are funded primarily with Patient Income

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Like general academic institutions health-related institutions benefit from direct and indirect state appropriations related to employee benefi ts The indirect appropriations include Higher Education Group Insurance ($2339 million in General Revenue Funds for the 2012ndash13 biennium) Retirement Contributions and Social Security Benefi ts (all presented in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section) The direct appropriations include Staff Group Insurance

For the 2012ndash13 biennium the Workersrsquo Compensation and Unemployment Compensation strategies (all presented in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section) are funded directly with General Revenue Funds and General RevenuendashDedicated Funds However The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own workersrsquo compensation pools while all other institutions are part of the State Office of Risk Managementrsquos workersrsquo compensation pool The University of Texas and Texas AampM Systems also manage their own unemployment compensation coverage while all other institutions receive coverage from

the Texas Workforce Commission which receives an appropriation to cover unemployment benefi ts

TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANTS

Health-related institutions similar to general academic institutions are subject to the Texas Education Code (sect56031 et al) provision requiring a portion of tuition revenue be set aside to fund Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) For the 2012ndash13 biennium the estimated TPEG appropriation is $188 million This revenue is considered Other Education and General Income which is classifi ed as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY

As mentioned earlier in this section Indirect Cost Recovery was removed from the GAA for the 2010ndash11 biennium however the individual institution still receives the funds

TOBACCO SETTLEMENT

House Bill 1945 Seventy-sixth Legislature 1999 established the Permanent Health Fund for health-related institutions of Higher Education the Permanent Fund for Minority Health Research and Education the Permanent Fund for Higher Education Nursing Allied Health and Other Health Related Programs and 13 permanent endowments for individual institutions of higher education The $769 million in estimated interest earnings from the endowments for 2012ndash13 (based on estimated interest earnings of 45 percent each year) were appropriated to the health-related institutions

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

OVERVIEW Public two-year lower-level institutions include 50 community and junior college districts four Texas State Technical College (TSTC) campuses and three Lamar State Colleges These institutions were appropriated $22 billion in state funding for the 2012ndash13 biennium Preliminary fall FIGURE 20 TWO-YEAR INSTITUTION FUNDING MECHANISMS 2012ndash13 BIENNIUM

2011 enrollment at these institutions totaled 789713 Figure 20 illustrates the funding mechanisms for these institutions Community colleges accounted for 983 percent of this enrollment total while the Texas State Technical and Lamar State Colleges composed the remaining portion

COMMUNITY COLLEGES

Instruction and Administration General Revenue Funds from the state are based on contact hour driven formulas for two-year institutions Tuition and fee revenues and local tax revenues augment state General Revenue Funds for these costs

Academic Courses Approximately 82 percent of the total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are academic courses

Technical Courses Approximately 18 percent of the total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are vocationaltechnical courses

Physical Plant The state provides no funding for physical plant operations and maintenance Local taxing districts are expected to provide support for physical plant needs Community colleges are projected to receive approximately $12 billion in tax income in fiscal year 2011

Facilities Local communities must provide facilities Community colleges are not eligible to receive Higher Education Fund (HEF) allocations Available University Fund allocations or state tuition revenue bonds

Employee Benefits While community college employees are locally-employed community colleges participate in the Employee Retirement System (ERS) Group Benefits Program for health benefi ts and the Teacher Retirement System(TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) for retirement benefits The state makes General Revenue Fund contributions for the health and retirement benefits

Tuition Fee Revenues Tuition and fee revenues are considered institutional funds and are not appropriated by the state Tuition rates vary by institution In 2012 the statewide tuition rates plus fees averaged $73 per semester credit hour but varied from $34 to $208 per semester credit hour

Local Tax Revenue Community Colleges are projected to receive approximately $12 billion in tax income in fiscal year 2011 Local tax revenues are expected to provide support for physical plant needs and augment state General Revenue Funds for instruction and administration costs

TSTCLAMAR COLLEGES

Instruction and Administration General Revenue Funds from the state are based on formulas for two-year institutions Tuition and fee revenues augment General Revenue Funds for these costs

Academic Courses Approximately 39 percent at the Lamar colleges and 28 percent at Texas State Technical College (TSTC) of total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are academic courses

Technical Courses Approximately 61 percent at the Lamar colleges and 72 percent at TSTC of total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are vocationaltechnical courses

Physical Plant State funding based on the formula for general academic institutions The Lamar colleges will receive approximately $71 million and TSTC will receive $157 million in General Revenue Funds for physical plant and utilities in the 2012ndash13 biennium

Facilities The Lamar colleges receive approximately $42 million annually from HEF funds and TSTC receives almost $58 million annually The HEF monies are used to acquire land construct and equip buildings provide major building repair or rehabilitation and acquire capital equipment and library materials

Employee Benefits Both the Lamar colleges and TSTC institutions participate in ERSrsquo Group Benefits Program for health benefits and the TRS and ORP programs for retirement benefits The state makes General Revenue Fund contributions for the health and retirement benefits of those employees having their salaries paid with General Revenue Funds

Tuition Fee Revenues Certain tuition revenue is appropriated by the state In 2012 for resident students average tuition plus fees was $139 per semester credit hour at the Lamar colleges and $150 per semester credit hour at TSTC

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 21

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

These institutions are primarily funded based on student contact hours A contact hour is a standard unit of measure that represents an hour of scheduled academic and technical instruction given to students during a semester Community and junior college districts generate almost 958 percent of the state-funded contact hours at two-year institutions TSTC components generate approximately 29 percent of the contact hours and the three Lamar State Colleges account for the 13 percent

COMMUNITY COLLEGES Over 99 percent of the direct appropriations to community colleges are from the General Revenue Fund and are generated through a funding formula The remaining direct appropriations are for isolated ldquospecial itemsrdquo including appropriations for the Southwest Collegiate Institute for the Deaf which is part of the appropriation for Howard College The Texas Education Code Section 130003(a) calls for state appropriations to public community colleges to ldquosupplement local funds for the proper support maintenance operation and improvement of those public junior colleges of Texas that meet the standards prescribed by the chapterrdquo Further Education Code Section 130003(c) indicates that state funds must be used ldquoexclusively for the purpose of paying salaries of instructional and administrative forceshellip and the purchase of supplies and materials for instructional purposesrdquo

Consistent with statute community colleges have their own Instruction and Administration Formula which is funded by General Revenue Funds and based on ldquostudent contact hoursrdquo Unlike general academic institution formulas this formula does not include tuition and fee revenue as part of the method of fi nance

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 also provided $45 million to certain districts through a new small institution supplemental formula A district is eligible for the supplement if it makes a significantly above-average effort to generate tax income while at the same time experiencing below-average tax revenue and does not have a number of contact hours that exceeds the statewide median Th e Eighty-second Legislature appropriated each eligible district $05 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium

No state funding is provided for physical plant operations and maintenance or for facilities that is supported by local tax eff ort

Three community colleges receive weighted semester credit hour formula funding for a Bachelor of Applied Technology degree program

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

Th e Eighty-first Legislature 2009 provided $153 million in General Revenue formula hold harmless funding for aff ected community colleges to minimize the effect of reduced formula funding as a result of overall contact hour declines The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not provide any hold harmless funding in the 2012ndash13 biennium

Property taxes tuition and fees are other major sources of revenue for community colleges Figure 21 illustrates the estimated sources of funding for community colleges Th e state appropriations in Figure 21 include all formula special item Higher Education Group Insurance appropriations and retirement benefi t appropriations

FORMULA FUNDING

The basis of the formula starts with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) Report of Fundable Operating Expenses (RFOE) (formally called the All Funds Expenditure Report) The study includes all expenditures for instruction and administration (facilities costs are not included) in 26 program areas THECB uses the expenditure data to determine the median cost in the 26 program areasmdashthe ldquoratesrdquo for contact hours in those disciplines THECB then makes a recommendation for

LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 22

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

funding based on the rates Over the years THECB has used various methodologies as the basis for its funding recommendations Because the RFOE takes into account all funds (state appropriations plus tuition and tax revenue which are not appropriated) THECBrsquos recommendation for state funding has generally not equaled 100 percent of the rates

The amount of the appropriation is a legislative decision based on funds available The appropriation is allocated to the colleges according to each districtrsquos pro-rata share of THECB recommendations

HIGHER EDUCATION GROUP INSURANCE (HEGI)

Like state institutions of higher education community colleges receive General Revenue Fund contributions for group insurance However since community college employees are local not state employees state contributions for health benefits are fully discretionary Other agencies and institutions of higher education report employee eligibility for General Revenue-funded group health insurance benefi ts only if the employeersquos salary is directly paid with General Revenue Funds However in the past community colleges tended to base eligibility for General Revenue-funded benefits if the employeersquos job function fell under an approved ldquoelement of costrdquo This practice caused community colleges to report eligibility for state funded health benefits in a manner that did not always match the source of the employeersquos salary

This practice led to the Governorrsquos veto of the Group Health Insurance appropriation for fiscal year 2009 ($154 million) at the end of the Eightieth Legislative session However an agreement to restore the vetoed funds was reached and returned directly to the districts in House Bill 4586 Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009

The Eight-Second Legislature 2011 allowed community colleges to receive General Revenue Fund contributions for employees whose job function fell under an approved ldquoelement of costrdquo However the Legislature only funded 42 percent of the premium costs for these employees

OTHER STAFF BENEFITS

Appropriations for retirement contributions are included under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) bill patterns Some higher education employees primarily faculty and certain administrators are eligible for ORP a defi ned contribution plan similar to a 401k Other higher education employees

participate in TRS a defi ned benefit plan In both instances the state funds retirement contributions equal 60 and 64 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal year 2012 and fi scal year 2013 respectively (These appropriation amounts are not included in Figure 2 on page 3)

DRAMATIC ENROLLMENT GROWTH

Since the 1996ndash97 biennium public community colleges have received ldquoDramatic Enrollment Growth Fundingrdquo For the 2000ndash01 biennium this was expanded to include Texas State Technical Colleges and Lamar State Colleges (Lamars) The appropriation was made to THECB Rider 13 page IIIshy53 General Appropriations Act (2010ndash11 Biennium) provided guidelines for distributing this funding

For the 2010ndash11 biennium THECB is authorized to allocate up to $175 million per year to schools experiencing a growth rate of five percent or greater in 2010 and eight percent or greater in 2011 The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not provide any dramatic enrollment growth funding in the 2012-13 biennium

OTHER TRUSTEED FUNDS

Students at community colleges also benefi t from Texas Educational Opportunity Grants the student fi nancial aid program appropriation that is allocated by THECB

TEXAS STATE TECHNICAL COLLEGE LAMAR STATE COLLEGES The Texas State Technical Colleges (TSTC) and Lamar State Colleges are allocated a majority of their appropriation via two formulas the Instruction and Administration Formula for two-year institutions and the Infrastructure Formula for general academic institutions Similar to general academic institutions the tuition revenue for these colleges is included in the appropriations bill

Contact hours for vocationaltechnical courses represent approximately 61 percent of total contact hours at the Lamar State Colleges and 72 percent at TSTC institutions Th e remaining contact hours are generated from academic and continuing education courses

Facilities funding is available from the Higher Education Fund for both TSTC and the Lamars State Colleges and both have received Tuition Revenue Bond authorizations

FUNDING TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES

There are seven research and service agencies that are administered by the Texas AampM University System Th e system agenciesrsquo missions differ from other institutions of higher education in that each system agency focuses on one or two of the three traditional missions of higher education institutions research extension and service (Figure 22)

FIGURE 22 TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES MISSIONS AND FUNCTIONS

STATUTORY AUTHORITY MISSIONFUNCTIONS

For the 2012ndash13 biennium the total direct appropriations for Texas AampM System (System) agencies are $8897 million In addition to state appropriations the System agencies receive some Federal Funds that are not included in the General Appropriations Act and have access to private funds While System agencies have significant portions of their Other Funds and Federal Funds appropriated the appropriations are estimated and actual income from these funding sources is subject to signifi cant variation

FUNDING TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES

FIGURE 23 TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES COMPARED TO INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION

SIMILARITIES

FUNDING

Both Texas AampM System (System) agencies and institutions of higher education have considerable flexibility in their budgeting and financial operations (ldquolump sumrdquo appropriations)

Both are eligible to receive proceeds from the Permanent University Fund

Both are considered to be institutions of higher education for purposes of employee group health insurance

Both System agencies and institutions of higher education generate and keep 100 percent of indirect cost recovery from research and other grants

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

OPERATIONS

Like other institutions of higher education System agencies are not required to submit operating budgets or strategic plans

Both are statutorily embedded within the Texas AampM Systemrsquos institutional framework

SOURCE Legislative Budget Board

DIFFERENCES

General academic health-related and two-year institutions receive formula funding while System agencies do not

Texas AampM System agencies do not generate revenue in the same manner or amount of other higher education institutions

Performance measures for the System agencies are agency-specific while performance measures for other higher education institutions are standardized

In several ways state funding for System agencies is similar to funding for higher education institutions System agencies have considerable flexibility in their budgeting and fi nancial operations because they receive lump-sum appropriations in the same manner as other institutions of higher education They are eligible to receive funds from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) (They were allocated $153 million from the PUF for debt service in the 2012ndash13 biennium) System agencies are also funded in the same manner as other institutions of higher education with regard to staff benefi ts including employee group health insurance contributions

However there are several funding diff erences between System agencies and other higher education institutions Most significantly System agencies do not receive formula-based funding Also while some System agencies may charge fees for their services they do not generate tuition and fees in the same manner or quantity as other institutions of higher education

As is the case with all institutions the System agencies keep 100 percent of their respective indirect cost recovery income

because this income is derived from earnings on federal grants and is held outside the treasury

For the 2012ndash13 biennium funding associated with infrastructure expenses and utilities for System agencies inside Brazos County is equal to the infrastructure rate (as determined by the General Academic formulas on page 6) for Texas AampM University

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q What are the limitations on how institutions spend state appropriations

A Generally speaking institutions have great fl exibility in spending appropriated funds however some limitations do exist depending on the source of revenue Appropriated revenue includes General Revenue Funds General Revenuendash Dedicated Funds (mostly tuition and fee income) Other Funds (including Patient Income) and Federal Funds (for certain Texas AampM System Agencies) Th e Texas Constitution (Article VII Section 18(i) and 17(j)) prohibits with limited exceptions the use of General Revenue Funds for acquiring land or for construction projects An exception occurs when the legislature by two-thirds vote in each house expressly determines that there is a demonstrated need for the project

Various provisions in the 2012ndash13 General Appropriations Act (GAA) Higher Education Special Provisions restrict state appropriations These restrictions include the following

bull Section 6 (Rider 8b) which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for auxiliary enterprises

bull Section 6 (Rider 9) which limits the use of these funds to pay debt service for statutorily authorized tuition revenue bonds Any such appropriation not spent must be returned to the General Revenue Fund at the end of the year

bull Section 9 which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for intercollegiate athletics purposes and

bull Section 54 which limits the use of the Research Development Fund to those defined in Education Code Section 62091

Q Would an increase in tuition revenue replace a corresponding amount in General Revenue Funds or would the revenue remain within the institution

A The result depends on how the Legislature responds

For instance assume that the Eight-second Legislature 2011 changed the statute to require institutions to charge nonresident tuition in circumstances where they had previously waived the nonresident tuition rate For the 2012ndash13 biennium institutions would benefit fully from the

increase in tuition revenue (This assumes the formula calculation would not include a projected increase in tuition)

However institutional appropriations in the 2014ndash15 biennium now depend on that legislation passed in the Eighty-third Legislature 2013 Assuming the same number of students (semester credit hours) enroll regardless of changes in tuition policy and that the result of charging nonresident tuition generated $100 million in additional tuition revenue there are three options

1 Reduce General Revenue Funds (GR) in the formulas by $100 million In this scenario the formula rate stays the same and every dollar increase in tuition revenue results in a dollar decrease in GRmdashinstitutional funding does not increase

2 Keep GR the same and run the additional tuition revenue through the formulas Th e formula funding rate would increase and every institution would receive more funds including those institutions that generated no additional tuition revenue

3 Keep GR formula appropriations at the same level and let individual institutions keep the additional tuition revenue they generated outside the formula allocation

Q Are all tuition and fee revenues collected by institutions of higher education included in the appropriations bill

A No None of the tuition and fee revenues collected by community colleges are appropriated

For general academic institutions an estimate of the revenue from certain tuitions and fees such as statutory tuition (Education Code 54051 Tuition Rates) board authorized tuition (Education Code 54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board) Laboratory Fees (Education Code 54501) and certain other fees are appropriated in the GAA as General Revenue FundsndashDedicated Estimated Other Educational and General Income There are a number of other tuitions and fees that are not included in the GAA and therefore not referred to as state funding Such tuitions and fees include but are not limited to designated tuition (Education Code 540513 Redesignation of Building Use Fee) and Incidental Fees (Education Code 54504) Federal

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 27

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Funds are also not appropriated to the general academic and health-related institutions

Q Is a decrease in enrollment the only reason an institution would be eligible for formula funding hold harmless

A No Each session the Legislature makes a determination of whether it will make an appropriation for formula hold harmless A decrease in total enrollment is one reason an institution could be eligible for the funding Because the semester credit hours (general academic institutions) full-time student equivalents (health-related institutions) used in the formulas are based on weights (discipline program and course level) a change in the type of student enrollment regardless of total enrollment could also make an institution eligible for hold harmless funding

Q What are Educational and General Funds

A ldquoOther Educational and General Incomerdquo is a subset of ldquoEducational and General Incomerdquo The following are included in the Education Code (51009(c)) defi nition for ldquoEducational and General Fundsrdquo net tuition special course fees charged under Education Code 54051(e) and (l) lab fees student teaching fees hospital and clinic fees organized activity fees and proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment

Q What does it mean to be a Tier One institution

A The Tier One reference is often derived from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teachingrsquos prior system for classifying institutions of higher education As part of the 1994 version of the Carnegie Classification there were four categories for doctorate granting institutions Research Universities I Research Universities II Doctoral Universities I and Doctoral Universities II ldquoTier Onerdquo was synonymous with Research Universities I Such institutions had to off er a full range of baccalaureate programs award 50 or more doctoral degrees each year and receive annually at least $40 million or more in federal research funds Two institutions in Texas (The University of Texas at Austin and Texas AampM University) met these criteria The 2000 version of the Carnegie Classification collapsed the categories for doctorate granting institutions from four to two Doctoral Research UniversitiesmdashExtensive and DoctoralResearch UniversitiesmdashIntensive Six public institutions in Texas (Texas AampM University Texas Tech University University of Houston University of North Texas The University of Texas at Arlington and The University of Texas at Austin) meet the criteria for DoctoralResearch Universitiesmdash

Extensive In 2005 however the classifi cation structure returned to a more restricted top tier of institutions classifi ed as ldquoResearch Universities (very high research activity)rdquo Both The University of Texas at Austin and Texas AampM University are now counted in this category but any reference to Tier One usually refers to the 1994 Carnegie Classifi cation

Q What is the space model What is the base number of square feet needed

A In 1992 the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approved the Space Projection Model for Higher Education Institutions in Texas for public universities to assess the net assignable square feet (NASF) of educational and general space an institution needs There are fi ve categories incorporated into the model teaching library research offi ce and support space Space needs for auxiliary purposes such as dormitories or athletics are not included in the model Square footage amounts are assigned based on a number of elements within each category including the number of students and their program levels and the amount of research expenditures The space model was fi rst incorporated into the funding formulas for general academic institutions in 1997

Q What are ldquoOrganized Activitiesrdquo

A General academic institutions have a funding strategy titled ldquoOrganized Activitiesrdquo These are activities or enterprises that are connected with instructional departments Th ey are intended primarily to give training to students Examples include a university farm nurserypreschool programs an optometry clinic and lifeguard training

Q What are tuition revenue bonds

A Established in 1971 under Education Code 5513 tuition revenue bonds are bonds (not to exceed 50 years) issued by institutions of higher education for the purpose of ldquoproviding funds to acquire purchase construct improve enlarge andor equip any property buildings structures activities services operations or other facilities for and on behalf of its institution or institutions or any branch of branches thereofrdquo Each institutionsystem is authorized and required to pay debt service on its bonds Although the authorization and issuance of the bonds is not contingent on an appropriation by the state for related debt service the Legislature has provided General Revenue Funds to reimburse institutions for costs related to debt service However in the 2004ndash05 GAA the legislature changed this practice and only provided General Revenue Fund reimbursements for interest

LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 28

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

on bonds issued after March 31 2003 The 2006ndash07 GAA renewed the practice of reimbursing institutions for the costs related to debt service The 2008ndash09 GAA and 2010-11 GAA continues this practice

Q What Is Proportionality

A Pursuant to Section 608 of Article IX of the 2012ndash13 GAA the legislative intent of proportionality is to ldquomaximize balances in the General Revenue Fundrdquo by harmonizing salary funding source with benefits funding source Th is effectively means the Legislature limits its General Revenue Fund contributions for benefits only to those employees having salaries paid with General Revenue Funds As such proportionality requires employee health and retirement benefits be paid in ldquoproportionrdquo to the funding source of salaries To this end institutions are obligated to submit the Accounting Policy Statement 011 Benefits Proportional by Fund (APS 011) report to the Comptroller Th is document provides a structure by which state and local contributions are ldquosettled uprdquo in light of the fiscal years fund proportionality

Q What Is the National Research University Fund

A In 1995 the Texas Constitution was amended to authorize the creation and funding of the Permanent Higher Education Fund (PHEF) The PHEF was intended eventually to become a permanent endowment to support non-Permanent University Fund eligible institutions However the PHEF corpus was rededicated with the voter passage of Proposition 4 which amended Article 7 of the Texas Constitution by establishing the National Research University Fund (NRUF) In 2009 Proposition 4 transferred the balance of the PHEF to the credit of the NRUF as of January 1 2010 and repealed the constitutional authorization for the PHEF

The NRUF is intended to provide a source of funding to enable emerging research universities in Texas to achieve national prominence as major research universities Article VII of the Texas Constitution authorizes the Legislature to appropriate some or all of the total return on all investment assets of the NRUF for the purposes of the fund except for two caveats (1) the Legislature may not increase distributions from the fund if the purchasing power of investment assets for any rolling 10-year period is not preserved and (2) the amount appropriated from the proceeds of the NRUF corpus in any fiscal year must be capped at 7 percent of the investment assetsrsquo average net fair market value Until the NRUF has been invested long enough to determine its purchasing power over a 10-year period the Legislature is

authorized to use other means of preserving the purchasing power of the fund

House Bill 1000 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 establishes the specific eligibility and distribution criteria for the 2012ndash13 NRUF appropriations To be eligible to receive NRUF appropriations an institution must meet two mandatory criteria and four out of six optional criteria The mandatory criteria are that the institution is designated as an emerging research university within the THECBrsquos Accountability System and that the institution reported at least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the preceding two fiscal years Optional criteria include the following possession of an endowment fund values in excess of $400 million awarding over 200 Doctor of Philosophy degrees per year having an entering freshman class of high academic achievement recognition of institutionrsquos research capability and scholarly attainment possession of a high-quality faculty and possession of high-quality graduate education programs

APPENDIX B TUITION AND FEE PROVISIONS

VTCA Texas Education Code Section 54003 states No institution of higher education may collect from students attending the institution any tuition fee or charge of any kind except as permitted by lawhellip

The laws governing tuition and fees at institutions of higher education are found in Education Code Section 54 including a limited number of rules that relate to tuition and fees charged by junior and community colleges Education Code Section 54 includes statutes regarding statewide tuition and fee authority rules regarding residency for tuition and fee purposes and various exemptions for tuition and fees from nonresidency status Also it includes specific fee authority for individual institutions Figure B1 provides a listing of tuition and fee authorizations in Education Code Section 54 but does not include the items presented below or the various exemption and waiver provisions (Details about each provision can be found at httpwwwcapitolstate txus) Th ere are isolated instances outside Chapter 54 whereby the boards of regents are authorized to charge for specific services provided to students

This appendix highlights some of the more prominent tuition and fee provisions and indicates whether the related revenue is or is not included in the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT Tuition and fee revenue included in the GAA as General Revenue DedicatedndashFunds is referenced as ldquoOther Education and General Incomerdquo The amounts are ldquoEstimatedrdquo so whatever amount of revenue generated is the actual amount available to the institution to spend

54051 Tuition Rates (statutory tuition) In conjunction with Section 540512 Interim Tuition Rates resident tuition for undergraduate students reached $50 per semester credit hour in the 2005ndash06 academic year (the 2006 state fi scal year) Tuition for nonresident students at general academic medical and dental institutions is based on the average of nonresident tuition rates in the five most populous states other than Texas The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board must make this computation each academic year

54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board (also known as board authorized tuition) Applies to graduate programs Subsection (d) specifies that it is not to be used in the GAA as an offset to General Revenue Funds It is distributed across formula strategies after the formula calculation

54501 Laboratory Fees The fee amount must be sufficient to cover the general costs of laboratory materials and supplies used by a student It is not to be less than $2 or more than $30 per semester and it must not exceed the actual cost of materials and supplies

NOT INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT 540513 Designated Tuition Statute defi nes designated tuition as an institutional fund which means the revenue is not considered part of ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo Th e governing board can waive designated tuition for a student (see 54261) Statute specifies that this revenue not be used in the GAA as a way to offset General Revenue

54503 Student Services Fees This is intended for activities which are separate from the regularly scheduled academic functions of the institution and directly involve or benefi t students Except for The University of Texas at Austin (see 54513) and components of the University of Houston System (see 545061) the maximum of all compulsory student services cannot exceed $250 per semester It is kept separate from educational and general funds

54504 Incidental Fees The governing board sets the fee which must reasonably reflect the actual cost of the materials or services for which the fee is collected Examples of unearned fees include late registration library fi nes microfilming fees thesis or doctoral manuscript reproduction or filing fees and bad check charges

5516 Board Responsibility The governing board is authorized to ldquofix and collect rentals rates and chargesrdquo

APPROPRIATION METHODOLOGIES Direct Appropriation The actual appropriation either estimated or sum certain listed in that institutionrsquos portion of the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

Indirect Appropriation An appropriation made on behalf of an institution but not listed in that institutionrsquos portion of the GAA Examples include appropriations to the Available University Fund the Higher Education Fund and the Higher Education Coordinating Board all of which are ultimately allocated to institutions

Estimated Appropriation An estimated appropriation is a figure in the GAA that best reflects the information available about the revenue source but the amount available for an institution to spend is contingent on the amount of revenue actually generated If the actual amount of revenue is less than the estimated amount the institution is limited to the lower amount If more revenue is generated than the estimated amount the institution can spend the higher amount

Sum Certain Appropriation A sum certain appropriation in the GAA means that an institution is limited to spend no more than the level of appropriation noted in the institutionrsquos bill pattern in the GAA

Lump Sum Appropriation Texas Education Code Section 61059(k) calls for flexibility in funds appropriated to higher education institutions A lump sum appropriation is a single amount that is unrestricted which means that it can be used for any variety of strategies The GAA provides an ldquoInformational Listing of Appropriated Fundsrdquo below each institutionrsquos lump sum appropriation Higher education institutions are not required to spend their appropriation within specified strategies One exception to this is the Tuition Revenue Bond strategy which represents the appropriation related to debt service on related bonds and must be spent as appropriated or it is reverted to the treasury

METHODS OF FINANCE General Revenue (GR) The non-dedicated portion of the General Revenue Fund is the statersquos primary operating fund Most state tax revenue many state fees and various other sources of revenue are deposited as non-dedicated General Revenue Funds

General RevenuendashDedicated (GRndashD) This is the dedicated portion of General Revenue Funds For higher education institutions the bulk of General RevenuendashDedicated Fund appropriations consist of tuition and fee revenue generated by the institutions These include the tuition and fee revenue included as ldquoOther Educational and General Incomerdquo (defined below) ldquoboard authorized tuitionrdquo (Texas Education Code Section 54008)

Other Funds State funds not included in General Revenue Funds or General RevenuendashDedicated Funds For institutions of higher education these include the Available University Fund and Patient Income generated by health-related institutions

FUND TYPES Educational and General Income Th e Texas Education Code (51009(c)) definition for ldquoEducational and General Fundsrdquo includes (a) net tuition (b) special course fees charged under Education Code Section 54051(e) and (l) (c) lab fees (d) student teaching fees (e) hospital and clinic fees (f ) organized activity fees and (g) proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment

Institutional Funds Texas Education Code Section 51009(b) defines institutional funds as those that are not ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo An example of an institutional fund is ldquodesignated tuitionrdquo (Texas Education Code Section 540513) These funds are not included in the GAA

Local Funds Texas Education Code Section 51009(a) defines local funds as net tuition certain special course fees lab fees student teaching fees hospital and clinic fees organized activity fees proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment and indirect cost recovery fees Th is revenue is accounted for as ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo and is included in the GAA

Other Educational and General Income The GAA includes some tuition and fees collected by institutions of higher education (General RevenuendashDedicated Funds) Th e revenue from tuition and fees such as statutory tuition (see texas Education Code Section 54051 Tuition Rates) board authorized tuition (see Texas Education Code Section 54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board) Laboratory

APPENDIX C GLOSSARY

Fees (Texas Education Code Section 54501) and certain other fees are considered Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG) and are appropriated in the GAA as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds Other Educational and General Income is a subset of Educational and General Income (EampG Income)

Patient Income Health-related institutions that operate hospitals or dental clinics generate patient income from services rendered It is allocated as a method of finance to the related institution across a range of strategies in the institutionrsquos bill pattern (Other Funds) For the 2010ndash11 biennium more than $48 billion in patient income was appropriated making it the largest method of fi nance for health-related institutions

OTHER ITEMS Indirect Cost Recovery Institutions negotiate a percentage of a grant with the federal government for Indirect Costs There are a number of factors included in the calculation including building and equipment use allowance operations and maintenance general departmental and sponsored projects administration and library costs

INTRODUCTION

strategy as are regular state agencies An exception to this is debt service on tuition revenue bonds Section 6 Rider 9 in the Higher Education Special Provisions GAA page III-233 limits the use of debt service to pay debt service for tuition revenue bonds Any amount of an appropriation not spent must be returned to the General Revenue Fund at the end of the fi scal year

There are some limitations on how institutions can spend appropriated funds The Texas Constitution (Article VII Section 18(i) and 17 (j)) prohibits with limited exceptions the use of General Revenue Funds for construction projects However the Texas Legislature by two-thirds vote in each house may opt to use General Revenue Funds for construction projects if there is a natural disaster or demonstrated need for the project

Also GAA (Section 6 Rider 8b) Special Provisions Relating Only to State Agencies of Higher Education (page III-233) prohibits the use of appropriated funds for auxiliary purposes such as athletics and parking Section 54 of the Special Provisions (page III-246) also restricts the use of funds in the Research Development Strategy to purposes defi ned in Texas Education Code Section 62091 Communityjunior colleges can spend General Revenue Funds only for instruction and administrative costs (Texas Education Code Section 130003(c))

This report presents the different ways that public institutions and agencies allocate state appropriations and highlights the flexibility with which these appropriations may be expended References to appropriated funds are based on the Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 2012ndash13 biennium GAA as adjusted for certain appropriations made in Article IX (General Provisions) of the GAA contingency appropriations other bills making appropriations in fi scal years 2012 and 2013 and Governor vetoes Amounts for fiscal year 2011 have been adjusted for the Supplemental Appropriations Bill House Bill 4 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 and Senate Bill 2 First Called Session 2011 Each category of institutionmdashgeneral academic health-related community and technical colleges and Texas AampM System agenciesmdashis presented separately Th e only THECB funds detailed in this report are funds that have been distributed to public institutions

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

OVERVIEW General academic institutions are listed in the Texas Education Code (61003) Figure 4 lists the institutions and their enrollments All of the institutions have common goals of instruction research and public service however each has a unique set of academic offerings and a unique regional or statewide mission

General academic institutions receive direct appropriations via funding formulas and non-formula appropriations Direct appropriations are identified in the informational strategies of each institutionrsquos bill pattern in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) As mentioned earlier appropriations are made to institutions as a lump sum Th e informational strategies reflect how state funds are ldquoallocatedrdquo not how they must be spent This means that with a few exceptions higher education entities unlike other state agencies are not required to spend appropriations within a specified funding strategy

The appropriation levels in each strategy refl ect diff erent revenue sources such as General Revenue Funds General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (mostly tuition and fee revenue) and Other Funds These revenue sources are referred to as the ldquomethod of fi nancerdquo Figure 5 illustrates the method of finance for $74 billion in appropriations for general academic institutions including a number of the indirect appropriations referenced in the next paragraph but does not include appropriations for employee retirement benefi ts

There are also appropriations that benefit institutions that are not reflected in the bill pattern of individual institutions including the Higher Education Fund the Available National Research University Fund Available University Fund certain employee benefits and funds trusteed to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB)

Figure 6 presents the percentage of funding related to each of these direct and indirect appropriations All of these appropriations are further described in the following pages

In addition general academic institutions have access to funds not reflected in the state appropriations process Examples of this include indirect cost recovery certain tuition and fees such as ldquodesignated tuitionrdquo and ldquoincidental feesrdquo (both are described in Appendix B) auxiliary operations (ie revenue from athletics student services fees bookstore and parking) and grants and gifts

FORMULA FUNDING Nearly 573 percent of state appropriations for general academic institutions are allocated via two funding formulas and two supplements Instruction and Operations Formula Teaching Experience Supplement Infrastructure Formula

and Small Institution Supplement The formulas and supplements are direct appropriations and are primarily based on enrollment

The formula appropriations consist of General Revenue Funds and some Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG) Other EampG includes specific tuition and fee revenue (see Appendix B for a listing of tuition and fee provisions) The inclusion of certain tuition and fee revenue in the formula funding calculation is referred to as an ldquoAll Funds methodologyrdquo to formula funding Th e most significant tuition revenue included in the formula calculation is tuition charged in accordance with Texas Education Code Section 54051 Interim Tuition Rates (referred to as statutory tuition) The statutory tuition rate for the 2012ndash13 academic year is $50 per semester credit hour for Texas residents Th e corresponding tuition rate for a nonresident student is the average nonresident tuition charged to a Texas resident at a public university in each of the five most populous states

Of the $40 billion allocated by the general academic formulas and supplements nearly 728 percent consists of General Revenue Funds with the remainder consisting of General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (Other EampG)

A portion of Other EampG income is set aside for specifi c purposes or allocated to non-formula based strategies in the

institutionrsquos bill pattern For example institutions set aside a portion of their tuition to provide Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) TPEG are grants designed to help students cover their tuition fees and textbook costs when these expenses exceed a certain portion of their familiesrsquo contributions to their educations This set-aside revenue is not part of the tuition and fee revenue used to calculate the funding formulas

INSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS FORMULA

About 815 percent of formula funds flow through the Instruction and Operations Formula ($32716 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) and Teaching Experience Supplement ($957 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) Th e Instruction and Operations formula is calculated as follows

Semester Credit Hours X ProgramLevel Weight X Rate (5371)

Semester credit hours (SCH) are a measurement of how many classes (and the number of students enrolled in those classes) an institution delivers The formula calculation for a biennium uses a ldquobase periodrdquo of SCH The ldquobase periodrdquo used for the 2012ndash13 biennium was the combination of summer 2010 fall 2010 and spring 2011

SCH is weighted by discipline (eg nursing is weighted more than liberal arts) and by level (ie lower and upper division masters doctoral and professional) For instance a lower division liberal arts course receives a weight of 10 A doctoral level liberal arts course receives a weight of 923 A nursing lower division course receives a weight of 203 A doctoral nursing course receives a weight of 925 Beginning with the 2006ndash07 GAA the basis for the weights per discipline was shifted to an aggregation of actual costs based on institutions Annual Financial Reports Currently THECB uses a rolling three year average to adjust the weights each biennium

THECB recommends a rate based on its recommended weights and program enhancements The legislature sets the weights and the rate in the Higher Education Special Provisions of the GAA (page III-238) In practice the legislature has set the rate based on available funding including consideration of enrollment changes and other factors Figure 7 illustrates the Instruction and Operations Formula allocation to institutions

TEACHING EXPERIENCE SUPPLEMENT

For the 2012ndash13 biennium an additional weight of ten percent is added to lower-division and upper-division semester credit hours taught by tenured and tenure-track faculty The 2012ndash13 GAA includes the following language ldquoFurthermore it is the intent of the Legislature that the weight shall increase by 10 percent per biennium up to 50 percentrdquo (Special Provisions Relating Only to State Agencies of Higher Education Sec 28 page III-238 2012ndash13 GAA)

The Teaching Experience Supplement is calculated as follows

Semester Credit Hours X ProgramLevel Weight Supplement (10) X Rate (5371)

The Teaching Experience Supplement was 5 percent during the 1998ndash99 and 2000ndash01 biennia Th e Seventy-seventh Legislature 2001 increased the supplement to the current 10 percent in 2002ndash03 biennium

INFRASTRUCTURE FORMULA

Almost 16 percent of formula funds flow through the Infrastructure Formula and Small Institution Supplement ($6768 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) In addition to

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 7

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

the universities the State Colleges and components of Texas State Technical College also receive infrastructure formula appropriations This formula uses a statewide infrastructure rate which is set in the GAA The statewide infrastructure rate is divided into two rates an Adjusted Utility Rate and an All Other Rate As with the SCH rate the legislature has set the rate based on available funding including consideration of changes in institutional space and other factors

The Infrastructure Formula is calculated as follows

(Adjusted Utility Rate + All Other Rates) X Predicted Square Feet

The Adjusted Utility Rate is 52 percent of the statewide infrastructure rate The 52 percent reflects the percentage of infrastructure formula funds that institutions historically spent on utilities A statewide utility rate is determined and then adjusted for each institution to reflect utility costs relative to other institutions

The All Other Rate is 48 percent of the statewide infrastructure rate and remains constant among institutions It accounts for physical plant grounds maintenance and custodial services

THECBrsquos Space Projection Model for Higher Education Institutions in Texas (space model) estimates square footage for each institution The objective of the space model projection is to calculate the amount of space an institution needs based on the following

bull number program and level of semester credit hours

bull number of faculty non-faculty students programs and library holdings and

bull research and current EampG expenditures

Figure 8 illustrates the Infrastructure Formula allocation to institutions The similarity of the allocation to the Instruction and Operations Formula allocation demonstrates the influence of enrollment on both formula allocations

SMALL INSTITUTION SUPPLEMENT

Prior to the Eighty-fi rst Legislature (2009) general academic institutions with enrollments of less than 5000 received a $750000 annual Small Institution Supplement However the Eighty-first Legislature increased the enrollment threshold to 10000 students and implemented a phase-out

(based on the number of students) of the supplement between 5000 and 10000 students for the 2012ndash13 biennium (see Figure 9) This supplement recognizes that institutions have a minimum cost of operation that may not be covered by funds generated through the formulas

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

Th e Eighty-first Legislature 2009 provided $414 million in General Revenue hold harmless funding for aff ected institutions to minimize the effect of reduced formula funding as a result of overall enrollment declines or declines in upper-division or graduate enrollment Decreases in formula funding could be caused by declining enrollment a shift from upper level or graduate semester credit hours to lower level hours a much smaller increase in enrollment than other institutions or a change in utility costs Th e Eighty-second Legislature 2011 provided $444 million in a hold harmless based on total General Revenue Funds (formula and non-formula) for the 2012ndash13 biennium

SPECIAL ITEMS

Special Item appropriations to the institutions total $4836 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium In 2012ndash13 $69 million was appropriated to system offices for special items These are direct appropriations to institutions for projects that are not funded by formula but are specifi cally identifi ed by the legislature as needing support An institution is not required to spend the amount identified in a Special Item strategy for that particular project but expenditure reports indicate that institutions often use an entire appropriation along with additional funding for the related project

The majority of special item funding is through the Institutional Enhancement strategy Institutional Enhancement is a $2204 million appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium This is a direct appropriation to institutions and was established by the Seventy-sixth Legislature 1999 for the 2000ndash01 biennium Th e fi rst Institutional Enhancement appropriation was based on a consolidation of certain Special Item appropriations in 1999 and an additional $1 million per year was appropriated for each institution Examples of consolidated special items are items that could be funded through the formulas such as general institutional academic and research support

For the 2002ndash03 biennium there was an additional $1 million increase in appropriations for most institutions and a $15 million increase for selected institutions in South Texas and the border region Institutions that benefi ted signifi cantly from the Seventy-seventh Legislaturersquos new University Research and Texas Excellence Funds (House Bill 1839 Seventy-seventh Legislature 2001) or from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) ldquoexcellence fundingrdquo did not receive an increase in Institutional Enhancement funds for the 2002ndash03 biennium

Other Special Items total $2632 million in appropriations for the 2012ndash13 biennium and include the following institutional and instructional support public service items research items other than general research support funding for separate campuses and accreditation program items

TEXAS COMPETITIVE KNOWLEDGE FUND

The Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund (TCKF) is authorized by the General Appropriations Act (GAA) (2012ndash13 Biennium) Article III Higher Education Special Provisions Section 56 The GAA prescribes that this funding will be used to support faculty for the purpose of instructional excellence and research Funding was first allocated in these strategies by the Legislature for the 2008ndash09 biennium

Current institutions receiving TCKF appropriations include The University of Texas at Austin Texas AampM University University of Houston Texas Tech University and Th e University of Texas at Dallas Institutions are allocated funding appropriated to the TCKF based on average research expenditures for the previous three-year period Th e Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 appropriated $935 million in Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund strategies directly to the institutions This funding level provides approximately $07 million to each institution for every $100 million in research expenditures In practice

when institutions have first received distributions from the fund appropriations have been reduced from the institutionrsquos special item strategies In subsequent biennia the institution continues to receive appropriations from the TCKF and the reduction in special items is not specifi cally restored

RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT FUND

The Research Development Fund was created by House Bill 3526 Seventy-eighth Legislature Regular Session 2003 and replaced the Texas Excellence and University Research Funds effective September 1 2005 The intent was to combine the Texas Excellence Fund and University Research Fund into a new fund applying a uniform allocation methodology based on a three-year average of each institutionrsquos restricted research expenditures Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature allocated $653 million (Figure 10) in the 2012ndash13 biennium to individual institutions to fund objectives identical to the Research Development Fund (Section 62091)

TEXAS RESEARCH INCENTIVE PROGRAM

Th e Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009 established the Texas Research Incentive Program (TRIP) at THECB to match state appropriations with certain gifts and endowments received by emerging research universities Th e goal of this $178 million a year program is to create more Tier One universities in Texas

The Eightieth Legislature 2007 appropriated $100 million in fiscal year 2009 to THECB to establish a Higher Education Performance Incentive Initiative The funding was for ldquoimprovement in teaching and educational excellence at Texas public general academic institutionsrdquo THECB distributed $80 million for increases in degrees awarded with special weights given to critical fields and at-risk students The remaining $20 million was used to fund scholarships for students graduating in the top 10 percent of their high school class

Th e Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009 maintained the $80 million for the higher education performance incentive initiative (funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) and increased funding for the Top Ten Percent scholarship program by $34 million bringing total appropriations for the program to $54 million

There were no performance funding incentives for the 2012ndash13 biennium For the 2012ndash13 biennium $396

million is appropriated to the Top Ten Percent Scholarship Program

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 provided $444 million in General Revenue Funds hold harmless funding for aff ected institutions to minimize the effect of reduced formula and special item funding Decreases in formula funding could be caused by declining enrollment a shift from upper level or graduate semester credit hours to lower level hours a much smaller increase in enrollment that other institutions or a change in utility costs

CAPITAL FUNDS

In addition to the constitutional funds discussed in the next subsection there are three types of state appropriation for capital funds tuition revenue bonds Skiles Act revenue bonds and lease payments Almost all of the direct appropriations to institutions related to capital funds are for debt service on tuition revenue bonds

A $5931 million General Revenue Funds appropriation was made for tuition revenue bond debt service for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Tuition revenue bonds must be authorized in statute Once an authorization is made institutions issue bonds and make related debt payments with tuition revenue Th e Texas Public Finance Authority issues tuition revenue bonds for Midwestern State University Stephen F Austin University Texas Southern University and the Texas State Technical Colleges Legislative practice has been to use General Revenue Funds to reimburse institutions for the costs related to this debt service

The legislature first authorized tuition revenue bonds in 1971 In some instances the authorization was a lump sum for the benefit of specific institutions During the Seventy-eighth Legislature 2003 $2689 million in tuition revenue bonds was authorized for specific projects at various higher education institutions The Seventy-ninth Legislature Th ird Called Session 2005 adopted House Bill 153 which authorized the issuance of $1858 billion in tuition revenue bonds for forty-four different institutions Only one tuition revenue bond (House Bill 1775) was adopted by the Eightieth Legislature 2007 for a $13 million nursing building at Stephen F Austin University Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature 2009 authorized one tuition revenue bond for Texas AampM University at Galveston The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not authorize any new tuition revenue bonds

The authority for Skiles Act Revenue Bonds was repealed in 1997 It had allowed institutions to pledge up to $5 from each enrolled student for each regular semester to the payment of bonds authorized under the governing boardrsquos general authority to sell revenue bonds Institutions use their Other Educational and General Income (General Revenuendash Dedicated Funds) to pay the debt service on these previously authorized bonds This is a $10 million appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Three general academic institutions receive a $3 million General Revenue Fund appropriation for lease payments to community colleges for facilities

CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

These funds are appropriated separately in the GAA and not directly appropriated to the institutions (see Appendix D)

The Available University Fund (AUF) established in Section 18 Article VII Texas Constitution consists of the surface income and investment proceeds from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) a state endowment with land grants totaling 21 million acres

Distributions to the AUF consist of investment returns from PUF assets surface income from PUF lands and interest earned on AUF balances For the 2012ndash13 biennium investment returns were $12200 million surface income was $398 million and interest income was $59 million Income from the sale of PUF lands and the lease of mineral interest is retained in the PUF and invested

The total 2012ndash13 estimated appropriation for the AUF is $12660 million The Constitution appropriates two-thirds of the AUF to The University of Texas System and one-third to the Texas AampM University System The two systems may use the AUF for capital purposes (debt service on PUF bonds) for most of their institutions and ldquofor the support and maintenancerdquo of other institutions listed Entities authorized to receive funding for ldquosupport and maintenancerdquo which is now commonly referred to as ldquoAUF Excellence Fundingrdquo are the two system offi ces The University of Texas at Austin Texas AampM University and Prairie View AampM University The systemsrsquo boards of regents determine allocations to individual institutions including health-related institutions and the amounts for ldquoExcellencerdquo Figure 11 lists the recipients and the type of support they received

The Higher Education Fund (HEF) as authorized in Section 17 Article VII Texas Constitution benefits institutions of higher education not eligible for the AUF (see Figure 12)

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

The HEF is supported by General Revenue Fund appropriations

The distribution of the $525 million HEF appropriation for 2012ndash13 is provided for in statute (Texas Education Code Section 62021) The Constitution calls for a re-allocation of HEF funds every ten years The Seventy-ninth Legislature Regular Session fulfilled this requirement with the enactment of House Bill 3001

The Constitution also allows the legislature to adjust the decennial allocations every five years Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature Regular Session 2011 exercised this authority by enacting House Bill 51 which adjusted the formula allocation for the HEF funds for fiscal years 2009 through 2015

To maintain the equitable distribution of the HEF appropriation House Bill 51 also corrected the distribution of fiscal year 2009 and 2010 HEF allocations by using revised formula calculations Using these revised formula calculations House Bill 51 factored in updated data elements to generate the annual HEF allocations for the fi ve-year period starting in fiscal year 2011

HEF funds must be used for capital purposes Institutions may use HEF allocations for debt service on HEF bonds or as cash

In 1995 the Texas Constitution was amended to authorize the creation and funding of a dedicated HEF corpus known as the Permanent Higher Education Fund (PHEF) Th is corpus was separate from the annual HEF allocation of General Revenue Funds The PHEF was intended to become a permanent endowment to support non-PUF eligible institutions but never reached its targeted value of $2 billion

The PHEF corpus of $5159 million was rededicated with the enactment of Proposition 4 which amended Article 7 of the Texas Constitution by establishing the National Research University Fund (NRUF) The balance of the PHEF was transferred to the NRUF on January 1 2010 and the authorization for the PHEF expired Proposition 4 also allowed the legislature to appropriate some or all of the total returns from the NRUF to provide a source of funding to enable emerging research universities to achieve national prominence

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 appropriated $124 million in estimated NRUF proceeds to eligible institutions in the 2012ndash13 biennium

House Bill 1000 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 established the specific eligibility and distribution criteria for the 2012ndash13 NRUF appropriations To be eligible to receive NRUF appropriations an institution must meet two mandatory criteria and four out of six optional criteria The mandatory criteria are that the institution in designated as an emerging research university within the Higher Education Coordinating Boardrsquos Accountability System and that the institution reported at least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the preceding two fi scal years Optional criteria include the following possession of an endowment fund values in excess of $400 million awarding over 200 Doctor of Philosophy degrees per year having an entering freshman class of high academic achievement recognition of the institutions research capability and scholarly attainment possession of a high-quality faculty and possession of high-quality graduate education programs Texas Tech University and the University of Houston are the only two institutions that received funding through this program in 2012

HIGHER EDUCATION GROUP INSURANCE (HEGI)

The $4631 million General Revenue Fund appropriation for higher education group insurance (HEGI) is not a direct appropriation in the institutionsrsquo bill patterns It is appropriated in a separate section of the GAA entitled ldquoHigher Education Employees Group Insurance Contributionsrdquo This appropriation is intended to help institutions cover the cost of health insurance premiums for institution employees whose salaries are paid from the General Revenue Fund Because The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own health insurance programs they each receive separate appropriations The remaining institutions are included in the program operated by the Employees Retirement System (ERS)

The HEGI appropriation is sum-certain That is the Statersquos General Revenue Fund contributions are limited to each institutionrsquos number of employees enrolled in the health insurance program as of December 1 2012 However the GAA allows ERS The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems to transfer HEGI appropriations among institutions within their respective group insurance programs to address shortfalls in General Revenue Funds related to group insurance premiums

SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS

An appropriation for social security is included in the GAA at the end of Article III It is an estimated General Revenue

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

Fund appropriation to provide the employer matching funds for employees of institutions of higher education (Th is appropriation amount is not included in Figure 3 on page 2)

STAFF GROUP INSURANCE

Staff group insurance is for staff whose salaries are not paid with General Revenue Funds (GR) The appropriation is based on an estimation of the number of non-GR funded employees at an institution as of December 1 2010 Th e total appropriation for all general academic institutions is $1766 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium The method of finance is Other Educational and General Income (which is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds)

RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS

Appropriations for retirement contributions are included under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) bill patterns Some higher education employees primarily faculty and top administrators are eligible for ORP a defi ned contribution plan similar to a 401k Other higher education employees participate in TRS a defi ned benefit plan The state funds retirement contributions for TRS equal to 60 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal year 2012 and 64 percent in 2013 State contributions for ORP are equal to 60 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal years 2012 and 2013 (Th ese appropriation amounts are not included in Figure 3 on page 2)

OTHER NON-FORMULA FUNDING

WORKERSrsquo COMPENSATION

Changes in the structure of the statewide workersrsquo compensation system resulted in most institutions receiving General Revenue Fund appropriations for Workersrsquo Compensation starting in 2006ndash07 However Th e University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own workersrsquo compensation pools while all other institutions are part of the State Office of Risk Managementrsquos workersrsquo compensation pool

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

Most components of The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems have this strategy because they operate their own risk pools Th ese institutions receive General Revenue Fund appropriations for unemployment compensation insurance The appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium is $05 million in General Revenue Funds Th e Texas Workforce Commission receives an appropriation to

cover unemployment benefi ts for former state employees for all other higher education institutions

TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANTS

According to statute (Texas Education Code Chapter 56 Subchapter C and Texas Education Code Section 54051 [Statutory Tuition]) institutions must set aside a portion of tuition revenue for Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) Fifteen percent of each resident studentrsquos tuition and 3 percent of each nonresident studentrsquos tuition are set aside for financial aid to students at the institution Texas Education Code Section 56033 provides guidelines on the allocation of TPEG revenue The GAA includes an estimate of the amount of TPEG revenue each institution will generate Th is $2111 million estimated appropriation is considered Other Educational and General Income which are classifi ed as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY

Indirect costs as defined by The Comptroller of Public Accounts are ldquoincurred for a common or joint purpose benefiting more than one cost objectiverdquo Institutions negotiate a percentage of a federal grant for indirect costs There are a number of factors included in the calculation including building and equipment use allowance operations and maintenance general departmental and sponsored projects administration and library costs

The Seventy-eighth Legislature 2003 allowed universities to retain 100 percent of indirect costs income from research grants and contracts to encourage further research projects conducted by universities

ORGANIZED ACTIVITIES

Organized Activities are activities or enterprises connected with instructional departments whose primary function is training for students Examples include a university farm nurserypreschool programs an optometry clinic and lifeguard training Revenue from Organized Activities is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds Other EampG Income For the 2012ndash13 biennium $503 million is appropriated for Organized Activities

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

OVERVIEW Appropriations for the nine health-related institutions are similar in structure to the appropriations for general academic institutions There are formula and non-formula funding appropriations made directly to the institutions as well as appropriations that benefit the institutions but are not included in the institutionsrsquo bill patterns such as the Available University Fund certain staff benefi ts and funds trusteed at the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) While health-related institutions do not receive appropriations from the Research Development Fund they share many other types of appropriations similar to general academic institution appropriations Th ose appropriations will be briefly restated in this section of the report Figure 13 lists the institutions and their enrollment

Like other higher education institutions the appropriations for health-related institutions are a lump sum and funding strategies are presented for informational purposes in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) The funding strategies in a health-related institutionrsquos bill pattern represent how state funds are allocated but not how they must be spent Also certain methods of finance in the appropriation are estimated This means that if for example patient income for an institution is above the amount included in the GAA

the institution can spend more than the amount listed in the GAA

Also health-related institutions have access to an estimated $109 billion outside the appropriations process in 2012ndash13 Examples of this include certain tuition revenue indirect lost recovery grants and gifts

FORMULA FUNDING The three primary funding formulas for health-related institutions are Instruction and Operations support Infrastructure support and Research Enhancement Th e University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Th e University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler have additional formula allocations to accommodate their unique missions Each health-related institution also receives formula funding for graduate medical education

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 15

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

General Revenue funding and some Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated) fund the formulas Like general academic institutions certain tuition revenue is used in the calculation of the Instruction and Operation support and Infrastructure support formulas Of the $15 billion that is allocated by the health-related institutionsrsquo primary formulas 939 percent is from the General Revenue Fund and the remaining 61 percent is from General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (tuition and fee revenue)

Some tuition and fee income is set aside for specifi c purposes Some specific amounts are unavailable for formula purposes and consequently are not a formula method of fi nance For example health-related institutions set aside a portion of their tuition to provide Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) and Medical Loans

INSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS SUPPORT FORMULA

The Instruction and Operations (IampO) support formula represents nearly 755 percent of the primary formula funds for health-related institutions ($9282 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) It is intended to fund items such as faculty salaries departmental operating expenses instructional administration and libraries It is allocated on a per full-time student equivalent (FTSE) basis with a funding weight predicated on the instructional program of the student This formula applies to all health-related

institutions except The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler which did not offer education instruction during the base period for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Figure 15 illustrates the Instruction and Operations support formula among the eight health-related institutions

The Instruction and Operations support formula is calculated as follows

(FTSE X Program Weight X $8874) + SmallMultiple Campus Supplement

FTSE is weighted by discipline For example medicine (4753) is weighted more than pharmacy (1670) Allied Health is assigned a weight of 1000

The Legislature sets the weights and the rate ($8874 adjusted for the 2012ndash13 biennium) in the Higher Education Special Provisions of the GAA (Sec 29 page III-239 and 240) The rate is calculated based on the available revenue for the formula and the number of FTSEs

Programs with enrollments less than 200 receive a Small Campus Supplement (see Figure 16)

INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT FORMULA

The Infrastructure support formula is 194 percent of the primary formula funding and is intended for utilities and physical plant support ($2383 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) This formula calculation is similar to that for general academic institutions but includes only one rate ($655) for all institutions except The University of Texas

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

RESEARCH FORMULA

Health-related institutions generate state appropriations to support research through General Revenue Funds in the Research Enhancement formula ($629 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) The Research Enhancement formula accounts for 51 percent of the primary formula funds and is funded entirely from the General Revenue Fund

The allocation is based on the amount of research generated by each institution

$1412500 + (110 X Research

Expenditures)

This provides a base Institutions report for all institutions current research

regardless of research expenditures to volume THECB

NON-FORMULA FUNDING

PATIENT CARE ACTIVITIES

Some institutions conduct patient care activities generally medical or dental For the 2012ndash13 biennium the estimated appropriation for Patient Income was $56 billion Th e hospital and clinic revenues earned through patient care activities are considered Other Funds which are part of Educational and General Income (not to be confused with Other Educational and General Income which is another subset of Educational and General Income) General Revenue funding supplements patient-care income to varying degrees at each institution Patient Income is an estimated appropriation and is spread across an institutionrsquos funding strategies however it is not used in the calculation of the formulas

INSTITUTIONAL ENHANCEMENT

Institutional Enhancement is a General Revenue Fund appropriation that started in the 2000ndash01 biennium It is designed to allow each institution to address its unique needs and diseconomies of scale at institutions with smaller campuses The total institutional enhancement appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium was $42 million which includes $407 million in General Revenue Funds and $16 million in Patient Income

SPECIAL ITEMS

Special items are activities that are not generally funded through the formulas and typically represent an institutionrsquos special needs or areas of expertise The $3107 million in General Revenue Funds for the 2012ndash13 biennium funds items such as residency programs academic outreach programs public service items and research items other than general research support Institutions propose and justify special items and request an amount for each on an ad hoc basis Special items generally remain constant from biennium to biennium unless the item was a one-time expense (eg tornado damage repairs) or the institution has not used the funding for the intended purpose

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

These funds are not directly appropriated to institutions in the GAA In other words these funds are not found in a strategy within an institutionrsquos bill pattern

Health-related institutions are eligible for funding from the Available University Fund ($146 million in Other Funds allocated to these institutions by system offices for the 2012ndash 13 biennium) and the Higher Education Fund ($257 million in General Revenue Funds appropriated for the 2012ndash13 biennium) which are presented in detail in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section of this report

CAPITAL FUNDS

Just like general academic institutions tuition revenue bonds ($1665 million in General Revenue Funds for related debt service in the 2012ndash13 biennium) are also used to fund capital projects at health-related institutions A detailed presentation of tuition revenue bonds is in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center also have separate appropriations for capital projects that are funded primarily with Patient Income

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Like general academic institutions health-related institutions benefit from direct and indirect state appropriations related to employee benefi ts The indirect appropriations include Higher Education Group Insurance ($2339 million in General Revenue Funds for the 2012ndash13 biennium) Retirement Contributions and Social Security Benefi ts (all presented in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section) The direct appropriations include Staff Group Insurance

For the 2012ndash13 biennium the Workersrsquo Compensation and Unemployment Compensation strategies (all presented in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section) are funded directly with General Revenue Funds and General RevenuendashDedicated Funds However The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own workersrsquo compensation pools while all other institutions are part of the State Office of Risk Managementrsquos workersrsquo compensation pool The University of Texas and Texas AampM Systems also manage their own unemployment compensation coverage while all other institutions receive coverage from

the Texas Workforce Commission which receives an appropriation to cover unemployment benefi ts

TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANTS

Health-related institutions similar to general academic institutions are subject to the Texas Education Code (sect56031 et al) provision requiring a portion of tuition revenue be set aside to fund Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) For the 2012ndash13 biennium the estimated TPEG appropriation is $188 million This revenue is considered Other Education and General Income which is classifi ed as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY

As mentioned earlier in this section Indirect Cost Recovery was removed from the GAA for the 2010ndash11 biennium however the individual institution still receives the funds

TOBACCO SETTLEMENT

House Bill 1945 Seventy-sixth Legislature 1999 established the Permanent Health Fund for health-related institutions of Higher Education the Permanent Fund for Minority Health Research and Education the Permanent Fund for Higher Education Nursing Allied Health and Other Health Related Programs and 13 permanent endowments for individual institutions of higher education The $769 million in estimated interest earnings from the endowments for 2012ndash13 (based on estimated interest earnings of 45 percent each year) were appropriated to the health-related institutions

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

OVERVIEW Public two-year lower-level institutions include 50 community and junior college districts four Texas State Technical College (TSTC) campuses and three Lamar State Colleges These institutions were appropriated $22 billion in state funding for the 2012ndash13 biennium Preliminary fall FIGURE 20 TWO-YEAR INSTITUTION FUNDING MECHANISMS 2012ndash13 BIENNIUM

2011 enrollment at these institutions totaled 789713 Figure 20 illustrates the funding mechanisms for these institutions Community colleges accounted for 983 percent of this enrollment total while the Texas State Technical and Lamar State Colleges composed the remaining portion

COMMUNITY COLLEGES

Instruction and Administration General Revenue Funds from the state are based on contact hour driven formulas for two-year institutions Tuition and fee revenues and local tax revenues augment state General Revenue Funds for these costs

Academic Courses Approximately 82 percent of the total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are academic courses

Technical Courses Approximately 18 percent of the total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are vocationaltechnical courses

Physical Plant The state provides no funding for physical plant operations and maintenance Local taxing districts are expected to provide support for physical plant needs Community colleges are projected to receive approximately $12 billion in tax income in fiscal year 2011

Facilities Local communities must provide facilities Community colleges are not eligible to receive Higher Education Fund (HEF) allocations Available University Fund allocations or state tuition revenue bonds

Employee Benefits While community college employees are locally-employed community colleges participate in the Employee Retirement System (ERS) Group Benefits Program for health benefi ts and the Teacher Retirement System(TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) for retirement benefits The state makes General Revenue Fund contributions for the health and retirement benefits

Tuition Fee Revenues Tuition and fee revenues are considered institutional funds and are not appropriated by the state Tuition rates vary by institution In 2012 the statewide tuition rates plus fees averaged $73 per semester credit hour but varied from $34 to $208 per semester credit hour

Local Tax Revenue Community Colleges are projected to receive approximately $12 billion in tax income in fiscal year 2011 Local tax revenues are expected to provide support for physical plant needs and augment state General Revenue Funds for instruction and administration costs

TSTCLAMAR COLLEGES

Instruction and Administration General Revenue Funds from the state are based on formulas for two-year institutions Tuition and fee revenues augment General Revenue Funds for these costs

Academic Courses Approximately 39 percent at the Lamar colleges and 28 percent at Texas State Technical College (TSTC) of total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are academic courses

Technical Courses Approximately 61 percent at the Lamar colleges and 72 percent at TSTC of total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are vocationaltechnical courses

Physical Plant State funding based on the formula for general academic institutions The Lamar colleges will receive approximately $71 million and TSTC will receive $157 million in General Revenue Funds for physical plant and utilities in the 2012ndash13 biennium

Facilities The Lamar colleges receive approximately $42 million annually from HEF funds and TSTC receives almost $58 million annually The HEF monies are used to acquire land construct and equip buildings provide major building repair or rehabilitation and acquire capital equipment and library materials

Employee Benefits Both the Lamar colleges and TSTC institutions participate in ERSrsquo Group Benefits Program for health benefits and the TRS and ORP programs for retirement benefits The state makes General Revenue Fund contributions for the health and retirement benefits of those employees having their salaries paid with General Revenue Funds

Tuition Fee Revenues Certain tuition revenue is appropriated by the state In 2012 for resident students average tuition plus fees was $139 per semester credit hour at the Lamar colleges and $150 per semester credit hour at TSTC

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 21

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

These institutions are primarily funded based on student contact hours A contact hour is a standard unit of measure that represents an hour of scheduled academic and technical instruction given to students during a semester Community and junior college districts generate almost 958 percent of the state-funded contact hours at two-year institutions TSTC components generate approximately 29 percent of the contact hours and the three Lamar State Colleges account for the 13 percent

COMMUNITY COLLEGES Over 99 percent of the direct appropriations to community colleges are from the General Revenue Fund and are generated through a funding formula The remaining direct appropriations are for isolated ldquospecial itemsrdquo including appropriations for the Southwest Collegiate Institute for the Deaf which is part of the appropriation for Howard College The Texas Education Code Section 130003(a) calls for state appropriations to public community colleges to ldquosupplement local funds for the proper support maintenance operation and improvement of those public junior colleges of Texas that meet the standards prescribed by the chapterrdquo Further Education Code Section 130003(c) indicates that state funds must be used ldquoexclusively for the purpose of paying salaries of instructional and administrative forceshellip and the purchase of supplies and materials for instructional purposesrdquo

Consistent with statute community colleges have their own Instruction and Administration Formula which is funded by General Revenue Funds and based on ldquostudent contact hoursrdquo Unlike general academic institution formulas this formula does not include tuition and fee revenue as part of the method of fi nance

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 also provided $45 million to certain districts through a new small institution supplemental formula A district is eligible for the supplement if it makes a significantly above-average effort to generate tax income while at the same time experiencing below-average tax revenue and does not have a number of contact hours that exceeds the statewide median Th e Eighty-second Legislature appropriated each eligible district $05 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium

No state funding is provided for physical plant operations and maintenance or for facilities that is supported by local tax eff ort

Three community colleges receive weighted semester credit hour formula funding for a Bachelor of Applied Technology degree program

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

Th e Eighty-first Legislature 2009 provided $153 million in General Revenue formula hold harmless funding for aff ected community colleges to minimize the effect of reduced formula funding as a result of overall contact hour declines The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not provide any hold harmless funding in the 2012ndash13 biennium

Property taxes tuition and fees are other major sources of revenue for community colleges Figure 21 illustrates the estimated sources of funding for community colleges Th e state appropriations in Figure 21 include all formula special item Higher Education Group Insurance appropriations and retirement benefi t appropriations

FORMULA FUNDING

The basis of the formula starts with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) Report of Fundable Operating Expenses (RFOE) (formally called the All Funds Expenditure Report) The study includes all expenditures for instruction and administration (facilities costs are not included) in 26 program areas THECB uses the expenditure data to determine the median cost in the 26 program areasmdashthe ldquoratesrdquo for contact hours in those disciplines THECB then makes a recommendation for

LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 22

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

funding based on the rates Over the years THECB has used various methodologies as the basis for its funding recommendations Because the RFOE takes into account all funds (state appropriations plus tuition and tax revenue which are not appropriated) THECBrsquos recommendation for state funding has generally not equaled 100 percent of the rates

The amount of the appropriation is a legislative decision based on funds available The appropriation is allocated to the colleges according to each districtrsquos pro-rata share of THECB recommendations

HIGHER EDUCATION GROUP INSURANCE (HEGI)

Like state institutions of higher education community colleges receive General Revenue Fund contributions for group insurance However since community college employees are local not state employees state contributions for health benefits are fully discretionary Other agencies and institutions of higher education report employee eligibility for General Revenue-funded group health insurance benefi ts only if the employeersquos salary is directly paid with General Revenue Funds However in the past community colleges tended to base eligibility for General Revenue-funded benefits if the employeersquos job function fell under an approved ldquoelement of costrdquo This practice caused community colleges to report eligibility for state funded health benefits in a manner that did not always match the source of the employeersquos salary

This practice led to the Governorrsquos veto of the Group Health Insurance appropriation for fiscal year 2009 ($154 million) at the end of the Eightieth Legislative session However an agreement to restore the vetoed funds was reached and returned directly to the districts in House Bill 4586 Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009

The Eight-Second Legislature 2011 allowed community colleges to receive General Revenue Fund contributions for employees whose job function fell under an approved ldquoelement of costrdquo However the Legislature only funded 42 percent of the premium costs for these employees

OTHER STAFF BENEFITS

Appropriations for retirement contributions are included under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) bill patterns Some higher education employees primarily faculty and certain administrators are eligible for ORP a defi ned contribution plan similar to a 401k Other higher education employees

participate in TRS a defi ned benefit plan In both instances the state funds retirement contributions equal 60 and 64 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal year 2012 and fi scal year 2013 respectively (These appropriation amounts are not included in Figure 2 on page 3)

DRAMATIC ENROLLMENT GROWTH

Since the 1996ndash97 biennium public community colleges have received ldquoDramatic Enrollment Growth Fundingrdquo For the 2000ndash01 biennium this was expanded to include Texas State Technical Colleges and Lamar State Colleges (Lamars) The appropriation was made to THECB Rider 13 page IIIshy53 General Appropriations Act (2010ndash11 Biennium) provided guidelines for distributing this funding

For the 2010ndash11 biennium THECB is authorized to allocate up to $175 million per year to schools experiencing a growth rate of five percent or greater in 2010 and eight percent or greater in 2011 The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not provide any dramatic enrollment growth funding in the 2012-13 biennium

OTHER TRUSTEED FUNDS

Students at community colleges also benefi t from Texas Educational Opportunity Grants the student fi nancial aid program appropriation that is allocated by THECB

TEXAS STATE TECHNICAL COLLEGE LAMAR STATE COLLEGES The Texas State Technical Colleges (TSTC) and Lamar State Colleges are allocated a majority of their appropriation via two formulas the Instruction and Administration Formula for two-year institutions and the Infrastructure Formula for general academic institutions Similar to general academic institutions the tuition revenue for these colleges is included in the appropriations bill

Contact hours for vocationaltechnical courses represent approximately 61 percent of total contact hours at the Lamar State Colleges and 72 percent at TSTC institutions Th e remaining contact hours are generated from academic and continuing education courses

Facilities funding is available from the Higher Education Fund for both TSTC and the Lamars State Colleges and both have received Tuition Revenue Bond authorizations

FUNDING TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES

There are seven research and service agencies that are administered by the Texas AampM University System Th e system agenciesrsquo missions differ from other institutions of higher education in that each system agency focuses on one or two of the three traditional missions of higher education institutions research extension and service (Figure 22)

FIGURE 22 TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES MISSIONS AND FUNCTIONS

STATUTORY AUTHORITY MISSIONFUNCTIONS

For the 2012ndash13 biennium the total direct appropriations for Texas AampM System (System) agencies are $8897 million In addition to state appropriations the System agencies receive some Federal Funds that are not included in the General Appropriations Act and have access to private funds While System agencies have significant portions of their Other Funds and Federal Funds appropriated the appropriations are estimated and actual income from these funding sources is subject to signifi cant variation

FUNDING TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES

FIGURE 23 TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES COMPARED TO INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION

SIMILARITIES

FUNDING

Both Texas AampM System (System) agencies and institutions of higher education have considerable flexibility in their budgeting and financial operations (ldquolump sumrdquo appropriations)

Both are eligible to receive proceeds from the Permanent University Fund

Both are considered to be institutions of higher education for purposes of employee group health insurance

Both System agencies and institutions of higher education generate and keep 100 percent of indirect cost recovery from research and other grants

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

OPERATIONS

Like other institutions of higher education System agencies are not required to submit operating budgets or strategic plans

Both are statutorily embedded within the Texas AampM Systemrsquos institutional framework

SOURCE Legislative Budget Board

DIFFERENCES

General academic health-related and two-year institutions receive formula funding while System agencies do not

Texas AampM System agencies do not generate revenue in the same manner or amount of other higher education institutions

Performance measures for the System agencies are agency-specific while performance measures for other higher education institutions are standardized

In several ways state funding for System agencies is similar to funding for higher education institutions System agencies have considerable flexibility in their budgeting and fi nancial operations because they receive lump-sum appropriations in the same manner as other institutions of higher education They are eligible to receive funds from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) (They were allocated $153 million from the PUF for debt service in the 2012ndash13 biennium) System agencies are also funded in the same manner as other institutions of higher education with regard to staff benefi ts including employee group health insurance contributions

However there are several funding diff erences between System agencies and other higher education institutions Most significantly System agencies do not receive formula-based funding Also while some System agencies may charge fees for their services they do not generate tuition and fees in the same manner or quantity as other institutions of higher education

As is the case with all institutions the System agencies keep 100 percent of their respective indirect cost recovery income

because this income is derived from earnings on federal grants and is held outside the treasury

For the 2012ndash13 biennium funding associated with infrastructure expenses and utilities for System agencies inside Brazos County is equal to the infrastructure rate (as determined by the General Academic formulas on page 6) for Texas AampM University

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q What are the limitations on how institutions spend state appropriations

A Generally speaking institutions have great fl exibility in spending appropriated funds however some limitations do exist depending on the source of revenue Appropriated revenue includes General Revenue Funds General Revenuendash Dedicated Funds (mostly tuition and fee income) Other Funds (including Patient Income) and Federal Funds (for certain Texas AampM System Agencies) Th e Texas Constitution (Article VII Section 18(i) and 17(j)) prohibits with limited exceptions the use of General Revenue Funds for acquiring land or for construction projects An exception occurs when the legislature by two-thirds vote in each house expressly determines that there is a demonstrated need for the project

Various provisions in the 2012ndash13 General Appropriations Act (GAA) Higher Education Special Provisions restrict state appropriations These restrictions include the following

bull Section 6 (Rider 8b) which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for auxiliary enterprises

bull Section 6 (Rider 9) which limits the use of these funds to pay debt service for statutorily authorized tuition revenue bonds Any such appropriation not spent must be returned to the General Revenue Fund at the end of the year

bull Section 9 which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for intercollegiate athletics purposes and

bull Section 54 which limits the use of the Research Development Fund to those defined in Education Code Section 62091

Q Would an increase in tuition revenue replace a corresponding amount in General Revenue Funds or would the revenue remain within the institution

A The result depends on how the Legislature responds

For instance assume that the Eight-second Legislature 2011 changed the statute to require institutions to charge nonresident tuition in circumstances where they had previously waived the nonresident tuition rate For the 2012ndash13 biennium institutions would benefit fully from the

increase in tuition revenue (This assumes the formula calculation would not include a projected increase in tuition)

However institutional appropriations in the 2014ndash15 biennium now depend on that legislation passed in the Eighty-third Legislature 2013 Assuming the same number of students (semester credit hours) enroll regardless of changes in tuition policy and that the result of charging nonresident tuition generated $100 million in additional tuition revenue there are three options

1 Reduce General Revenue Funds (GR) in the formulas by $100 million In this scenario the formula rate stays the same and every dollar increase in tuition revenue results in a dollar decrease in GRmdashinstitutional funding does not increase

2 Keep GR the same and run the additional tuition revenue through the formulas Th e formula funding rate would increase and every institution would receive more funds including those institutions that generated no additional tuition revenue

3 Keep GR formula appropriations at the same level and let individual institutions keep the additional tuition revenue they generated outside the formula allocation

Q Are all tuition and fee revenues collected by institutions of higher education included in the appropriations bill

A No None of the tuition and fee revenues collected by community colleges are appropriated

For general academic institutions an estimate of the revenue from certain tuitions and fees such as statutory tuition (Education Code 54051 Tuition Rates) board authorized tuition (Education Code 54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board) Laboratory Fees (Education Code 54501) and certain other fees are appropriated in the GAA as General Revenue FundsndashDedicated Estimated Other Educational and General Income There are a number of other tuitions and fees that are not included in the GAA and therefore not referred to as state funding Such tuitions and fees include but are not limited to designated tuition (Education Code 540513 Redesignation of Building Use Fee) and Incidental Fees (Education Code 54504) Federal

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 27

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Funds are also not appropriated to the general academic and health-related institutions

Q Is a decrease in enrollment the only reason an institution would be eligible for formula funding hold harmless

A No Each session the Legislature makes a determination of whether it will make an appropriation for formula hold harmless A decrease in total enrollment is one reason an institution could be eligible for the funding Because the semester credit hours (general academic institutions) full-time student equivalents (health-related institutions) used in the formulas are based on weights (discipline program and course level) a change in the type of student enrollment regardless of total enrollment could also make an institution eligible for hold harmless funding

Q What are Educational and General Funds

A ldquoOther Educational and General Incomerdquo is a subset of ldquoEducational and General Incomerdquo The following are included in the Education Code (51009(c)) defi nition for ldquoEducational and General Fundsrdquo net tuition special course fees charged under Education Code 54051(e) and (l) lab fees student teaching fees hospital and clinic fees organized activity fees and proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment

Q What does it mean to be a Tier One institution

A The Tier One reference is often derived from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teachingrsquos prior system for classifying institutions of higher education As part of the 1994 version of the Carnegie Classification there were four categories for doctorate granting institutions Research Universities I Research Universities II Doctoral Universities I and Doctoral Universities II ldquoTier Onerdquo was synonymous with Research Universities I Such institutions had to off er a full range of baccalaureate programs award 50 or more doctoral degrees each year and receive annually at least $40 million or more in federal research funds Two institutions in Texas (The University of Texas at Austin and Texas AampM University) met these criteria The 2000 version of the Carnegie Classification collapsed the categories for doctorate granting institutions from four to two Doctoral Research UniversitiesmdashExtensive and DoctoralResearch UniversitiesmdashIntensive Six public institutions in Texas (Texas AampM University Texas Tech University University of Houston University of North Texas The University of Texas at Arlington and The University of Texas at Austin) meet the criteria for DoctoralResearch Universitiesmdash

Extensive In 2005 however the classifi cation structure returned to a more restricted top tier of institutions classifi ed as ldquoResearch Universities (very high research activity)rdquo Both The University of Texas at Austin and Texas AampM University are now counted in this category but any reference to Tier One usually refers to the 1994 Carnegie Classifi cation

Q What is the space model What is the base number of square feet needed

A In 1992 the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approved the Space Projection Model for Higher Education Institutions in Texas for public universities to assess the net assignable square feet (NASF) of educational and general space an institution needs There are fi ve categories incorporated into the model teaching library research offi ce and support space Space needs for auxiliary purposes such as dormitories or athletics are not included in the model Square footage amounts are assigned based on a number of elements within each category including the number of students and their program levels and the amount of research expenditures The space model was fi rst incorporated into the funding formulas for general academic institutions in 1997

Q What are ldquoOrganized Activitiesrdquo

A General academic institutions have a funding strategy titled ldquoOrganized Activitiesrdquo These are activities or enterprises that are connected with instructional departments Th ey are intended primarily to give training to students Examples include a university farm nurserypreschool programs an optometry clinic and lifeguard training

Q What are tuition revenue bonds

A Established in 1971 under Education Code 5513 tuition revenue bonds are bonds (not to exceed 50 years) issued by institutions of higher education for the purpose of ldquoproviding funds to acquire purchase construct improve enlarge andor equip any property buildings structures activities services operations or other facilities for and on behalf of its institution or institutions or any branch of branches thereofrdquo Each institutionsystem is authorized and required to pay debt service on its bonds Although the authorization and issuance of the bonds is not contingent on an appropriation by the state for related debt service the Legislature has provided General Revenue Funds to reimburse institutions for costs related to debt service However in the 2004ndash05 GAA the legislature changed this practice and only provided General Revenue Fund reimbursements for interest

LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 28

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

on bonds issued after March 31 2003 The 2006ndash07 GAA renewed the practice of reimbursing institutions for the costs related to debt service The 2008ndash09 GAA and 2010-11 GAA continues this practice

Q What Is Proportionality

A Pursuant to Section 608 of Article IX of the 2012ndash13 GAA the legislative intent of proportionality is to ldquomaximize balances in the General Revenue Fundrdquo by harmonizing salary funding source with benefits funding source Th is effectively means the Legislature limits its General Revenue Fund contributions for benefits only to those employees having salaries paid with General Revenue Funds As such proportionality requires employee health and retirement benefits be paid in ldquoproportionrdquo to the funding source of salaries To this end institutions are obligated to submit the Accounting Policy Statement 011 Benefits Proportional by Fund (APS 011) report to the Comptroller Th is document provides a structure by which state and local contributions are ldquosettled uprdquo in light of the fiscal years fund proportionality

Q What Is the National Research University Fund

A In 1995 the Texas Constitution was amended to authorize the creation and funding of the Permanent Higher Education Fund (PHEF) The PHEF was intended eventually to become a permanent endowment to support non-Permanent University Fund eligible institutions However the PHEF corpus was rededicated with the voter passage of Proposition 4 which amended Article 7 of the Texas Constitution by establishing the National Research University Fund (NRUF) In 2009 Proposition 4 transferred the balance of the PHEF to the credit of the NRUF as of January 1 2010 and repealed the constitutional authorization for the PHEF

The NRUF is intended to provide a source of funding to enable emerging research universities in Texas to achieve national prominence as major research universities Article VII of the Texas Constitution authorizes the Legislature to appropriate some or all of the total return on all investment assets of the NRUF for the purposes of the fund except for two caveats (1) the Legislature may not increase distributions from the fund if the purchasing power of investment assets for any rolling 10-year period is not preserved and (2) the amount appropriated from the proceeds of the NRUF corpus in any fiscal year must be capped at 7 percent of the investment assetsrsquo average net fair market value Until the NRUF has been invested long enough to determine its purchasing power over a 10-year period the Legislature is

authorized to use other means of preserving the purchasing power of the fund

House Bill 1000 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 establishes the specific eligibility and distribution criteria for the 2012ndash13 NRUF appropriations To be eligible to receive NRUF appropriations an institution must meet two mandatory criteria and four out of six optional criteria The mandatory criteria are that the institution is designated as an emerging research university within the THECBrsquos Accountability System and that the institution reported at least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the preceding two fiscal years Optional criteria include the following possession of an endowment fund values in excess of $400 million awarding over 200 Doctor of Philosophy degrees per year having an entering freshman class of high academic achievement recognition of institutionrsquos research capability and scholarly attainment possession of a high-quality faculty and possession of high-quality graduate education programs

APPENDIX B TUITION AND FEE PROVISIONS

VTCA Texas Education Code Section 54003 states No institution of higher education may collect from students attending the institution any tuition fee or charge of any kind except as permitted by lawhellip

The laws governing tuition and fees at institutions of higher education are found in Education Code Section 54 including a limited number of rules that relate to tuition and fees charged by junior and community colleges Education Code Section 54 includes statutes regarding statewide tuition and fee authority rules regarding residency for tuition and fee purposes and various exemptions for tuition and fees from nonresidency status Also it includes specific fee authority for individual institutions Figure B1 provides a listing of tuition and fee authorizations in Education Code Section 54 but does not include the items presented below or the various exemption and waiver provisions (Details about each provision can be found at httpwwwcapitolstate txus) Th ere are isolated instances outside Chapter 54 whereby the boards of regents are authorized to charge for specific services provided to students

This appendix highlights some of the more prominent tuition and fee provisions and indicates whether the related revenue is or is not included in the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT Tuition and fee revenue included in the GAA as General Revenue DedicatedndashFunds is referenced as ldquoOther Education and General Incomerdquo The amounts are ldquoEstimatedrdquo so whatever amount of revenue generated is the actual amount available to the institution to spend

54051 Tuition Rates (statutory tuition) In conjunction with Section 540512 Interim Tuition Rates resident tuition for undergraduate students reached $50 per semester credit hour in the 2005ndash06 academic year (the 2006 state fi scal year) Tuition for nonresident students at general academic medical and dental institutions is based on the average of nonresident tuition rates in the five most populous states other than Texas The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board must make this computation each academic year

54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board (also known as board authorized tuition) Applies to graduate programs Subsection (d) specifies that it is not to be used in the GAA as an offset to General Revenue Funds It is distributed across formula strategies after the formula calculation

54501 Laboratory Fees The fee amount must be sufficient to cover the general costs of laboratory materials and supplies used by a student It is not to be less than $2 or more than $30 per semester and it must not exceed the actual cost of materials and supplies

NOT INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT 540513 Designated Tuition Statute defi nes designated tuition as an institutional fund which means the revenue is not considered part of ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo Th e governing board can waive designated tuition for a student (see 54261) Statute specifies that this revenue not be used in the GAA as a way to offset General Revenue

54503 Student Services Fees This is intended for activities which are separate from the regularly scheduled academic functions of the institution and directly involve or benefi t students Except for The University of Texas at Austin (see 54513) and components of the University of Houston System (see 545061) the maximum of all compulsory student services cannot exceed $250 per semester It is kept separate from educational and general funds

54504 Incidental Fees The governing board sets the fee which must reasonably reflect the actual cost of the materials or services for which the fee is collected Examples of unearned fees include late registration library fi nes microfilming fees thesis or doctoral manuscript reproduction or filing fees and bad check charges

5516 Board Responsibility The governing board is authorized to ldquofix and collect rentals rates and chargesrdquo

APPENDIX C GLOSSARY

APPROPRIATION METHODOLOGIES Direct Appropriation The actual appropriation either estimated or sum certain listed in that institutionrsquos portion of the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

Indirect Appropriation An appropriation made on behalf of an institution but not listed in that institutionrsquos portion of the GAA Examples include appropriations to the Available University Fund the Higher Education Fund and the Higher Education Coordinating Board all of which are ultimately allocated to institutions

Estimated Appropriation An estimated appropriation is a figure in the GAA that best reflects the information available about the revenue source but the amount available for an institution to spend is contingent on the amount of revenue actually generated If the actual amount of revenue is less than the estimated amount the institution is limited to the lower amount If more revenue is generated than the estimated amount the institution can spend the higher amount

Sum Certain Appropriation A sum certain appropriation in the GAA means that an institution is limited to spend no more than the level of appropriation noted in the institutionrsquos bill pattern in the GAA

Lump Sum Appropriation Texas Education Code Section 61059(k) calls for flexibility in funds appropriated to higher education institutions A lump sum appropriation is a single amount that is unrestricted which means that it can be used for any variety of strategies The GAA provides an ldquoInformational Listing of Appropriated Fundsrdquo below each institutionrsquos lump sum appropriation Higher education institutions are not required to spend their appropriation within specified strategies One exception to this is the Tuition Revenue Bond strategy which represents the appropriation related to debt service on related bonds and must be spent as appropriated or it is reverted to the treasury

METHODS OF FINANCE General Revenue (GR) The non-dedicated portion of the General Revenue Fund is the statersquos primary operating fund Most state tax revenue many state fees and various other sources of revenue are deposited as non-dedicated General Revenue Funds

General RevenuendashDedicated (GRndashD) This is the dedicated portion of General Revenue Funds For higher education institutions the bulk of General RevenuendashDedicated Fund appropriations consist of tuition and fee revenue generated by the institutions These include the tuition and fee revenue included as ldquoOther Educational and General Incomerdquo (defined below) ldquoboard authorized tuitionrdquo (Texas Education Code Section 54008)

Other Funds State funds not included in General Revenue Funds or General RevenuendashDedicated Funds For institutions of higher education these include the Available University Fund and Patient Income generated by health-related institutions

FUND TYPES Educational and General Income Th e Texas Education Code (51009(c)) definition for ldquoEducational and General Fundsrdquo includes (a) net tuition (b) special course fees charged under Education Code Section 54051(e) and (l) (c) lab fees (d) student teaching fees (e) hospital and clinic fees (f ) organized activity fees and (g) proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment

Institutional Funds Texas Education Code Section 51009(b) defines institutional funds as those that are not ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo An example of an institutional fund is ldquodesignated tuitionrdquo (Texas Education Code Section 540513) These funds are not included in the GAA

Local Funds Texas Education Code Section 51009(a) defines local funds as net tuition certain special course fees lab fees student teaching fees hospital and clinic fees organized activity fees proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment and indirect cost recovery fees Th is revenue is accounted for as ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo and is included in the GAA

Other Educational and General Income The GAA includes some tuition and fees collected by institutions of higher education (General RevenuendashDedicated Funds) Th e revenue from tuition and fees such as statutory tuition (see texas Education Code Section 54051 Tuition Rates) board authorized tuition (see Texas Education Code Section 54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board) Laboratory

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 37

APPENDIX C GLOSSARY

Fees (Texas Education Code Section 54501) and certain other fees are considered Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG) and are appropriated in the GAA as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds Other Educational and General Income is a subset of Educational and General Income (EampG Income)

Patient Income Health-related institutions that operate hospitals or dental clinics generate patient income from services rendered It is allocated as a method of finance to the related institution across a range of strategies in the institutionrsquos bill pattern (Other Funds) For the 2010ndash11 biennium more than $48 billion in patient income was appropriated making it the largest method of fi nance for health-related institutions

OTHER ITEMS Indirect Cost Recovery Institutions negotiate a percentage of a grant with the federal government for Indirect Costs There are a number of factors included in the calculation including building and equipment use allowance operations and maintenance general departmental and sponsored projects administration and library costs

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

OVERVIEW General academic institutions are listed in the Texas Education Code (61003) Figure 4 lists the institutions and their enrollments All of the institutions have common goals of instruction research and public service however each has a unique set of academic offerings and a unique regional or statewide mission

General academic institutions receive direct appropriations via funding formulas and non-formula appropriations Direct appropriations are identified in the informational strategies of each institutionrsquos bill pattern in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) As mentioned earlier appropriations are made to institutions as a lump sum Th e informational strategies reflect how state funds are ldquoallocatedrdquo not how they must be spent This means that with a few exceptions higher education entities unlike other state agencies are not required to spend appropriations within a specified funding strategy

The appropriation levels in each strategy refl ect diff erent revenue sources such as General Revenue Funds General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (mostly tuition and fee revenue) and Other Funds These revenue sources are referred to as the ldquomethod of fi nancerdquo Figure 5 illustrates the method of finance for $74 billion in appropriations for general academic institutions including a number of the indirect appropriations referenced in the next paragraph but does not include appropriations for employee retirement benefi ts

There are also appropriations that benefit institutions that are not reflected in the bill pattern of individual institutions including the Higher Education Fund the Available National Research University Fund Available University Fund certain employee benefits and funds trusteed to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB)

Figure 6 presents the percentage of funding related to each of these direct and indirect appropriations All of these appropriations are further described in the following pages

In addition general academic institutions have access to funds not reflected in the state appropriations process Examples of this include indirect cost recovery certain tuition and fees such as ldquodesignated tuitionrdquo and ldquoincidental feesrdquo (both are described in Appendix B) auxiliary operations (ie revenue from athletics student services fees bookstore and parking) and grants and gifts

FORMULA FUNDING Nearly 573 percent of state appropriations for general academic institutions are allocated via two funding formulas and two supplements Instruction and Operations Formula Teaching Experience Supplement Infrastructure Formula

and Small Institution Supplement The formulas and supplements are direct appropriations and are primarily based on enrollment

The formula appropriations consist of General Revenue Funds and some Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG) Other EampG includes specific tuition and fee revenue (see Appendix B for a listing of tuition and fee provisions) The inclusion of certain tuition and fee revenue in the formula funding calculation is referred to as an ldquoAll Funds methodologyrdquo to formula funding Th e most significant tuition revenue included in the formula calculation is tuition charged in accordance with Texas Education Code Section 54051 Interim Tuition Rates (referred to as statutory tuition) The statutory tuition rate for the 2012ndash13 academic year is $50 per semester credit hour for Texas residents Th e corresponding tuition rate for a nonresident student is the average nonresident tuition charged to a Texas resident at a public university in each of the five most populous states

Of the $40 billion allocated by the general academic formulas and supplements nearly 728 percent consists of General Revenue Funds with the remainder consisting of General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (Other EampG)

A portion of Other EampG income is set aside for specifi c purposes or allocated to non-formula based strategies in the

institutionrsquos bill pattern For example institutions set aside a portion of their tuition to provide Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) TPEG are grants designed to help students cover their tuition fees and textbook costs when these expenses exceed a certain portion of their familiesrsquo contributions to their educations This set-aside revenue is not part of the tuition and fee revenue used to calculate the funding formulas

INSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS FORMULA

About 815 percent of formula funds flow through the Instruction and Operations Formula ($32716 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) and Teaching Experience Supplement ($957 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) Th e Instruction and Operations formula is calculated as follows

Semester Credit Hours X ProgramLevel Weight X Rate (5371)

Semester credit hours (SCH) are a measurement of how many classes (and the number of students enrolled in those classes) an institution delivers The formula calculation for a biennium uses a ldquobase periodrdquo of SCH The ldquobase periodrdquo used for the 2012ndash13 biennium was the combination of summer 2010 fall 2010 and spring 2011

SCH is weighted by discipline (eg nursing is weighted more than liberal arts) and by level (ie lower and upper division masters doctoral and professional) For instance a lower division liberal arts course receives a weight of 10 A doctoral level liberal arts course receives a weight of 923 A nursing lower division course receives a weight of 203 A doctoral nursing course receives a weight of 925 Beginning with the 2006ndash07 GAA the basis for the weights per discipline was shifted to an aggregation of actual costs based on institutions Annual Financial Reports Currently THECB uses a rolling three year average to adjust the weights each biennium

THECB recommends a rate based on its recommended weights and program enhancements The legislature sets the weights and the rate in the Higher Education Special Provisions of the GAA (page III-238) In practice the legislature has set the rate based on available funding including consideration of enrollment changes and other factors Figure 7 illustrates the Instruction and Operations Formula allocation to institutions

TEACHING EXPERIENCE SUPPLEMENT

For the 2012ndash13 biennium an additional weight of ten percent is added to lower-division and upper-division semester credit hours taught by tenured and tenure-track faculty The 2012ndash13 GAA includes the following language ldquoFurthermore it is the intent of the Legislature that the weight shall increase by 10 percent per biennium up to 50 percentrdquo (Special Provisions Relating Only to State Agencies of Higher Education Sec 28 page III-238 2012ndash13 GAA)

The Teaching Experience Supplement is calculated as follows

Semester Credit Hours X ProgramLevel Weight Supplement (10) X Rate (5371)

The Teaching Experience Supplement was 5 percent during the 1998ndash99 and 2000ndash01 biennia Th e Seventy-seventh Legislature 2001 increased the supplement to the current 10 percent in 2002ndash03 biennium

INFRASTRUCTURE FORMULA

Almost 16 percent of formula funds flow through the Infrastructure Formula and Small Institution Supplement ($6768 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) In addition to

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 7

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

the universities the State Colleges and components of Texas State Technical College also receive infrastructure formula appropriations This formula uses a statewide infrastructure rate which is set in the GAA The statewide infrastructure rate is divided into two rates an Adjusted Utility Rate and an All Other Rate As with the SCH rate the legislature has set the rate based on available funding including consideration of changes in institutional space and other factors

The Infrastructure Formula is calculated as follows

(Adjusted Utility Rate + All Other Rates) X Predicted Square Feet

The Adjusted Utility Rate is 52 percent of the statewide infrastructure rate The 52 percent reflects the percentage of infrastructure formula funds that institutions historically spent on utilities A statewide utility rate is determined and then adjusted for each institution to reflect utility costs relative to other institutions

The All Other Rate is 48 percent of the statewide infrastructure rate and remains constant among institutions It accounts for physical plant grounds maintenance and custodial services

THECBrsquos Space Projection Model for Higher Education Institutions in Texas (space model) estimates square footage for each institution The objective of the space model projection is to calculate the amount of space an institution needs based on the following

bull number program and level of semester credit hours

bull number of faculty non-faculty students programs and library holdings and

bull research and current EampG expenditures

NON-FORMULA FUNDING

SPECIAL ITEMS

Special Item appropriations to the institutions total $4836 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium In 2012ndash13 $69 million was appropriated to system offices for special items These are direct appropriations to institutions for projects that are not funded by formula but are specifi cally identifi ed by the legislature as needing support An institution is not required to spend the amount identified in a Special Item strategy for that particular project but expenditure reports indicate that institutions often use an entire appropriation along with additional funding for the related project

The majority of special item funding is through the Institutional Enhancement strategy Institutional Enhancement is a $2204 million appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium This is a direct appropriation to institutions and was established by the Seventy-sixth Legislature 1999 for the 2000ndash01 biennium Th e fi rst Institutional Enhancement appropriation was based on a consolidation of certain Special Item appropriations in 1999 and an additional $1 million per year was appropriated for each institution Examples of consolidated special items are items that could be funded through the formulas such as general institutional academic and research support

For the 2002ndash03 biennium there was an additional $1 million increase in appropriations for most institutions and a $15 million increase for selected institutions in South Texas and the border region Institutions that benefi ted signifi cantly from the Seventy-seventh Legislaturersquos new University Research and Texas Excellence Funds (House Bill 1839 Seventy-seventh Legislature 2001) or from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) ldquoexcellence fundingrdquo did not receive an increase in Institutional Enhancement funds for the 2002ndash03 biennium

Other Special Items total $2632 million in appropriations for the 2012ndash13 biennium and include the following institutional and instructional support public service items research items other than general research support funding for separate campuses and accreditation program items

TEXAS COMPETITIVE KNOWLEDGE FUND

The Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund (TCKF) is authorized by the General Appropriations Act (GAA) (2012ndash13 Biennium) Article III Higher Education Special Provisions Section 56 The GAA prescribes that this funding will be used to support faculty for the purpose of instructional excellence and research Funding was first allocated in these strategies by the Legislature for the 2008ndash09 biennium

Current institutions receiving TCKF appropriations include The University of Texas at Austin Texas AampM University University of Houston Texas Tech University and Th e University of Texas at Dallas Institutions are allocated funding appropriated to the TCKF based on average research expenditures for the previous three-year period Th e Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 appropriated $935 million in Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund strategies directly to the institutions This funding level provides approximately $07 million to each institution for every $100 million in research expenditures In practice

RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT FUND

The Research Development Fund was created by House Bill 3526 Seventy-eighth Legislature Regular Session 2003 and replaced the Texas Excellence and University Research Funds effective September 1 2005 The intent was to combine the Texas Excellence Fund and University Research Fund into a new fund applying a uniform allocation methodology based on a three-year average of each institutionrsquos restricted research expenditures Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature allocated $653 million (Figure 10) in the 2012ndash13 biennium to individual institutions to fund objectives identical to the Research Development Fund (Section 62091)

TEXAS RESEARCH INCENTIVE PROGRAM

Th e Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009 established the Texas Research Incentive Program (TRIP) at THECB to match state appropriations with certain gifts and endowments received by emerging research universities Th e goal of this $178 million a year program is to create more Tier One universities in Texas

PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE INITIATIVE

The Eightieth Legislature 2007 appropriated $100 million in fiscal year 2009 to THECB to establish a Higher Education Performance Incentive Initiative The funding was for ldquoimprovement in teaching and educational excellence at Texas public general academic institutionsrdquo THECB distributed $80 million for increases in degrees awarded with special weights given to critical fields and at-risk students The remaining $20 million was used to fund scholarships for students graduating in the top 10 percent of their high school class

Th e Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009 maintained the $80 million for the higher education performance incentive initiative (funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) and increased funding for the Top Ten Percent scholarship program by $34 million bringing total appropriations for the program to $54 million

There were no performance funding incentives for the 2012ndash13 biennium For the 2012ndash13 biennium $396

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 provided $444 million in General Revenue Funds hold harmless funding for aff ected institutions to minimize the effect of reduced formula and special item funding Decreases in formula funding could be caused by declining enrollment a shift from upper level or graduate semester credit hours to lower level hours a much smaller increase in enrollment that other institutions or a change in utility costs

CAPITAL FUNDS

In addition to the constitutional funds discussed in the next subsection there are three types of state appropriation for capital funds tuition revenue bonds Skiles Act revenue bonds and lease payments Almost all of the direct appropriations to institutions related to capital funds are for debt service on tuition revenue bonds

A $5931 million General Revenue Funds appropriation was made for tuition revenue bond debt service for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Tuition revenue bonds must be authorized in statute Once an authorization is made institutions issue bonds and make related debt payments with tuition revenue Th e Texas Public Finance Authority issues tuition revenue bonds for Midwestern State University Stephen F Austin University Texas Southern University and the Texas State Technical Colleges Legislative practice has been to use General Revenue Funds to reimburse institutions for the costs related to this debt service

The legislature first authorized tuition revenue bonds in 1971 In some instances the authorization was a lump sum for the benefit of specific institutions During the Seventy-eighth Legislature 2003 $2689 million in tuition revenue bonds was authorized for specific projects at various higher education institutions The Seventy-ninth Legislature Th ird Called Session 2005 adopted House Bill 153 which authorized the issuance of $1858 billion in tuition revenue bonds for forty-four different institutions Only one tuition revenue bond (House Bill 1775) was adopted by the Eightieth Legislature 2007 for a $13 million nursing building at Stephen F Austin University Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature 2009 authorized one tuition revenue bond for Texas AampM University at Galveston The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not authorize any new tuition revenue bonds

The authority for Skiles Act Revenue Bonds was repealed in 1997 It had allowed institutions to pledge up to $5 from each enrolled student for each regular semester to the payment of bonds authorized under the governing boardrsquos general authority to sell revenue bonds Institutions use their Other Educational and General Income (General Revenuendash Dedicated Funds) to pay the debt service on these previously authorized bonds This is a $10 million appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Three general academic institutions receive a $3 million General Revenue Fund appropriation for lease payments to community colleges for facilities

CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

These funds are appropriated separately in the GAA and not directly appropriated to the institutions (see Appendix D)

The Available University Fund (AUF) established in Section 18 Article VII Texas Constitution consists of the surface income and investment proceeds from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) a state endowment with land grants totaling 21 million acres

Distributions to the AUF consist of investment returns from PUF assets surface income from PUF lands and interest earned on AUF balances For the 2012ndash13 biennium investment returns were $12200 million surface income was $398 million and interest income was $59 million Income from the sale of PUF lands and the lease of mineral interest is retained in the PUF and invested

The total 2012ndash13 estimated appropriation for the AUF is $12660 million The Constitution appropriates two-thirds of the AUF to The University of Texas System and one-third to the Texas AampM University System The two systems may use the AUF for capital purposes (debt service on PUF bonds) for most of their institutions and ldquofor the support and maintenancerdquo of other institutions listed Entities authorized to receive funding for ldquosupport and maintenancerdquo which is now commonly referred to as ldquoAUF Excellence Fundingrdquo are the two system offi ces The University of Texas at Austin Texas AampM University and Prairie View AampM University The systemsrsquo boards of regents determine allocations to individual institutions including health-related institutions and the amounts for ldquoExcellencerdquo Figure 11 lists the recipients and the type of support they received

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

The HEF is supported by General Revenue Fund appropriations

The distribution of the $525 million HEF appropriation for 2012ndash13 is provided for in statute (Texas Education Code Section 62021) The Constitution calls for a re-allocation of HEF funds every ten years The Seventy-ninth Legislature Regular Session fulfilled this requirement with the enactment of House Bill 3001

The Constitution also allows the legislature to adjust the decennial allocations every five years Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature Regular Session 2011 exercised this authority by enacting House Bill 51 which adjusted the formula allocation for the HEF funds for fiscal years 2009 through 2015

To maintain the equitable distribution of the HEF appropriation House Bill 51 also corrected the distribution of fiscal year 2009 and 2010 HEF allocations by using revised formula calculations Using these revised formula calculations House Bill 51 factored in updated data elements to generate the annual HEF allocations for the fi ve-year period starting in fiscal year 2011

HEF funds must be used for capital purposes Institutions may use HEF allocations for debt service on HEF bonds or as cash

In 1995 the Texas Constitution was amended to authorize the creation and funding of a dedicated HEF corpus known as the Permanent Higher Education Fund (PHEF) Th is corpus was separate from the annual HEF allocation of General Revenue Funds The PHEF was intended to become a permanent endowment to support non-PUF eligible institutions but never reached its targeted value of $2 billion

The PHEF corpus of $5159 million was rededicated with the enactment of Proposition 4 which amended Article 7 of the Texas Constitution by establishing the National Research University Fund (NRUF) The balance of the PHEF was transferred to the NRUF on January 1 2010 and the authorization for the PHEF expired Proposition 4 also allowed the legislature to appropriate some or all of the total returns from the NRUF to provide a source of funding to enable emerging research universities to achieve national prominence

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 appropriated $124 million in estimated NRUF proceeds to eligible institutions in the 2012ndash13 biennium

House Bill 1000 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 established the specific eligibility and distribution criteria for the 2012ndash13 NRUF appropriations To be eligible to receive NRUF appropriations an institution must meet two mandatory criteria and four out of six optional criteria The mandatory criteria are that the institution in designated as an emerging research university within the Higher Education Coordinating Boardrsquos Accountability System and that the institution reported at least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the preceding two fi scal years Optional criteria include the following possession of an endowment fund values in excess of $400 million awarding over 200 Doctor of Philosophy degrees per year having an entering freshman class of high academic achievement recognition of the institutions research capability and scholarly attainment possession of a high-quality faculty and possession of high-quality graduate education programs Texas Tech University and the University of Houston are the only two institutions that received funding through this program in 2012

HIGHER EDUCATION GROUP INSURANCE (HEGI)

The $4631 million General Revenue Fund appropriation for higher education group insurance (HEGI) is not a direct appropriation in the institutionsrsquo bill patterns It is appropriated in a separate section of the GAA entitled ldquoHigher Education Employees Group Insurance Contributionsrdquo This appropriation is intended to help institutions cover the cost of health insurance premiums for institution employees whose salaries are paid from the General Revenue Fund Because The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own health insurance programs they each receive separate appropriations The remaining institutions are included in the program operated by the Employees Retirement System (ERS)

The HEGI appropriation is sum-certain That is the Statersquos General Revenue Fund contributions are limited to each institutionrsquos number of employees enrolled in the health insurance program as of December 1 2012 However the GAA allows ERS The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems to transfer HEGI appropriations among institutions within their respective group insurance programs to address shortfalls in General Revenue Funds related to group insurance premiums

SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS

An appropriation for social security is included in the GAA at the end of Article III It is an estimated General Revenue

Fund appropriation to provide the employer matching funds for employees of institutions of higher education (Th is appropriation amount is not included in Figure 3 on page 2)

STAFF GROUP INSURANCE

Staff group insurance is for staff whose salaries are not paid with General Revenue Funds (GR) The appropriation is based on an estimation of the number of non-GR funded employees at an institution as of December 1 2010 Th e total appropriation for all general academic institutions is $1766 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium The method of finance is Other Educational and General Income (which is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds)

RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS

Appropriations for retirement contributions are included under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) bill patterns Some higher education employees primarily faculty and top administrators are eligible for ORP a defi ned contribution plan similar to a 401k Other higher education employees participate in TRS a defi ned benefit plan The state funds retirement contributions for TRS equal to 60 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal year 2012 and 64 percent in 2013 State contributions for ORP are equal to 60 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal years 2012 and 2013 (Th ese appropriation amounts are not included in Figure 3 on page 2)

OTHER NON-FORMULA FUNDING

WORKERSrsquo COMPENSATION

Changes in the structure of the statewide workersrsquo compensation system resulted in most institutions receiving General Revenue Fund appropriations for Workersrsquo Compensation starting in 2006ndash07 However Th e University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own workersrsquo compensation pools while all other institutions are part of the State Office of Risk Managementrsquos workersrsquo compensation pool

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

Most components of The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems have this strategy because they operate their own risk pools Th ese institutions receive General Revenue Fund appropriations for unemployment compensation insurance The appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium is $05 million in General Revenue Funds Th e Texas Workforce Commission receives an appropriation to

cover unemployment benefi ts for former state employees for all other higher education institutions

TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANTS

According to statute (Texas Education Code Chapter 56 Subchapter C and Texas Education Code Section 54051 [Statutory Tuition]) institutions must set aside a portion of tuition revenue for Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) Fifteen percent of each resident studentrsquos tuition and 3 percent of each nonresident studentrsquos tuition are set aside for financial aid to students at the institution Texas Education Code Section 56033 provides guidelines on the allocation of TPEG revenue The GAA includes an estimate of the amount of TPEG revenue each institution will generate Th is $2111 million estimated appropriation is considered Other Educational and General Income which are classifi ed as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY

Indirect costs as defined by The Comptroller of Public Accounts are ldquoincurred for a common or joint purpose benefiting more than one cost objectiverdquo Institutions negotiate a percentage of a federal grant for indirect costs There are a number of factors included in the calculation including building and equipment use allowance operations and maintenance general departmental and sponsored projects administration and library costs

The Seventy-eighth Legislature 2003 allowed universities to retain 100 percent of indirect costs income from research grants and contracts to encourage further research projects conducted by universities

FORMULA FUNDING The three primary funding formulas for health-related institutions are Instruction and Operations support Infrastructure support and Research Enhancement Th e University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Th e University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler have additional formula allocations to accommodate their unique missions Each health-related institution also receives formula funding for graduate medical education

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 15

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

General Revenue funding and some Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated) fund the formulas Like general academic institutions certain tuition revenue is used in the calculation of the Instruction and Operation support and Infrastructure support formulas Of the $15 billion that is allocated by the health-related institutionsrsquo primary formulas 939 percent is from the General Revenue Fund and the remaining 61 percent is from General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (tuition and fee revenue)

Some tuition and fee income is set aside for specifi c purposes Some specific amounts are unavailable for formula purposes and consequently are not a formula method of fi nance For example health-related institutions set aside a portion of their tuition to provide Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) and Medical Loans

INSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS SUPPORT FORMULA

The Instruction and Operations (IampO) support formula represents nearly 755 percent of the primary formula funds for health-related institutions ($9282 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) It is intended to fund items such as faculty salaries departmental operating expenses instructional administration and libraries It is allocated on a per full-time student equivalent (FTSE) basis with a funding weight predicated on the instructional program of the student This formula applies to all health-related

institutions except The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler which did not offer education instruction during the base period for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Figure 15 illustrates the Instruction and Operations support formula among the eight health-related institutions

The Instruction and Operations support formula is calculated as follows

(FTSE X Program Weight X $8874) + SmallMultiple Campus Supplement

FTSE is weighted by discipline For example medicine (4753) is weighted more than pharmacy (1670) Allied Health is assigned a weight of 1000

The Legislature sets the weights and the rate ($8874 adjusted for the 2012ndash13 biennium) in the Higher Education Special Provisions of the GAA (Sec 29 page III-239 and 240) The rate is calculated based on the available revenue for the formula and the number of FTSEs

Programs with enrollments less than 200 receive a Small Campus Supplement (see Figure 16)

INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT FORMULA

The Infrastructure support formula is 194 percent of the primary formula funding and is intended for utilities and physical plant support ($2383 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) This formula calculation is similar to that for general academic institutions but includes only one rate ($655) for all institutions except The University of Texas

THECBrsquos space model predicts square footage for each institution The space model projection is based on the following

bull number and level of FTE students

bull number of faculty

bull single or multiple programs and campuses

RESEARCH FORMULA

Health-related institutions generate state appropriations to support research through General Revenue Funds in the Research Enhancement formula ($629 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) The Research Enhancement formula accounts for 51 percent of the primary formula funds and is funded entirely from the General Revenue Fund

The allocation is based on the amount of research generated by each institution

CHEST DISEASE CENTER FORMULA

The Chest Disease Center operations formula which was established during the 2010ndash11 biennium applies only to The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler Th e University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler has a statutory mission to conduct research develop diagnostic and treatment techniques provide training and teaching programs and provide diagnosis and treatment of inpatients and outpatients with respiratory diseases The Chest Disease Center formula is based on the number of primary chest disease patients the institution served Approximately $472 million in General Revenue Funds are appropriated for the 2012ndash13 biennium

CANCER CENTER OPERATIONS FORMULA

The Eightieth Legislature 2007 established in the GAA an Operations formula for funding The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has a statutory mission to eliminate cancer through patient care research education

and prevention The Operations formula funding is based on the total number of Texas cancer patients the institution served The Operations formula growth in funding may not exceed the average growth in funding for health-related institutions in the Instruction and Operations support formula for the current biennium For the 2012ndash13 biennium this funding formula provided $2125 million in General Revenue Funds

NON-FORMULA FUNDING

PATIENT CARE ACTIVITIES

Some institutions conduct patient care activities generally medical or dental For the 2012ndash13 biennium the estimated appropriation for Patient Income was $56 billion Th e hospital and clinic revenues earned through patient care activities are considered Other Funds which are part of Educational and General Income (not to be confused with Other Educational and General Income which is another subset of Educational and General Income) General Revenue funding supplements patient-care income to varying degrees at each institution Patient Income is an estimated appropriation and is spread across an institutionrsquos funding strategies however it is not used in the calculation of the formulas

INSTITUTIONAL ENHANCEMENT

Institutional Enhancement is a General Revenue Fund appropriation that started in the 2000ndash01 biennium It is designed to allow each institution to address its unique needs and diseconomies of scale at institutions with smaller campuses The total institutional enhancement appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium was $42 million which includes $407 million in General Revenue Funds and $16 million in Patient Income

SPECIAL ITEMS

Special items are activities that are not generally funded through the formulas and typically represent an institutionrsquos special needs or areas of expertise The $3107 million in General Revenue Funds for the 2012ndash13 biennium funds items such as residency programs academic outreach programs public service items and research items other than general research support Institutions propose and justify special items and request an amount for each on an ad hoc basis Special items generally remain constant from biennium to biennium unless the item was a one-time expense (eg tornado damage repairs) or the institution has not used the funding for the intended purpose

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

These funds are not directly appropriated to institutions in the GAA In other words these funds are not found in a strategy within an institutionrsquos bill pattern

Health-related institutions are eligible for funding from the Available University Fund ($146 million in Other Funds allocated to these institutions by system offices for the 2012ndash 13 biennium) and the Higher Education Fund ($257 million in General Revenue Funds appropriated for the 2012ndash13 biennium) which are presented in detail in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section of this report

CAPITAL FUNDS

Just like general academic institutions tuition revenue bonds ($1665 million in General Revenue Funds for related debt service in the 2012ndash13 biennium) are also used to fund capital projects at health-related institutions A detailed presentation of tuition revenue bonds is in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center also have separate appropriations for capital projects that are funded primarily with Patient Income

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Like general academic institutions health-related institutions benefit from direct and indirect state appropriations related to employee benefi ts The indirect appropriations include Higher Education Group Insurance ($2339 million in General Revenue Funds for the 2012ndash13 biennium) Retirement Contributions and Social Security Benefi ts (all presented in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section) The direct appropriations include Staff Group Insurance

For the 2012ndash13 biennium the Workersrsquo Compensation and Unemployment Compensation strategies (all presented in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section) are funded directly with General Revenue Funds and General RevenuendashDedicated Funds However The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own workersrsquo compensation pools while all other institutions are part of the State Office of Risk Managementrsquos workersrsquo compensation pool The University of Texas and Texas AampM Systems also manage their own unemployment compensation coverage while all other institutions receive coverage from

the Texas Workforce Commission which receives an appropriation to cover unemployment benefi ts

TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANTS

Health-related institutions similar to general academic institutions are subject to the Texas Education Code (sect56031 et al) provision requiring a portion of tuition revenue be set aside to fund Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) For the 2012ndash13 biennium the estimated TPEG appropriation is $188 million This revenue is considered Other Education and General Income which is classifi ed as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY

As mentioned earlier in this section Indirect Cost Recovery was removed from the GAA for the 2010ndash11 biennium however the individual institution still receives the funds

TOBACCO SETTLEMENT

House Bill 1945 Seventy-sixth Legislature 1999 established the Permanent Health Fund for health-related institutions of Higher Education the Permanent Fund for Minority Health Research and Education the Permanent Fund for Higher Education Nursing Allied Health and Other Health Related Programs and 13 permanent endowments for individual institutions of higher education The $769 million in estimated interest earnings from the endowments for 2012ndash13 (based on estimated interest earnings of 45 percent each year) were appropriated to the health-related institutions

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

OVERVIEW Public two-year lower-level institutions include 50 community and junior college districts four Texas State Technical College (TSTC) campuses and three Lamar State Colleges These institutions were appropriated $22 billion in state funding for the 2012ndash13 biennium Preliminary fall FIGURE 20 TWO-YEAR INSTITUTION FUNDING MECHANISMS 2012ndash13 BIENNIUM

2011 enrollment at these institutions totaled 789713 Figure 20 illustrates the funding mechanisms for these institutions Community colleges accounted for 983 percent of this enrollment total while the Texas State Technical and Lamar State Colleges composed the remaining portion

COMMUNITY COLLEGES

Instruction and Administration General Revenue Funds from the state are based on contact hour driven formulas for two-year institutions Tuition and fee revenues and local tax revenues augment state General Revenue Funds for these costs

Academic Courses Approximately 82 percent of the total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are academic courses

Technical Courses Approximately 18 percent of the total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are vocationaltechnical courses

Physical Plant The state provides no funding for physical plant operations and maintenance Local taxing districts are expected to provide support for physical plant needs Community colleges are projected to receive approximately $12 billion in tax income in fiscal year 2011

Facilities Local communities must provide facilities Community colleges are not eligible to receive Higher Education Fund (HEF) allocations Available University Fund allocations or state tuition revenue bonds

Employee Benefits While community college employees are locally-employed community colleges participate in the Employee Retirement System (ERS) Group Benefits Program for health benefi ts and the Teacher Retirement System(TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) for retirement benefits The state makes General Revenue Fund contributions for the health and retirement benefits

Tuition Fee Revenues Tuition and fee revenues are considered institutional funds and are not appropriated by the state Tuition rates vary by institution In 2012 the statewide tuition rates plus fees averaged $73 per semester credit hour but varied from $34 to $208 per semester credit hour

Local Tax Revenue Community Colleges are projected to receive approximately $12 billion in tax income in fiscal year 2011 Local tax revenues are expected to provide support for physical plant needs and augment state General Revenue Funds for instruction and administration costs

TSTCLAMAR COLLEGES

Instruction and Administration General Revenue Funds from the state are based on formulas for two-year institutions Tuition and fee revenues augment General Revenue Funds for these costs

Academic Courses Approximately 39 percent at the Lamar colleges and 28 percent at Texas State Technical College (TSTC) of total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are academic courses

Technical Courses Approximately 61 percent at the Lamar colleges and 72 percent at TSTC of total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are vocationaltechnical courses

Physical Plant State funding based on the formula for general academic institutions The Lamar colleges will receive approximately $71 million and TSTC will receive $157 million in General Revenue Funds for physical plant and utilities in the 2012ndash13 biennium

Facilities The Lamar colleges receive approximately $42 million annually from HEF funds and TSTC receives almost $58 million annually The HEF monies are used to acquire land construct and equip buildings provide major building repair or rehabilitation and acquire capital equipment and library materials

Employee Benefits Both the Lamar colleges and TSTC institutions participate in ERSrsquo Group Benefits Program for health benefits and the TRS and ORP programs for retirement benefits The state makes General Revenue Fund contributions for the health and retirement benefits of those employees having their salaries paid with General Revenue Funds

Tuition Fee Revenues Certain tuition revenue is appropriated by the state In 2012 for resident students average tuition plus fees was $139 per semester credit hour at the Lamar colleges and $150 per semester credit hour at TSTC

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 21

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

These institutions are primarily funded based on student contact hours A contact hour is a standard unit of measure that represents an hour of scheduled academic and technical instruction given to students during a semester Community and junior college districts generate almost 958 percent of the state-funded contact hours at two-year institutions TSTC components generate approximately 29 percent of the contact hours and the three Lamar State Colleges account for the 13 percent

COMMUNITY COLLEGES Over 99 percent of the direct appropriations to community colleges are from the General Revenue Fund and are generated through a funding formula The remaining direct appropriations are for isolated ldquospecial itemsrdquo including appropriations for the Southwest Collegiate Institute for the Deaf which is part of the appropriation for Howard College The Texas Education Code Section 130003(a) calls for state appropriations to public community colleges to ldquosupplement local funds for the proper support maintenance operation and improvement of those public junior colleges of Texas that meet the standards prescribed by the chapterrdquo Further Education Code Section 130003(c) indicates that state funds must be used ldquoexclusively for the purpose of paying salaries of instructional and administrative forceshellip and the purchase of supplies and materials for instructional purposesrdquo

Consistent with statute community colleges have their own Instruction and Administration Formula which is funded by General Revenue Funds and based on ldquostudent contact hoursrdquo Unlike general academic institution formulas this formula does not include tuition and fee revenue as part of the method of fi nance

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 also provided $45 million to certain districts through a new small institution supplemental formula A district is eligible for the supplement if it makes a significantly above-average effort to generate tax income while at the same time experiencing below-average tax revenue and does not have a number of contact hours that exceeds the statewide median Th e Eighty-second Legislature appropriated each eligible district $05 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium

No state funding is provided for physical plant operations and maintenance or for facilities that is supported by local tax eff ort

Three community colleges receive weighted semester credit hour formula funding for a Bachelor of Applied Technology degree program

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

Th e Eighty-first Legislature 2009 provided $153 million in General Revenue formula hold harmless funding for aff ected community colleges to minimize the effect of reduced formula funding as a result of overall contact hour declines The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not provide any hold harmless funding in the 2012ndash13 biennium

Property taxes tuition and fees are other major sources of revenue for community colleges Figure 21 illustrates the estimated sources of funding for community colleges Th e state appropriations in Figure 21 include all formula special item Higher Education Group Insurance appropriations and retirement benefi t appropriations

FORMULA FUNDING

The basis of the formula starts with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) Report of Fundable Operating Expenses (RFOE) (formally called the All Funds Expenditure Report) The study includes all expenditures for instruction and administration (facilities costs are not included) in 26 program areas THECB uses the expenditure data to determine the median cost in the 26 program areasmdashthe ldquoratesrdquo for contact hours in those disciplines THECB then makes a recommendation for

LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 22

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

funding based on the rates Over the years THECB has used various methodologies as the basis for its funding recommendations Because the RFOE takes into account all funds (state appropriations plus tuition and tax revenue which are not appropriated) THECBrsquos recommendation for state funding has generally not equaled 100 percent of the rates

The amount of the appropriation is a legislative decision based on funds available The appropriation is allocated to the colleges according to each districtrsquos pro-rata share of THECB recommendations

HIGHER EDUCATION GROUP INSURANCE (HEGI)

Like state institutions of higher education community colleges receive General Revenue Fund contributions for group insurance However since community college employees are local not state employees state contributions for health benefits are fully discretionary Other agencies and institutions of higher education report employee eligibility for General Revenue-funded group health insurance benefi ts only if the employeersquos salary is directly paid with General Revenue Funds However in the past community colleges tended to base eligibility for General Revenue-funded benefits if the employeersquos job function fell under an approved ldquoelement of costrdquo This practice caused community colleges to report eligibility for state funded health benefits in a manner that did not always match the source of the employeersquos salary

This practice led to the Governorrsquos veto of the Group Health Insurance appropriation for fiscal year 2009 ($154 million) at the end of the Eightieth Legislative session However an agreement to restore the vetoed funds was reached and returned directly to the districts in House Bill 4586 Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009

The Eight-Second Legislature 2011 allowed community colleges to receive General Revenue Fund contributions for employees whose job function fell under an approved ldquoelement of costrdquo However the Legislature only funded 42 percent of the premium costs for these employees

OTHER STAFF BENEFITS

Appropriations for retirement contributions are included under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) bill patterns Some higher education employees primarily faculty and certain administrators are eligible for ORP a defi ned contribution plan similar to a 401k Other higher education employees

participate in TRS a defi ned benefit plan In both instances the state funds retirement contributions equal 60 and 64 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal year 2012 and fi scal year 2013 respectively (These appropriation amounts are not included in Figure 2 on page 3)

DRAMATIC ENROLLMENT GROWTH

Since the 1996ndash97 biennium public community colleges have received ldquoDramatic Enrollment Growth Fundingrdquo For the 2000ndash01 biennium this was expanded to include Texas State Technical Colleges and Lamar State Colleges (Lamars) The appropriation was made to THECB Rider 13 page IIIshy53 General Appropriations Act (2010ndash11 Biennium) provided guidelines for distributing this funding

For the 2010ndash11 biennium THECB is authorized to allocate up to $175 million per year to schools experiencing a growth rate of five percent or greater in 2010 and eight percent or greater in 2011 The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not provide any dramatic enrollment growth funding in the 2012-13 biennium

OTHER TRUSTEED FUNDS

Students at community colleges also benefi t from Texas Educational Opportunity Grants the student fi nancial aid program appropriation that is allocated by THECB

TEXAS STATE TECHNICAL COLLEGE LAMAR STATE COLLEGES The Texas State Technical Colleges (TSTC) and Lamar State Colleges are allocated a majority of their appropriation via two formulas the Instruction and Administration Formula for two-year institutions and the Infrastructure Formula for general academic institutions Similar to general academic institutions the tuition revenue for these colleges is included in the appropriations bill

Contact hours for vocationaltechnical courses represent approximately 61 percent of total contact hours at the Lamar State Colleges and 72 percent at TSTC institutions Th e remaining contact hours are generated from academic and continuing education courses

Facilities funding is available from the Higher Education Fund for both TSTC and the Lamars State Colleges and both have received Tuition Revenue Bond authorizations

FUNDING TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES

There are seven research and service agencies that are administered by the Texas AampM University System Th e system agenciesrsquo missions differ from other institutions of higher education in that each system agency focuses on one or two of the three traditional missions of higher education institutions research extension and service (Figure 22)

FIGURE 22 TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES MISSIONS AND FUNCTIONS

STATUTORY AUTHORITY MISSIONFUNCTIONS

For the 2012ndash13 biennium the total direct appropriations for Texas AampM System (System) agencies are $8897 million In addition to state appropriations the System agencies receive some Federal Funds that are not included in the General Appropriations Act and have access to private funds While System agencies have significant portions of their Other Funds and Federal Funds appropriated the appropriations are estimated and actual income from these funding sources is subject to signifi cant variation

FUNDING TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES

FIGURE 23 TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES COMPARED TO INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION

SIMILARITIES

FUNDING

Both Texas AampM System (System) agencies and institutions of higher education have considerable flexibility in their budgeting and financial operations (ldquolump sumrdquo appropriations)

Both are eligible to receive proceeds from the Permanent University Fund

Both are considered to be institutions of higher education for purposes of employee group health insurance

Both System agencies and institutions of higher education generate and keep 100 percent of indirect cost recovery from research and other grants

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

OPERATIONS

Like other institutions of higher education System agencies are not required to submit operating budgets or strategic plans

Both are statutorily embedded within the Texas AampM Systemrsquos institutional framework

SOURCE Legislative Budget Board

DIFFERENCES

General academic health-related and two-year institutions receive formula funding while System agencies do not

Texas AampM System agencies do not generate revenue in the same manner or amount of other higher education institutions

Performance measures for the System agencies are agency-specific while performance measures for other higher education institutions are standardized

In several ways state funding for System agencies is similar to funding for higher education institutions System agencies have considerable flexibility in their budgeting and fi nancial operations because they receive lump-sum appropriations in the same manner as other institutions of higher education They are eligible to receive funds from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) (They were allocated $153 million from the PUF for debt service in the 2012ndash13 biennium) System agencies are also funded in the same manner as other institutions of higher education with regard to staff benefi ts including employee group health insurance contributions

However there are several funding diff erences between System agencies and other higher education institutions Most significantly System agencies do not receive formula-based funding Also while some System agencies may charge fees for their services they do not generate tuition and fees in the same manner or quantity as other institutions of higher education

As is the case with all institutions the System agencies keep 100 percent of their respective indirect cost recovery income

because this income is derived from earnings on federal grants and is held outside the treasury

For the 2012ndash13 biennium funding associated with infrastructure expenses and utilities for System agencies inside Brazos County is equal to the infrastructure rate (as determined by the General Academic formulas on page 6) for Texas AampM University

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q What are the limitations on how institutions spend state appropriations

A Generally speaking institutions have great fl exibility in spending appropriated funds however some limitations do exist depending on the source of revenue Appropriated revenue includes General Revenue Funds General Revenuendash Dedicated Funds (mostly tuition and fee income) Other Funds (including Patient Income) and Federal Funds (for certain Texas AampM System Agencies) Th e Texas Constitution (Article VII Section 18(i) and 17(j)) prohibits with limited exceptions the use of General Revenue Funds for acquiring land or for construction projects An exception occurs when the legislature by two-thirds vote in each house expressly determines that there is a demonstrated need for the project

Various provisions in the 2012ndash13 General Appropriations Act (GAA) Higher Education Special Provisions restrict state appropriations These restrictions include the following

bull Section 6 (Rider 8b) which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for auxiliary enterprises

bull Section 6 (Rider 9) which limits the use of these funds to pay debt service for statutorily authorized tuition revenue bonds Any such appropriation not spent must be returned to the General Revenue Fund at the end of the year

bull Section 9 which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for intercollegiate athletics purposes and

bull Section 54 which limits the use of the Research Development Fund to those defined in Education Code Section 62091

Q Would an increase in tuition revenue replace a corresponding amount in General Revenue Funds or would the revenue remain within the institution

A The result depends on how the Legislature responds

For instance assume that the Eight-second Legislature 2011 changed the statute to require institutions to charge nonresident tuition in circumstances where they had previously waived the nonresident tuition rate For the 2012ndash13 biennium institutions would benefit fully from the

increase in tuition revenue (This assumes the formula calculation would not include a projected increase in tuition)

However institutional appropriations in the 2014ndash15 biennium now depend on that legislation passed in the Eighty-third Legislature 2013 Assuming the same number of students (semester credit hours) enroll regardless of changes in tuition policy and that the result of charging nonresident tuition generated $100 million in additional tuition revenue there are three options

1 Reduce General Revenue Funds (GR) in the formulas by $100 million In this scenario the formula rate stays the same and every dollar increase in tuition revenue results in a dollar decrease in GRmdashinstitutional funding does not increase

2 Keep GR the same and run the additional tuition revenue through the formulas Th e formula funding rate would increase and every institution would receive more funds including those institutions that generated no additional tuition revenue

3 Keep GR formula appropriations at the same level and let individual institutions keep the additional tuition revenue they generated outside the formula allocation

Q Are all tuition and fee revenues collected by institutions of higher education included in the appropriations bill

A No None of the tuition and fee revenues collected by community colleges are appropriated

For general academic institutions an estimate of the revenue from certain tuitions and fees such as statutory tuition (Education Code 54051 Tuition Rates) board authorized tuition (Education Code 54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board) Laboratory Fees (Education Code 54501) and certain other fees are appropriated in the GAA as General Revenue FundsndashDedicated Estimated Other Educational and General Income There are a number of other tuitions and fees that are not included in the GAA and therefore not referred to as state funding Such tuitions and fees include but are not limited to designated tuition (Education Code 540513 Redesignation of Building Use Fee) and Incidental Fees (Education Code 54504) Federal

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 27

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Funds are also not appropriated to the general academic and health-related institutions

Q Is a decrease in enrollment the only reason an institution would be eligible for formula funding hold harmless

A No Each session the Legislature makes a determination of whether it will make an appropriation for formula hold harmless A decrease in total enrollment is one reason an institution could be eligible for the funding Because the semester credit hours (general academic institutions) full-time student equivalents (health-related institutions) used in the formulas are based on weights (discipline program and course level) a change in the type of student enrollment regardless of total enrollment could also make an institution eligible for hold harmless funding

Q What are Educational and General Funds

A ldquoOther Educational and General Incomerdquo is a subset of ldquoEducational and General Incomerdquo The following are included in the Education Code (51009(c)) defi nition for ldquoEducational and General Fundsrdquo net tuition special course fees charged under Education Code 54051(e) and (l) lab fees student teaching fees hospital and clinic fees organized activity fees and proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment

Q What does it mean to be a Tier One institution

A The Tier One reference is often derived from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teachingrsquos prior system for classifying institutions of higher education As part of the 1994 version of the Carnegie Classification there were four categories for doctorate granting institutions Research Universities I Research Universities II Doctoral Universities I and Doctoral Universities II ldquoTier Onerdquo was synonymous with Research Universities I Such institutions had to off er a full range of baccalaureate programs award 50 or more doctoral degrees each year and receive annually at least $40 million or more in federal research funds Two institutions in Texas (The University of Texas at Austin and Texas AampM University) met these criteria The 2000 version of the Carnegie Classification collapsed the categories for doctorate granting institutions from four to two Doctoral Research UniversitiesmdashExtensive and DoctoralResearch UniversitiesmdashIntensive Six public institutions in Texas (Texas AampM University Texas Tech University University of Houston University of North Texas The University of Texas at Arlington and The University of Texas at Austin) meet the criteria for DoctoralResearch Universitiesmdash

Extensive In 2005 however the classifi cation structure returned to a more restricted top tier of institutions classifi ed as ldquoResearch Universities (very high research activity)rdquo Both The University of Texas at Austin and Texas AampM University are now counted in this category but any reference to Tier One usually refers to the 1994 Carnegie Classifi cation

Q What is the space model What is the base number of square feet needed

A In 1992 the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approved the Space Projection Model for Higher Education Institutions in Texas for public universities to assess the net assignable square feet (NASF) of educational and general space an institution needs There are fi ve categories incorporated into the model teaching library research offi ce and support space Space needs for auxiliary purposes such as dormitories or athletics are not included in the model Square footage amounts are assigned based on a number of elements within each category including the number of students and their program levels and the amount of research expenditures The space model was fi rst incorporated into the funding formulas for general academic institutions in 1997

Q What are ldquoOrganized Activitiesrdquo

A General academic institutions have a funding strategy titled ldquoOrganized Activitiesrdquo These are activities or enterprises that are connected with instructional departments Th ey are intended primarily to give training to students Examples include a university farm nurserypreschool programs an optometry clinic and lifeguard training

Q What are tuition revenue bonds

A Established in 1971 under Education Code 5513 tuition revenue bonds are bonds (not to exceed 50 years) issued by institutions of higher education for the purpose of ldquoproviding funds to acquire purchase construct improve enlarge andor equip any property buildings structures activities services operations or other facilities for and on behalf of its institution or institutions or any branch of branches thereofrdquo Each institutionsystem is authorized and required to pay debt service on its bonds Although the authorization and issuance of the bonds is not contingent on an appropriation by the state for related debt service the Legislature has provided General Revenue Funds to reimburse institutions for costs related to debt service However in the 2004ndash05 GAA the legislature changed this practice and only provided General Revenue Fund reimbursements for interest

LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 28

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

on bonds issued after March 31 2003 The 2006ndash07 GAA renewed the practice of reimbursing institutions for the costs related to debt service The 2008ndash09 GAA and 2010-11 GAA continues this practice

Q What Is Proportionality

A Pursuant to Section 608 of Article IX of the 2012ndash13 GAA the legislative intent of proportionality is to ldquomaximize balances in the General Revenue Fundrdquo by harmonizing salary funding source with benefits funding source Th is effectively means the Legislature limits its General Revenue Fund contributions for benefits only to those employees having salaries paid with General Revenue Funds As such proportionality requires employee health and retirement benefits be paid in ldquoproportionrdquo to the funding source of salaries To this end institutions are obligated to submit the Accounting Policy Statement 011 Benefits Proportional by Fund (APS 011) report to the Comptroller Th is document provides a structure by which state and local contributions are ldquosettled uprdquo in light of the fiscal years fund proportionality

Q What Is the National Research University Fund

A In 1995 the Texas Constitution was amended to authorize the creation and funding of the Permanent Higher Education Fund (PHEF) The PHEF was intended eventually to become a permanent endowment to support non-Permanent University Fund eligible institutions However the PHEF corpus was rededicated with the voter passage of Proposition 4 which amended Article 7 of the Texas Constitution by establishing the National Research University Fund (NRUF) In 2009 Proposition 4 transferred the balance of the PHEF to the credit of the NRUF as of January 1 2010 and repealed the constitutional authorization for the PHEF

The NRUF is intended to provide a source of funding to enable emerging research universities in Texas to achieve national prominence as major research universities Article VII of the Texas Constitution authorizes the Legislature to appropriate some or all of the total return on all investment assets of the NRUF for the purposes of the fund except for two caveats (1) the Legislature may not increase distributions from the fund if the purchasing power of investment assets for any rolling 10-year period is not preserved and (2) the amount appropriated from the proceeds of the NRUF corpus in any fiscal year must be capped at 7 percent of the investment assetsrsquo average net fair market value Until the NRUF has been invested long enough to determine its purchasing power over a 10-year period the Legislature is

authorized to use other means of preserving the purchasing power of the fund

House Bill 1000 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 establishes the specific eligibility and distribution criteria for the 2012ndash13 NRUF appropriations To be eligible to receive NRUF appropriations an institution must meet two mandatory criteria and four out of six optional criteria The mandatory criteria are that the institution is designated as an emerging research university within the THECBrsquos Accountability System and that the institution reported at least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the preceding two fiscal years Optional criteria include the following possession of an endowment fund values in excess of $400 million awarding over 200 Doctor of Philosophy degrees per year having an entering freshman class of high academic achievement recognition of institutionrsquos research capability and scholarly attainment possession of a high-quality faculty and possession of high-quality graduate education programs

APPENDIX B TUITION AND FEE PROVISIONS

VTCA Texas Education Code Section 54003 states No institution of higher education may collect from students attending the institution any tuition fee or charge of any kind except as permitted by lawhellip

The laws governing tuition and fees at institutions of higher education are found in Education Code Section 54 including a limited number of rules that relate to tuition and fees charged by junior and community colleges Education Code Section 54 includes statutes regarding statewide tuition and fee authority rules regarding residency for tuition and fee purposes and various exemptions for tuition and fees from nonresidency status Also it includes specific fee authority for individual institutions Figure B1 provides a listing of tuition and fee authorizations in Education Code Section 54 but does not include the items presented below or the various exemption and waiver provisions (Details about each provision can be found at httpwwwcapitolstate txus) Th ere are isolated instances outside Chapter 54 whereby the boards of regents are authorized to charge for specific services provided to students

This appendix highlights some of the more prominent tuition and fee provisions and indicates whether the related revenue is or is not included in the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT Tuition and fee revenue included in the GAA as General Revenue DedicatedndashFunds is referenced as ldquoOther Education and General Incomerdquo The amounts are ldquoEstimatedrdquo so whatever amount of revenue generated is the actual amount available to the institution to spend

54051 Tuition Rates (statutory tuition) In conjunction with Section 540512 Interim Tuition Rates resident tuition for undergraduate students reached $50 per semester credit hour in the 2005ndash06 academic year (the 2006 state fi scal year) Tuition for nonresident students at general academic medical and dental institutions is based on the average of nonresident tuition rates in the five most populous states other than Texas The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board must make this computation each academic year

54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board (also known as board authorized tuition) Applies to graduate programs Subsection (d) specifies that it is not to be used in the GAA as an offset to General Revenue Funds It is distributed across formula strategies after the formula calculation

54501 Laboratory Fees The fee amount must be sufficient to cover the general costs of laboratory materials and supplies used by a student It is not to be less than $2 or more than $30 per semester and it must not exceed the actual cost of materials and supplies

NOT INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT 540513 Designated Tuition Statute defi nes designated tuition as an institutional fund which means the revenue is not considered part of ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo Th e governing board can waive designated tuition for a student (see 54261) Statute specifies that this revenue not be used in the GAA as a way to offset General Revenue

54503 Student Services Fees This is intended for activities which are separate from the regularly scheduled academic functions of the institution and directly involve or benefi t students Except for The University of Texas at Austin (see 54513) and components of the University of Houston System (see 545061) the maximum of all compulsory student services cannot exceed $250 per semester It is kept separate from educational and general funds

54504 Incidental Fees The governing board sets the fee which must reasonably reflect the actual cost of the materials or services for which the fee is collected Examples of unearned fees include late registration library fi nes microfilming fees thesis or doctoral manuscript reproduction or filing fees and bad check charges

5516 Board Responsibility The governing board is authorized to ldquofix and collect rentals rates and chargesrdquo

APPENDIX C GLOSSARY

APPROPRIATION METHODOLOGIES Direct Appropriation The actual appropriation either estimated or sum certain listed in that institutionrsquos portion of the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

Indirect Appropriation An appropriation made on behalf of an institution but not listed in that institutionrsquos portion of the GAA Examples include appropriations to the Available University Fund the Higher Education Fund and the Higher Education Coordinating Board all of which are ultimately allocated to institutions

Estimated Appropriation An estimated appropriation is a figure in the GAA that best reflects the information available about the revenue source but the amount available for an institution to spend is contingent on the amount of revenue actually generated If the actual amount of revenue is less than the estimated amount the institution is limited to the lower amount If more revenue is generated than the estimated amount the institution can spend the higher amount

Sum Certain Appropriation A sum certain appropriation in the GAA means that an institution is limited to spend no more than the level of appropriation noted in the institutionrsquos bill pattern in the GAA

Lump Sum Appropriation Texas Education Code Section 61059(k) calls for flexibility in funds appropriated to higher education institutions A lump sum appropriation is a single amount that is unrestricted which means that it can be used for any variety of strategies The GAA provides an ldquoInformational Listing of Appropriated Fundsrdquo below each institutionrsquos lump sum appropriation Higher education institutions are not required to spend their appropriation within specified strategies One exception to this is the Tuition Revenue Bond strategy which represents the appropriation related to debt service on related bonds and must be spent as appropriated or it is reverted to the treasury

METHODS OF FINANCE General Revenue (GR) The non-dedicated portion of the General Revenue Fund is the statersquos primary operating fund Most state tax revenue many state fees and various other sources of revenue are deposited as non-dedicated General Revenue Funds

General RevenuendashDedicated (GRndashD) This is the dedicated portion of General Revenue Funds For higher education institutions the bulk of General RevenuendashDedicated Fund appropriations consist of tuition and fee revenue generated by the institutions These include the tuition and fee revenue included as ldquoOther Educational and General Incomerdquo (defined below) ldquoboard authorized tuitionrdquo (Texas Education Code Section 54008)

Other Funds State funds not included in General Revenue Funds or General RevenuendashDedicated Funds For institutions of higher education these include the Available University Fund and Patient Income generated by health-related institutions

FUND TYPES Educational and General Income Th e Texas Education Code (51009(c)) definition for ldquoEducational and General Fundsrdquo includes (a) net tuition (b) special course fees charged under Education Code Section 54051(e) and (l) (c) lab fees (d) student teaching fees (e) hospital and clinic fees (f ) organized activity fees and (g) proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment

Institutional Funds Texas Education Code Section 51009(b) defines institutional funds as those that are not ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo An example of an institutional fund is ldquodesignated tuitionrdquo (Texas Education Code Section 540513) These funds are not included in the GAA

Local Funds Texas Education Code Section 51009(a) defines local funds as net tuition certain special course fees lab fees student teaching fees hospital and clinic fees organized activity fees proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment and indirect cost recovery fees Th is revenue is accounted for as ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo and is included in the GAA

Other Educational and General Income The GAA includes some tuition and fees collected by institutions of higher education (General RevenuendashDedicated Funds) Th e revenue from tuition and fees such as statutory tuition (see texas Education Code Section 54051 Tuition Rates) board authorized tuition (see Texas Education Code Section 54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board) Laboratory

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 37

APPENDIX C GLOSSARY

Fees (Texas Education Code Section 54501) and certain other fees are considered Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG) and are appropriated in the GAA as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds Other Educational and General Income is a subset of Educational and General Income (EampG Income)

Patient Income Health-related institutions that operate hospitals or dental clinics generate patient income from services rendered It is allocated as a method of finance to the related institution across a range of strategies in the institutionrsquos bill pattern (Other Funds) For the 2010ndash11 biennium more than $48 billion in patient income was appropriated making it the largest method of fi nance for health-related institutions

OTHER ITEMS Indirect Cost Recovery Institutions negotiate a percentage of a grant with the federal government for Indirect Costs There are a number of factors included in the calculation including building and equipment use allowance operations and maintenance general departmental and sponsored projects administration and library costs

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

OVERVIEW General academic institutions are listed in the Texas Education Code (61003) Figure 4 lists the institutions and their enrollments All of the institutions have common goals of instruction research and public service however each has a unique set of academic offerings and a unique regional or statewide mission

General academic institutions receive direct appropriations via funding formulas and non-formula appropriations Direct appropriations are identified in the informational strategies of each institutionrsquos bill pattern in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) As mentioned earlier appropriations are made to institutions as a lump sum Th e informational strategies reflect how state funds are ldquoallocatedrdquo not how they must be spent This means that with a few exceptions higher education entities unlike other state agencies are not required to spend appropriations within a specified funding strategy

The appropriation levels in each strategy refl ect diff erent revenue sources such as General Revenue Funds General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (mostly tuition and fee revenue) and Other Funds These revenue sources are referred to as the ldquomethod of fi nancerdquo Figure 5 illustrates the method of finance for $74 billion in appropriations for general academic institutions including a number of the indirect appropriations referenced in the next paragraph but does not include appropriations for employee retirement benefi ts

There are also appropriations that benefit institutions that are not reflected in the bill pattern of individual institutions including the Higher Education Fund the Available National Research University Fund Available University Fund certain employee benefits and funds trusteed to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB)

Figure 6 presents the percentage of funding related to each of these direct and indirect appropriations All of these appropriations are further described in the following pages

In addition general academic institutions have access to funds not reflected in the state appropriations process Examples of this include indirect cost recovery certain tuition and fees such as ldquodesignated tuitionrdquo and ldquoincidental feesrdquo (both are described in Appendix B) auxiliary operations (ie revenue from athletics student services fees bookstore and parking) and grants and gifts

FORMULA FUNDING Nearly 573 percent of state appropriations for general academic institutions are allocated via two funding formulas and two supplements Instruction and Operations Formula Teaching Experience Supplement Infrastructure Formula

and Small Institution Supplement The formulas and supplements are direct appropriations and are primarily based on enrollment

The formula appropriations consist of General Revenue Funds and some Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG) Other EampG includes specific tuition and fee revenue (see Appendix B for a listing of tuition and fee provisions) The inclusion of certain tuition and fee revenue in the formula funding calculation is referred to as an ldquoAll Funds methodologyrdquo to formula funding Th e most significant tuition revenue included in the formula calculation is tuition charged in accordance with Texas Education Code Section 54051 Interim Tuition Rates (referred to as statutory tuition) The statutory tuition rate for the 2012ndash13 academic year is $50 per semester credit hour for Texas residents Th e corresponding tuition rate for a nonresident student is the average nonresident tuition charged to a Texas resident at a public university in each of the five most populous states

Of the $40 billion allocated by the general academic formulas and supplements nearly 728 percent consists of General Revenue Funds with the remainder consisting of General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (Other EampG)

A portion of Other EampG income is set aside for specifi c purposes or allocated to non-formula based strategies in the

institutionrsquos bill pattern For example institutions set aside a portion of their tuition to provide Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) TPEG are grants designed to help students cover their tuition fees and textbook costs when these expenses exceed a certain portion of their familiesrsquo contributions to their educations This set-aside revenue is not part of the tuition and fee revenue used to calculate the funding formulas

INSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS FORMULA

About 815 percent of formula funds flow through the Instruction and Operations Formula ($32716 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) and Teaching Experience Supplement ($957 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) Th e Instruction and Operations formula is calculated as follows

Semester Credit Hours X ProgramLevel Weight X Rate (5371)

Semester credit hours (SCH) are a measurement of how many classes (and the number of students enrolled in those classes) an institution delivers The formula calculation for a biennium uses a ldquobase periodrdquo of SCH The ldquobase periodrdquo used for the 2012ndash13 biennium was the combination of summer 2010 fall 2010 and spring 2011

SCH is weighted by discipline (eg nursing is weighted more than liberal arts) and by level (ie lower and upper division masters doctoral and professional) For instance a lower division liberal arts course receives a weight of 10 A doctoral level liberal arts course receives a weight of 923 A nursing lower division course receives a weight of 203 A doctoral nursing course receives a weight of 925 Beginning with the 2006ndash07 GAA the basis for the weights per discipline was shifted to an aggregation of actual costs based on institutions Annual Financial Reports Currently THECB uses a rolling three year average to adjust the weights each biennium

THECB recommends a rate based on its recommended weights and program enhancements The legislature sets the weights and the rate in the Higher Education Special Provisions of the GAA (page III-238) In practice the legislature has set the rate based on available funding including consideration of enrollment changes and other factors Figure 7 illustrates the Instruction and Operations Formula allocation to institutions

TEACHING EXPERIENCE SUPPLEMENT

For the 2012ndash13 biennium an additional weight of ten percent is added to lower-division and upper-division semester credit hours taught by tenured and tenure-track faculty The 2012ndash13 GAA includes the following language ldquoFurthermore it is the intent of the Legislature that the weight shall increase by 10 percent per biennium up to 50 percentrdquo (Special Provisions Relating Only to State Agencies of Higher Education Sec 28 page III-238 2012ndash13 GAA)

The Teaching Experience Supplement is calculated as follows

Semester Credit Hours X ProgramLevel Weight Supplement (10) X Rate (5371)

The Teaching Experience Supplement was 5 percent during the 1998ndash99 and 2000ndash01 biennia Th e Seventy-seventh Legislature 2001 increased the supplement to the current 10 percent in 2002ndash03 biennium

INFRASTRUCTURE FORMULA

Almost 16 percent of formula funds flow through the Infrastructure Formula and Small Institution Supplement ($6768 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) In addition to

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 7

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

the universities the State Colleges and components of Texas State Technical College also receive infrastructure formula appropriations This formula uses a statewide infrastructure rate which is set in the GAA The statewide infrastructure rate is divided into two rates an Adjusted Utility Rate and an All Other Rate As with the SCH rate the legislature has set the rate based on available funding including consideration of changes in institutional space and other factors

The Infrastructure Formula is calculated as follows

(Adjusted Utility Rate + All Other Rates) X Predicted Square Feet

The Adjusted Utility Rate is 52 percent of the statewide infrastructure rate The 52 percent reflects the percentage of infrastructure formula funds that institutions historically spent on utilities A statewide utility rate is determined and then adjusted for each institution to reflect utility costs relative to other institutions

The All Other Rate is 48 percent of the statewide infrastructure rate and remains constant among institutions It accounts for physical plant grounds maintenance and custodial services

THECBrsquos Space Projection Model for Higher Education Institutions in Texas (space model) estimates square footage for each institution The objective of the space model projection is to calculate the amount of space an institution needs based on the following

bull number program and level of semester credit hours

bull number of faculty non-faculty students programs and library holdings and

bull research and current EampG expenditures

Figure 8 illustrates the Infrastructure Formula allocation to institutions The similarity of the allocation to the Instruction and Operations Formula allocation demonstrates the influence of enrollment on both formula allocations

SMALL INSTITUTION SUPPLEMENT

Prior to the Eighty-fi rst Legislature (2009) general academic institutions with enrollments of less than 5000 received a $750000 annual Small Institution Supplement However the Eighty-first Legislature increased the enrollment threshold to 10000 students and implemented a phase-out

NON-FORMULA FUNDING

SPECIAL ITEMS

Special Item appropriations to the institutions total $4836 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium In 2012ndash13 $69 million was appropriated to system offices for special items These are direct appropriations to institutions for projects that are not funded by formula but are specifi cally identifi ed by the legislature as needing support An institution is not required to spend the amount identified in a Special Item strategy for that particular project but expenditure reports indicate that institutions often use an entire appropriation along with additional funding for the related project

The majority of special item funding is through the Institutional Enhancement strategy Institutional Enhancement is a $2204 million appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium This is a direct appropriation to institutions and was established by the Seventy-sixth Legislature 1999 for the 2000ndash01 biennium Th e fi rst Institutional Enhancement appropriation was based on a consolidation of certain Special Item appropriations in 1999 and an additional $1 million per year was appropriated for each institution Examples of consolidated special items are items that could be funded through the formulas such as general institutional academic and research support

For the 2002ndash03 biennium there was an additional $1 million increase in appropriations for most institutions and a $15 million increase for selected institutions in South Texas and the border region Institutions that benefi ted signifi cantly from the Seventy-seventh Legislaturersquos new University Research and Texas Excellence Funds (House Bill 1839 Seventy-seventh Legislature 2001) or from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) ldquoexcellence fundingrdquo did not receive an increase in Institutional Enhancement funds for the 2002ndash03 biennium

Other Special Items total $2632 million in appropriations for the 2012ndash13 biennium and include the following institutional and instructional support public service items research items other than general research support funding for separate campuses and accreditation program items

TEXAS COMPETITIVE KNOWLEDGE FUND

The Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund (TCKF) is authorized by the General Appropriations Act (GAA) (2012ndash13 Biennium) Article III Higher Education Special Provisions Section 56 The GAA prescribes that this funding will be used to support faculty for the purpose of instructional excellence and research Funding was first allocated in these strategies by the Legislature for the 2008ndash09 biennium

Current institutions receiving TCKF appropriations include The University of Texas at Austin Texas AampM University University of Houston Texas Tech University and Th e University of Texas at Dallas Institutions are allocated funding appropriated to the TCKF based on average research expenditures for the previous three-year period Th e Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 appropriated $935 million in Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund strategies directly to the institutions This funding level provides approximately $07 million to each institution for every $100 million in research expenditures In practice

RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT FUND

The Research Development Fund was created by House Bill 3526 Seventy-eighth Legislature Regular Session 2003 and replaced the Texas Excellence and University Research Funds effective September 1 2005 The intent was to combine the Texas Excellence Fund and University Research Fund into a new fund applying a uniform allocation methodology based on a three-year average of each institutionrsquos restricted research expenditures Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature allocated $653 million (Figure 10) in the 2012ndash13 biennium to individual institutions to fund objectives identical to the Research Development Fund (Section 62091)

TEXAS RESEARCH INCENTIVE PROGRAM

Th e Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009 established the Texas Research Incentive Program (TRIP) at THECB to match state appropriations with certain gifts and endowments received by emerging research universities Th e goal of this $178 million a year program is to create more Tier One universities in Texas

PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE INITIATIVE

The Eightieth Legislature 2007 appropriated $100 million in fiscal year 2009 to THECB to establish a Higher Education Performance Incentive Initiative The funding was for ldquoimprovement in teaching and educational excellence at Texas public general academic institutionsrdquo THECB distributed $80 million for increases in degrees awarded with special weights given to critical fields and at-risk students The remaining $20 million was used to fund scholarships for students graduating in the top 10 percent of their high school class

Th e Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009 maintained the $80 million for the higher education performance incentive initiative (funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) and increased funding for the Top Ten Percent scholarship program by $34 million bringing total appropriations for the program to $54 million

There were no performance funding incentives for the 2012ndash13 biennium For the 2012ndash13 biennium $396

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 provided $444 million in General Revenue Funds hold harmless funding for aff ected institutions to minimize the effect of reduced formula and special item funding Decreases in formula funding could be caused by declining enrollment a shift from upper level or graduate semester credit hours to lower level hours a much smaller increase in enrollment that other institutions or a change in utility costs

CAPITAL FUNDS

In addition to the constitutional funds discussed in the next subsection there are three types of state appropriation for capital funds tuition revenue bonds Skiles Act revenue bonds and lease payments Almost all of the direct appropriations to institutions related to capital funds are for debt service on tuition revenue bonds

A $5931 million General Revenue Funds appropriation was made for tuition revenue bond debt service for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Tuition revenue bonds must be authorized in statute Once an authorization is made institutions issue bonds and make related debt payments with tuition revenue Th e Texas Public Finance Authority issues tuition revenue bonds for Midwestern State University Stephen F Austin University Texas Southern University and the Texas State Technical Colleges Legislative practice has been to use General Revenue Funds to reimburse institutions for the costs related to this debt service

The legislature first authorized tuition revenue bonds in 1971 In some instances the authorization was a lump sum for the benefit of specific institutions During the Seventy-eighth Legislature 2003 $2689 million in tuition revenue bonds was authorized for specific projects at various higher education institutions The Seventy-ninth Legislature Th ird Called Session 2005 adopted House Bill 153 which authorized the issuance of $1858 billion in tuition revenue bonds for forty-four different institutions Only one tuition revenue bond (House Bill 1775) was adopted by the Eightieth Legislature 2007 for a $13 million nursing building at Stephen F Austin University Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature 2009 authorized one tuition revenue bond for Texas AampM University at Galveston The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not authorize any new tuition revenue bonds

The authority for Skiles Act Revenue Bonds was repealed in 1997 It had allowed institutions to pledge up to $5 from each enrolled student for each regular semester to the payment of bonds authorized under the governing boardrsquos general authority to sell revenue bonds Institutions use their Other Educational and General Income (General Revenuendash Dedicated Funds) to pay the debt service on these previously authorized bonds This is a $10 million appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Three general academic institutions receive a $3 million General Revenue Fund appropriation for lease payments to community colleges for facilities

CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

These funds are appropriated separately in the GAA and not directly appropriated to the institutions (see Appendix D)

The Available University Fund (AUF) established in Section 18 Article VII Texas Constitution consists of the surface income and investment proceeds from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) a state endowment with land grants totaling 21 million acres

Distributions to the AUF consist of investment returns from PUF assets surface income from PUF lands and interest earned on AUF balances For the 2012ndash13 biennium investment returns were $12200 million surface income was $398 million and interest income was $59 million Income from the sale of PUF lands and the lease of mineral interest is retained in the PUF and invested

The total 2012ndash13 estimated appropriation for the AUF is $12660 million The Constitution appropriates two-thirds of the AUF to The University of Texas System and one-third to the Texas AampM University System The two systems may use the AUF for capital purposes (debt service on PUF bonds) for most of their institutions and ldquofor the support and maintenancerdquo of other institutions listed Entities authorized to receive funding for ldquosupport and maintenancerdquo which is now commonly referred to as ldquoAUF Excellence Fundingrdquo are the two system offi ces The University of Texas at Austin Texas AampM University and Prairie View AampM University The systemsrsquo boards of regents determine allocations to individual institutions including health-related institutions and the amounts for ldquoExcellencerdquo Figure 11 lists the recipients and the type of support they received

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

The HEF is supported by General Revenue Fund appropriations

The distribution of the $525 million HEF appropriation for 2012ndash13 is provided for in statute (Texas Education Code Section 62021) The Constitution calls for a re-allocation of HEF funds every ten years The Seventy-ninth Legislature Regular Session fulfilled this requirement with the enactment of House Bill 3001

The Constitution also allows the legislature to adjust the decennial allocations every five years Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature Regular Session 2011 exercised this authority by enacting House Bill 51 which adjusted the formula allocation for the HEF funds for fiscal years 2009 through 2015

To maintain the equitable distribution of the HEF appropriation House Bill 51 also corrected the distribution of fiscal year 2009 and 2010 HEF allocations by using revised formula calculations Using these revised formula calculations House Bill 51 factored in updated data elements to generate the annual HEF allocations for the fi ve-year period starting in fiscal year 2011

HEF funds must be used for capital purposes Institutions may use HEF allocations for debt service on HEF bonds or as cash

In 1995 the Texas Constitution was amended to authorize the creation and funding of a dedicated HEF corpus known as the Permanent Higher Education Fund (PHEF) Th is corpus was separate from the annual HEF allocation of General Revenue Funds The PHEF was intended to become a permanent endowment to support non-PUF eligible institutions but never reached its targeted value of $2 billion

The PHEF corpus of $5159 million was rededicated with the enactment of Proposition 4 which amended Article 7 of the Texas Constitution by establishing the National Research University Fund (NRUF) The balance of the PHEF was transferred to the NRUF on January 1 2010 and the authorization for the PHEF expired Proposition 4 also allowed the legislature to appropriate some or all of the total returns from the NRUF to provide a source of funding to enable emerging research universities to achieve national prominence

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 appropriated $124 million in estimated NRUF proceeds to eligible institutions in the 2012ndash13 biennium

House Bill 1000 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 established the specific eligibility and distribution criteria for the 2012ndash13 NRUF appropriations To be eligible to receive NRUF appropriations an institution must meet two mandatory criteria and four out of six optional criteria The mandatory criteria are that the institution in designated as an emerging research university within the Higher Education Coordinating Boardrsquos Accountability System and that the institution reported at least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the preceding two fi scal years Optional criteria include the following possession of an endowment fund values in excess of $400 million awarding over 200 Doctor of Philosophy degrees per year having an entering freshman class of high academic achievement recognition of the institutions research capability and scholarly attainment possession of a high-quality faculty and possession of high-quality graduate education programs Texas Tech University and the University of Houston are the only two institutions that received funding through this program in 2012

HIGHER EDUCATION GROUP INSURANCE (HEGI)

The $4631 million General Revenue Fund appropriation for higher education group insurance (HEGI) is not a direct appropriation in the institutionsrsquo bill patterns It is appropriated in a separate section of the GAA entitled ldquoHigher Education Employees Group Insurance Contributionsrdquo This appropriation is intended to help institutions cover the cost of health insurance premiums for institution employees whose salaries are paid from the General Revenue Fund Because The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own health insurance programs they each receive separate appropriations The remaining institutions are included in the program operated by the Employees Retirement System (ERS)

The HEGI appropriation is sum-certain That is the Statersquos General Revenue Fund contributions are limited to each institutionrsquos number of employees enrolled in the health insurance program as of December 1 2012 However the GAA allows ERS The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems to transfer HEGI appropriations among institutions within their respective group insurance programs to address shortfalls in General Revenue Funds related to group insurance premiums

SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS

An appropriation for social security is included in the GAA at the end of Article III It is an estimated General Revenue

STAFF GROUP INSURANCE

Staff group insurance is for staff whose salaries are not paid with General Revenue Funds (GR) The appropriation is based on an estimation of the number of non-GR funded employees at an institution as of December 1 2010 Th e total appropriation for all general academic institutions is $1766 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium The method of finance is Other Educational and General Income (which is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds)

RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS

Appropriations for retirement contributions are included under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) bill patterns Some higher education employees primarily faculty and top administrators are eligible for ORP a defi ned contribution plan similar to a 401k Other higher education employees participate in TRS a defi ned benefit plan The state funds retirement contributions for TRS equal to 60 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal year 2012 and 64 percent in 2013 State contributions for ORP are equal to 60 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal years 2012 and 2013 (Th ese appropriation amounts are not included in Figure 3 on page 2)

OTHER NON-FORMULA FUNDING

WORKERSrsquo COMPENSATION

Changes in the structure of the statewide workersrsquo compensation system resulted in most institutions receiving General Revenue Fund appropriations for Workersrsquo Compensation starting in 2006ndash07 However Th e University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own workersrsquo compensation pools while all other institutions are part of the State Office of Risk Managementrsquos workersrsquo compensation pool

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

Most components of The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems have this strategy because they operate their own risk pools Th ese institutions receive General Revenue Fund appropriations for unemployment compensation insurance The appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium is $05 million in General Revenue Funds Th e Texas Workforce Commission receives an appropriation to

cover unemployment benefi ts for former state employees for all other higher education institutions

TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANTS

According to statute (Texas Education Code Chapter 56 Subchapter C and Texas Education Code Section 54051 [Statutory Tuition]) institutions must set aside a portion of tuition revenue for Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) Fifteen percent of each resident studentrsquos tuition and 3 percent of each nonresident studentrsquos tuition are set aside for financial aid to students at the institution Texas Education Code Section 56033 provides guidelines on the allocation of TPEG revenue The GAA includes an estimate of the amount of TPEG revenue each institution will generate Th is $2111 million estimated appropriation is considered Other Educational and General Income which are classifi ed as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY

Indirect costs as defined by The Comptroller of Public Accounts are ldquoincurred for a common or joint purpose benefiting more than one cost objectiverdquo Institutions negotiate a percentage of a federal grant for indirect costs There are a number of factors included in the calculation including building and equipment use allowance operations and maintenance general departmental and sponsored projects administration and library costs

The Seventy-eighth Legislature 2003 allowed universities to retain 100 percent of indirect costs income from research grants and contracts to encourage further research projects conducted by universities

Like other higher education institutions the appropriations for health-related institutions are a lump sum and funding strategies are presented for informational purposes in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) The funding strategies in a health-related institutionrsquos bill pattern represent how state funds are allocated but not how they must be spent Also certain methods of finance in the appropriation are estimated This means that if for example patient income for an institution is above the amount included in the GAA

the institution can spend more than the amount listed in the GAA

Also health-related institutions have access to an estimated $109 billion outside the appropriations process in 2012ndash13 Examples of this include certain tuition revenue indirect lost recovery grants and gifts

FORMULA FUNDING The three primary funding formulas for health-related institutions are Instruction and Operations support Infrastructure support and Research Enhancement Th e University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Th e University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler have additional formula allocations to accommodate their unique missions Each health-related institution also receives formula funding for graduate medical education

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

General Revenue funding and some Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated) fund the formulas Like general academic institutions certain tuition revenue is used in the calculation of the Instruction and Operation support and Infrastructure support formulas Of the $15 billion that is allocated by the health-related institutionsrsquo primary formulas 939 percent is from the General Revenue Fund and the remaining 61 percent is from General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (tuition and fee revenue)

Some tuition and fee income is set aside for specifi c purposes Some specific amounts are unavailable for formula purposes and consequently are not a formula method of fi nance For example health-related institutions set aside a portion of their tuition to provide Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) and Medical Loans

INSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS SUPPORT FORMULA

The Instruction and Operations (IampO) support formula represents nearly 755 percent of the primary formula funds for health-related institutions ($9282 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) It is intended to fund items such as faculty salaries departmental operating expenses instructional administration and libraries It is allocated on a per full-time student equivalent (FTSE) basis with a funding weight predicated on the instructional program of the student This formula applies to all health-related

institutions except The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler which did not offer education instruction during the base period for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Figure 15 illustrates the Instruction and Operations support formula among the eight health-related institutions

The Instruction and Operations support formula is calculated as follows

(FTSE X Program Weight X $8874) + SmallMultiple Campus Supplement

FTSE is weighted by discipline For example medicine (4753) is weighted more than pharmacy (1670) Allied Health is assigned a weight of 1000

The Legislature sets the weights and the rate ($8874 adjusted for the 2012ndash13 biennium) in the Higher Education Special Provisions of the GAA (Sec 29 page III-239 and 240) The rate is calculated based on the available revenue for the formula and the number of FTSEs

Programs with enrollments less than 200 receive a Small Campus Supplement (see Figure 16)

INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT FORMULA

The Infrastructure support formula is 194 percent of the primary formula funding and is intended for utilities and physical plant support ($2383 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) This formula calculation is similar to that for general academic institutions but includes only one rate ($655) for all institutions except The University of Texas

THECBrsquos space model predicts square footage for each institution The space model projection is based on the following

bull number and level of FTE students

bull number of faculty

bull single or multiple programs and campuses

bull actual clinical space and

bull research and current EampG expenditures

Because the space projection model does not account for hospital space separate infrastructure funding for hospital space is included in the total funding for hospital and patient-care activities at The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

RESEARCH FORMULA

Health-related institutions generate state appropriations to support research through General Revenue Funds in the Research Enhancement formula ($629 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) The Research Enhancement formula accounts for 51 percent of the primary formula funds and is funded entirely from the General Revenue Fund

The allocation is based on the amount of research generated by each institution

$1412500 + (110 X Research

Expenditures)

This provides a base Institutions report for all institutions current research

regardless of research expenditures to volume THECB

Figure 18 illustrates the Research Enhancement formula allocation to the institutions among the nine health-related institutions

GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION

The Seventy-ninth Legislature 2005 established a new formula for funding graduate medical education in the 2006ndash07 GAA For 2012ndash13 the funding totals $46 million

(an additional $109 million is appropriated to the Baylor College of Medicine through the THECB) and provides $4436 per medical resident each year

Figure 19 illustrates the Graduate Medical Education formula allocation to institutions among the nine health related institutions and Baylor College of Medicine

CHEST DISEASE CENTER FORMULA

The Chest Disease Center operations formula which was established during the 2010ndash11 biennium applies only to The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler Th e University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler has a statutory mission to conduct research develop diagnostic and treatment techniques provide training and teaching programs and provide diagnosis and treatment of inpatients and outpatients with respiratory diseases The Chest Disease Center formula is based on the number of primary chest disease patients the institution served Approximately $472 million in General Revenue Funds are appropriated for the 2012ndash13 biennium

CANCER CENTER OPERATIONS FORMULA

The Eightieth Legislature 2007 established in the GAA an Operations formula for funding The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has a statutory mission to eliminate cancer through patient care research education

and prevention The Operations formula funding is based on the total number of Texas cancer patients the institution served The Operations formula growth in funding may not exceed the average growth in funding for health-related institutions in the Instruction and Operations support formula for the current biennium For the 2012ndash13 biennium this funding formula provided $2125 million in General Revenue Funds

NON-FORMULA FUNDING

PATIENT CARE ACTIVITIES

Some institutions conduct patient care activities generally medical or dental For the 2012ndash13 biennium the estimated appropriation for Patient Income was $56 billion Th e hospital and clinic revenues earned through patient care activities are considered Other Funds which are part of Educational and General Income (not to be confused with Other Educational and General Income which is another subset of Educational and General Income) General Revenue funding supplements patient-care income to varying degrees at each institution Patient Income is an estimated appropriation and is spread across an institutionrsquos funding strategies however it is not used in the calculation of the formulas

INSTITUTIONAL ENHANCEMENT

Institutional Enhancement is a General Revenue Fund appropriation that started in the 2000ndash01 biennium It is designed to allow each institution to address its unique needs and diseconomies of scale at institutions with smaller campuses The total institutional enhancement appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium was $42 million which includes $407 million in General Revenue Funds and $16 million in Patient Income

SPECIAL ITEMS

Special items are activities that are not generally funded through the formulas and typically represent an institutionrsquos special needs or areas of expertise The $3107 million in General Revenue Funds for the 2012ndash13 biennium funds items such as residency programs academic outreach programs public service items and research items other than general research support Institutions propose and justify special items and request an amount for each on an ad hoc basis Special items generally remain constant from biennium to biennium unless the item was a one-time expense (eg tornado damage repairs) or the institution has not used the funding for the intended purpose

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

These funds are not directly appropriated to institutions in the GAA In other words these funds are not found in a strategy within an institutionrsquos bill pattern

Health-related institutions are eligible for funding from the Available University Fund ($146 million in Other Funds allocated to these institutions by system offices for the 2012ndash 13 biennium) and the Higher Education Fund ($257 million in General Revenue Funds appropriated for the 2012ndash13 biennium) which are presented in detail in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section of this report

CAPITAL FUNDS

Just like general academic institutions tuition revenue bonds ($1665 million in General Revenue Funds for related debt service in the 2012ndash13 biennium) are also used to fund capital projects at health-related institutions A detailed presentation of tuition revenue bonds is in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center also have separate appropriations for capital projects that are funded primarily with Patient Income

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Like general academic institutions health-related institutions benefit from direct and indirect state appropriations related to employee benefi ts The indirect appropriations include Higher Education Group Insurance ($2339 million in General Revenue Funds for the 2012ndash13 biennium) Retirement Contributions and Social Security Benefi ts (all presented in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section) The direct appropriations include Staff Group Insurance

For the 2012ndash13 biennium the Workersrsquo Compensation and Unemployment Compensation strategies (all presented in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section) are funded directly with General Revenue Funds and General RevenuendashDedicated Funds However The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own workersrsquo compensation pools while all other institutions are part of the State Office of Risk Managementrsquos workersrsquo compensation pool The University of Texas and Texas AampM Systems also manage their own unemployment compensation coverage while all other institutions receive coverage from

the Texas Workforce Commission which receives an appropriation to cover unemployment benefi ts

TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANTS

Health-related institutions similar to general academic institutions are subject to the Texas Education Code (sect56031 et al) provision requiring a portion of tuition revenue be set aside to fund Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) For the 2012ndash13 biennium the estimated TPEG appropriation is $188 million This revenue is considered Other Education and General Income which is classifi ed as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY

As mentioned earlier in this section Indirect Cost Recovery was removed from the GAA for the 2010ndash11 biennium however the individual institution still receives the funds

TOBACCO SETTLEMENT

House Bill 1945 Seventy-sixth Legislature 1999 established the Permanent Health Fund for health-related institutions of Higher Education the Permanent Fund for Minority Health Research and Education the Permanent Fund for Higher Education Nursing Allied Health and Other Health Related Programs and 13 permanent endowments for individual institutions of higher education The $769 million in estimated interest earnings from the endowments for 2012ndash13 (based on estimated interest earnings of 45 percent each year) were appropriated to the health-related institutions

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

OVERVIEW Public two-year lower-level institutions include 50 community and junior college districts four Texas State Technical College (TSTC) campuses and three Lamar State Colleges These institutions were appropriated $22 billion in state funding for the 2012ndash13 biennium Preliminary fall FIGURE 20 TWO-YEAR INSTITUTION FUNDING MECHANISMS 2012ndash13 BIENNIUM

2011 enrollment at these institutions totaled 789713 Figure 20 illustrates the funding mechanisms for these institutions Community colleges accounted for 983 percent of this enrollment total while the Texas State Technical and Lamar State Colleges composed the remaining portion

COMMUNITY COLLEGES

Instruction and Administration General Revenue Funds from the state are based on contact hour driven formulas for two-year institutions Tuition and fee revenues and local tax revenues augment state General Revenue Funds for these costs

Academic Courses Approximately 82 percent of the total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are academic courses

Technical Courses Approximately 18 percent of the total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are vocationaltechnical courses

Physical Plant The state provides no funding for physical plant operations and maintenance Local taxing districts are expected to provide support for physical plant needs Community colleges are projected to receive approximately $12 billion in tax income in fiscal year 2011

Facilities Local communities must provide facilities Community colleges are not eligible to receive Higher Education Fund (HEF) allocations Available University Fund allocations or state tuition revenue bonds

Employee Benefits While community college employees are locally-employed community colleges participate in the Employee Retirement System (ERS) Group Benefits Program for health benefi ts and the Teacher Retirement System(TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) for retirement benefits The state makes General Revenue Fund contributions for the health and retirement benefits

Tuition Fee Revenues Tuition and fee revenues are considered institutional funds and are not appropriated by the state Tuition rates vary by institution In 2012 the statewide tuition rates plus fees averaged $73 per semester credit hour but varied from $34 to $208 per semester credit hour

Local Tax Revenue Community Colleges are projected to receive approximately $12 billion in tax income in fiscal year 2011 Local tax revenues are expected to provide support for physical plant needs and augment state General Revenue Funds for instruction and administration costs

TSTCLAMAR COLLEGES

Instruction and Administration General Revenue Funds from the state are based on formulas for two-year institutions Tuition and fee revenues augment General Revenue Funds for these costs

Academic Courses Approximately 39 percent at the Lamar colleges and 28 percent at Texas State Technical College (TSTC) of total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are academic courses

Technical Courses Approximately 61 percent at the Lamar colleges and 72 percent at TSTC of total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are vocationaltechnical courses

Physical Plant State funding based on the formula for general academic institutions The Lamar colleges will receive approximately $71 million and TSTC will receive $157 million in General Revenue Funds for physical plant and utilities in the 2012ndash13 biennium

Facilities The Lamar colleges receive approximately $42 million annually from HEF funds and TSTC receives almost $58 million annually The HEF monies are used to acquire land construct and equip buildings provide major building repair or rehabilitation and acquire capital equipment and library materials

Employee Benefits Both the Lamar colleges and TSTC institutions participate in ERSrsquo Group Benefits Program for health benefits and the TRS and ORP programs for retirement benefits The state makes General Revenue Fund contributions for the health and retirement benefits of those employees having their salaries paid with General Revenue Funds

Tuition Fee Revenues Certain tuition revenue is appropriated by the state In 2012 for resident students average tuition plus fees was $139 per semester credit hour at the Lamar colleges and $150 per semester credit hour at TSTC

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 21

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

These institutions are primarily funded based on student contact hours A contact hour is a standard unit of measure that represents an hour of scheduled academic and technical instruction given to students during a semester Community and junior college districts generate almost 958 percent of the state-funded contact hours at two-year institutions TSTC components generate approximately 29 percent of the contact hours and the three Lamar State Colleges account for the 13 percent

COMMUNITY COLLEGES Over 99 percent of the direct appropriations to community colleges are from the General Revenue Fund and are generated through a funding formula The remaining direct appropriations are for isolated ldquospecial itemsrdquo including appropriations for the Southwest Collegiate Institute for the Deaf which is part of the appropriation for Howard College The Texas Education Code Section 130003(a) calls for state appropriations to public community colleges to ldquosupplement local funds for the proper support maintenance operation and improvement of those public junior colleges of Texas that meet the standards prescribed by the chapterrdquo Further Education Code Section 130003(c) indicates that state funds must be used ldquoexclusively for the purpose of paying salaries of instructional and administrative forceshellip and the purchase of supplies and materials for instructional purposesrdquo

Consistent with statute community colleges have their own Instruction and Administration Formula which is funded by General Revenue Funds and based on ldquostudent contact hoursrdquo Unlike general academic institution formulas this formula does not include tuition and fee revenue as part of the method of fi nance

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 also provided $45 million to certain districts through a new small institution supplemental formula A district is eligible for the supplement if it makes a significantly above-average effort to generate tax income while at the same time experiencing below-average tax revenue and does not have a number of contact hours that exceeds the statewide median Th e Eighty-second Legislature appropriated each eligible district $05 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium

No state funding is provided for physical plant operations and maintenance or for facilities that is supported by local tax eff ort

Three community colleges receive weighted semester credit hour formula funding for a Bachelor of Applied Technology degree program

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

Th e Eighty-first Legislature 2009 provided $153 million in General Revenue formula hold harmless funding for aff ected community colleges to minimize the effect of reduced formula funding as a result of overall contact hour declines The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not provide any hold harmless funding in the 2012ndash13 biennium

Property taxes tuition and fees are other major sources of revenue for community colleges Figure 21 illustrates the estimated sources of funding for community colleges Th e state appropriations in Figure 21 include all formula special item Higher Education Group Insurance appropriations and retirement benefi t appropriations

FORMULA FUNDING

The basis of the formula starts with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) Report of Fundable Operating Expenses (RFOE) (formally called the All Funds Expenditure Report) The study includes all expenditures for instruction and administration (facilities costs are not included) in 26 program areas THECB uses the expenditure data to determine the median cost in the 26 program areasmdashthe ldquoratesrdquo for contact hours in those disciplines THECB then makes a recommendation for

LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 22

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

funding based on the rates Over the years THECB has used various methodologies as the basis for its funding recommendations Because the RFOE takes into account all funds (state appropriations plus tuition and tax revenue which are not appropriated) THECBrsquos recommendation for state funding has generally not equaled 100 percent of the rates

The amount of the appropriation is a legislative decision based on funds available The appropriation is allocated to the colleges according to each districtrsquos pro-rata share of THECB recommendations

HIGHER EDUCATION GROUP INSURANCE (HEGI)

Like state institutions of higher education community colleges receive General Revenue Fund contributions for group insurance However since community college employees are local not state employees state contributions for health benefits are fully discretionary Other agencies and institutions of higher education report employee eligibility for General Revenue-funded group health insurance benefi ts only if the employeersquos salary is directly paid with General Revenue Funds However in the past community colleges tended to base eligibility for General Revenue-funded benefits if the employeersquos job function fell under an approved ldquoelement of costrdquo This practice caused community colleges to report eligibility for state funded health benefits in a manner that did not always match the source of the employeersquos salary

This practice led to the Governorrsquos veto of the Group Health Insurance appropriation for fiscal year 2009 ($154 million) at the end of the Eightieth Legislative session However an agreement to restore the vetoed funds was reached and returned directly to the districts in House Bill 4586 Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009

The Eight-Second Legislature 2011 allowed community colleges to receive General Revenue Fund contributions for employees whose job function fell under an approved ldquoelement of costrdquo However the Legislature only funded 42 percent of the premium costs for these employees

OTHER STAFF BENEFITS

Appropriations for retirement contributions are included under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) bill patterns Some higher education employees primarily faculty and certain administrators are eligible for ORP a defi ned contribution plan similar to a 401k Other higher education employees

participate in TRS a defi ned benefit plan In both instances the state funds retirement contributions equal 60 and 64 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal year 2012 and fi scal year 2013 respectively (These appropriation amounts are not included in Figure 2 on page 3)

DRAMATIC ENROLLMENT GROWTH

Since the 1996ndash97 biennium public community colleges have received ldquoDramatic Enrollment Growth Fundingrdquo For the 2000ndash01 biennium this was expanded to include Texas State Technical Colleges and Lamar State Colleges (Lamars) The appropriation was made to THECB Rider 13 page IIIshy53 General Appropriations Act (2010ndash11 Biennium) provided guidelines for distributing this funding

For the 2010ndash11 biennium THECB is authorized to allocate up to $175 million per year to schools experiencing a growth rate of five percent or greater in 2010 and eight percent or greater in 2011 The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not provide any dramatic enrollment growth funding in the 2012-13 biennium

OTHER TRUSTEED FUNDS

Students at community colleges also benefi t from Texas Educational Opportunity Grants the student fi nancial aid program appropriation that is allocated by THECB

TEXAS STATE TECHNICAL COLLEGE LAMAR STATE COLLEGES The Texas State Technical Colleges (TSTC) and Lamar State Colleges are allocated a majority of their appropriation via two formulas the Instruction and Administration Formula for two-year institutions and the Infrastructure Formula for general academic institutions Similar to general academic institutions the tuition revenue for these colleges is included in the appropriations bill

Contact hours for vocationaltechnical courses represent approximately 61 percent of total contact hours at the Lamar State Colleges and 72 percent at TSTC institutions Th e remaining contact hours are generated from academic and continuing education courses

Facilities funding is available from the Higher Education Fund for both TSTC and the Lamars State Colleges and both have received Tuition Revenue Bond authorizations

STATUTORY AUTHORITY MISSIONFUNCTIONS

For the 2012ndash13 biennium the total direct appropriations for Texas AampM System (System) agencies are $8897 million In addition to state appropriations the System agencies receive some Federal Funds that are not included in the General Appropriations Act and have access to private funds While System agencies have significant portions of their Other Funds and Federal Funds appropriated the appropriations are estimated and actual income from these funding sources is subject to signifi cant variation

FUNDING TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES

FIGURE 23 TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES COMPARED TO INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION

SIMILARITIES

FUNDING

Both Texas AampM System (System) agencies and institutions of higher education have considerable flexibility in their budgeting and financial operations (ldquolump sumrdquo appropriations)

Both are eligible to receive proceeds from the Permanent University Fund

Both are considered to be institutions of higher education for purposes of employee group health insurance

Both System agencies and institutions of higher education generate and keep 100 percent of indirect cost recovery from research and other grants

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

OPERATIONS

Like other institutions of higher education System agencies are not required to submit operating budgets or strategic plans

Both are statutorily embedded within the Texas AampM Systemrsquos institutional framework

SOURCE Legislative Budget Board

DIFFERENCES

General academic health-related and two-year institutions receive formula funding while System agencies do not

Texas AampM System agencies do not generate revenue in the same manner or amount of other higher education institutions

Performance measures for the System agencies are agency-specific while performance measures for other higher education institutions are standardized

In several ways state funding for System agencies is similar to funding for higher education institutions System agencies have considerable flexibility in their budgeting and fi nancial operations because they receive lump-sum appropriations in the same manner as other institutions of higher education They are eligible to receive funds from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) (They were allocated $153 million from the PUF for debt service in the 2012ndash13 biennium) System agencies are also funded in the same manner as other institutions of higher education with regard to staff benefi ts including employee group health insurance contributions

However there are several funding diff erences between System agencies and other higher education institutions Most significantly System agencies do not receive formula-based funding Also while some System agencies may charge fees for their services they do not generate tuition and fees in the same manner or quantity as other institutions of higher education

As is the case with all institutions the System agencies keep 100 percent of their respective indirect cost recovery income

because this income is derived from earnings on federal grants and is held outside the treasury

For the 2012ndash13 biennium funding associated with infrastructure expenses and utilities for System agencies inside Brazos County is equal to the infrastructure rate (as determined by the General Academic formulas on page 6) for Texas AampM University

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q What are the limitations on how institutions spend state appropriations

A Generally speaking institutions have great fl exibility in spending appropriated funds however some limitations do exist depending on the source of revenue Appropriated revenue includes General Revenue Funds General Revenuendash Dedicated Funds (mostly tuition and fee income) Other Funds (including Patient Income) and Federal Funds (for certain Texas AampM System Agencies) Th e Texas Constitution (Article VII Section 18(i) and 17(j)) prohibits with limited exceptions the use of General Revenue Funds for acquiring land or for construction projects An exception occurs when the legislature by two-thirds vote in each house expressly determines that there is a demonstrated need for the project

Various provisions in the 2012ndash13 General Appropriations Act (GAA) Higher Education Special Provisions restrict state appropriations These restrictions include the following

bull Section 6 (Rider 8b) which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for auxiliary enterprises

bull Section 6 (Rider 9) which limits the use of these funds to pay debt service for statutorily authorized tuition revenue bonds Any such appropriation not spent must be returned to the General Revenue Fund at the end of the year

bull Section 9 which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for intercollegiate athletics purposes and

bull Section 54 which limits the use of the Research Development Fund to those defined in Education Code Section 62091

Q Would an increase in tuition revenue replace a corresponding amount in General Revenue Funds or would the revenue remain within the institution

A The result depends on how the Legislature responds

For instance assume that the Eight-second Legislature 2011 changed the statute to require institutions to charge nonresident tuition in circumstances where they had previously waived the nonresident tuition rate For the 2012ndash13 biennium institutions would benefit fully from the

increase in tuition revenue (This assumes the formula calculation would not include a projected increase in tuition)

However institutional appropriations in the 2014ndash15 biennium now depend on that legislation passed in the Eighty-third Legislature 2013 Assuming the same number of students (semester credit hours) enroll regardless of changes in tuition policy and that the result of charging nonresident tuition generated $100 million in additional tuition revenue there are three options

1 Reduce General Revenue Funds (GR) in the formulas by $100 million In this scenario the formula rate stays the same and every dollar increase in tuition revenue results in a dollar decrease in GRmdashinstitutional funding does not increase

2 Keep GR the same and run the additional tuition revenue through the formulas Th e formula funding rate would increase and every institution would receive more funds including those institutions that generated no additional tuition revenue

3 Keep GR formula appropriations at the same level and let individual institutions keep the additional tuition revenue they generated outside the formula allocation

Q Are all tuition and fee revenues collected by institutions of higher education included in the appropriations bill

A No None of the tuition and fee revenues collected by community colleges are appropriated

For general academic institutions an estimate of the revenue from certain tuitions and fees such as statutory tuition (Education Code 54051 Tuition Rates) board authorized tuition (Education Code 54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board) Laboratory Fees (Education Code 54501) and certain other fees are appropriated in the GAA as General Revenue FundsndashDedicated Estimated Other Educational and General Income There are a number of other tuitions and fees that are not included in the GAA and therefore not referred to as state funding Such tuitions and fees include but are not limited to designated tuition (Education Code 540513 Redesignation of Building Use Fee) and Incidental Fees (Education Code 54504) Federal

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Funds are also not appropriated to the general academic and health-related institutions

Q Is a decrease in enrollment the only reason an institution would be eligible for formula funding hold harmless

A No Each session the Legislature makes a determination of whether it will make an appropriation for formula hold harmless A decrease in total enrollment is one reason an institution could be eligible for the funding Because the semester credit hours (general academic institutions) full-time student equivalents (health-related institutions) used in the formulas are based on weights (discipline program and course level) a change in the type of student enrollment regardless of total enrollment could also make an institution eligible for hold harmless funding

Q What are Educational and General Funds

A ldquoOther Educational and General Incomerdquo is a subset of ldquoEducational and General Incomerdquo The following are included in the Education Code (51009(c)) defi nition for ldquoEducational and General Fundsrdquo net tuition special course fees charged under Education Code 54051(e) and (l) lab fees student teaching fees hospital and clinic fees organized activity fees and proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment

Q What does it mean to be a Tier One institution

A The Tier One reference is often derived from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teachingrsquos prior system for classifying institutions of higher education As part of the 1994 version of the Carnegie Classification there were four categories for doctorate granting institutions Research Universities I Research Universities II Doctoral Universities I and Doctoral Universities II ldquoTier Onerdquo was synonymous with Research Universities I Such institutions had to off er a full range of baccalaureate programs award 50 or more doctoral degrees each year and receive annually at least $40 million or more in federal research funds Two institutions in Texas (The University of Texas at Austin and Texas AampM University) met these criteria The 2000 version of the Carnegie Classification collapsed the categories for doctorate granting institutions from four to two Doctoral Research UniversitiesmdashExtensive and DoctoralResearch UniversitiesmdashIntensive Six public institutions in Texas (Texas AampM University Texas Tech University University of Houston University of North Texas The University of Texas at Arlington and The University of Texas at Austin) meet the criteria for DoctoralResearch Universitiesmdash

Extensive In 2005 however the classifi cation structure returned to a more restricted top tier of institutions classifi ed as ldquoResearch Universities (very high research activity)rdquo Both The University of Texas at Austin and Texas AampM University are now counted in this category but any reference to Tier One usually refers to the 1994 Carnegie Classifi cation

Q What is the space model What is the base number of square feet needed

A In 1992 the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approved the Space Projection Model for Higher Education Institutions in Texas for public universities to assess the net assignable square feet (NASF) of educational and general space an institution needs There are fi ve categories incorporated into the model teaching library research offi ce and support space Space needs for auxiliary purposes such as dormitories or athletics are not included in the model Square footage amounts are assigned based on a number of elements within each category including the number of students and their program levels and the amount of research expenditures The space model was fi rst incorporated into the funding formulas for general academic institutions in 1997

Q What are ldquoOrganized Activitiesrdquo

A General academic institutions have a funding strategy titled ldquoOrganized Activitiesrdquo These are activities or enterprises that are connected with instructional departments Th ey are intended primarily to give training to students Examples include a university farm nurserypreschool programs an optometry clinic and lifeguard training

Q What are tuition revenue bonds

A Established in 1971 under Education Code 5513 tuition revenue bonds are bonds (not to exceed 50 years) issued by institutions of higher education for the purpose of ldquoproviding funds to acquire purchase construct improve enlarge andor equip any property buildings structures activities services operations or other facilities for and on behalf of its institution or institutions or any branch of branches thereofrdquo Each institutionsystem is authorized and required to pay debt service on its bonds Although the authorization and issuance of the bonds is not contingent on an appropriation by the state for related debt service the Legislature has provided General Revenue Funds to reimburse institutions for costs related to debt service However in the 2004ndash05 GAA the legislature changed this practice and only provided General Revenue Fund reimbursements for interest

LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 28

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

on bonds issued after March 31 2003 The 2006ndash07 GAA renewed the practice of reimbursing institutions for the costs related to debt service The 2008ndash09 GAA and 2010-11 GAA continues this practice

Q What Is Proportionality

A Pursuant to Section 608 of Article IX of the 2012ndash13 GAA the legislative intent of proportionality is to ldquomaximize balances in the General Revenue Fundrdquo by harmonizing salary funding source with benefits funding source Th is effectively means the Legislature limits its General Revenue Fund contributions for benefits only to those employees having salaries paid with General Revenue Funds As such proportionality requires employee health and retirement benefits be paid in ldquoproportionrdquo to the funding source of salaries To this end institutions are obligated to submit the Accounting Policy Statement 011 Benefits Proportional by Fund (APS 011) report to the Comptroller Th is document provides a structure by which state and local contributions are ldquosettled uprdquo in light of the fiscal years fund proportionality

Q What Is the National Research University Fund

A In 1995 the Texas Constitution was amended to authorize the creation and funding of the Permanent Higher Education Fund (PHEF) The PHEF was intended eventually to become a permanent endowment to support non-Permanent University Fund eligible institutions However the PHEF corpus was rededicated with the voter passage of Proposition 4 which amended Article 7 of the Texas Constitution by establishing the National Research University Fund (NRUF) In 2009 Proposition 4 transferred the balance of the PHEF to the credit of the NRUF as of January 1 2010 and repealed the constitutional authorization for the PHEF

The NRUF is intended to provide a source of funding to enable emerging research universities in Texas to achieve national prominence as major research universities Article VII of the Texas Constitution authorizes the Legislature to appropriate some or all of the total return on all investment assets of the NRUF for the purposes of the fund except for two caveats (1) the Legislature may not increase distributions from the fund if the purchasing power of investment assets for any rolling 10-year period is not preserved and (2) the amount appropriated from the proceeds of the NRUF corpus in any fiscal year must be capped at 7 percent of the investment assetsrsquo average net fair market value Until the NRUF has been invested long enough to determine its purchasing power over a 10-year period the Legislature is

authorized to use other means of preserving the purchasing power of the fund

House Bill 1000 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 establishes the specific eligibility and distribution criteria for the 2012ndash13 NRUF appropriations To be eligible to receive NRUF appropriations an institution must meet two mandatory criteria and four out of six optional criteria The mandatory criteria are that the institution is designated as an emerging research university within the THECBrsquos Accountability System and that the institution reported at least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the preceding two fiscal years Optional criteria include the following possession of an endowment fund values in excess of $400 million awarding over 200 Doctor of Philosophy degrees per year having an entering freshman class of high academic achievement recognition of institutionrsquos research capability and scholarly attainment possession of a high-quality faculty and possession of high-quality graduate education programs

APPENDIX B TUITION AND FEE PROVISIONS

VTCA Texas Education Code Section 54003 states No institution of higher education may collect from students attending the institution any tuition fee or charge of any kind except as permitted by lawhellip

The laws governing tuition and fees at institutions of higher education are found in Education Code Section 54 including a limited number of rules that relate to tuition and fees charged by junior and community colleges Education Code Section 54 includes statutes regarding statewide tuition and fee authority rules regarding residency for tuition and fee purposes and various exemptions for tuition and fees from nonresidency status Also it includes specific fee authority for individual institutions Figure B1 provides a listing of tuition and fee authorizations in Education Code Section 54 but does not include the items presented below or the various exemption and waiver provisions (Details about each provision can be found at httpwwwcapitolstate txus) Th ere are isolated instances outside Chapter 54 whereby the boards of regents are authorized to charge for specific services provided to students

This appendix highlights some of the more prominent tuition and fee provisions and indicates whether the related revenue is or is not included in the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT Tuition and fee revenue included in the GAA as General Revenue DedicatedndashFunds is referenced as ldquoOther Education and General Incomerdquo The amounts are ldquoEstimatedrdquo so whatever amount of revenue generated is the actual amount available to the institution to spend

54051 Tuition Rates (statutory tuition) In conjunction with Section 540512 Interim Tuition Rates resident tuition for undergraduate students reached $50 per semester credit hour in the 2005ndash06 academic year (the 2006 state fi scal year) Tuition for nonresident students at general academic medical and dental institutions is based on the average of nonresident tuition rates in the five most populous states other than Texas The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board must make this computation each academic year

54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board (also known as board authorized tuition) Applies to graduate programs Subsection (d) specifies that it is not to be used in the GAA as an offset to General Revenue Funds It is distributed across formula strategies after the formula calculation

54501 Laboratory Fees The fee amount must be sufficient to cover the general costs of laboratory materials and supplies used by a student It is not to be less than $2 or more than $30 per semester and it must not exceed the actual cost of materials and supplies

NOT INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT 540513 Designated Tuition Statute defi nes designated tuition as an institutional fund which means the revenue is not considered part of ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo Th e governing board can waive designated tuition for a student (see 54261) Statute specifies that this revenue not be used in the GAA as a way to offset General Revenue

54503 Student Services Fees This is intended for activities which are separate from the regularly scheduled academic functions of the institution and directly involve or benefi t students Except for The University of Texas at Austin (see 54513) and components of the University of Houston System (see 545061) the maximum of all compulsory student services cannot exceed $250 per semester It is kept separate from educational and general funds

54504 Incidental Fees The governing board sets the fee which must reasonably reflect the actual cost of the materials or services for which the fee is collected Examples of unearned fees include late registration library fi nes microfilming fees thesis or doctoral manuscript reproduction or filing fees and bad check charges

5516 Board Responsibility The governing board is authorized to ldquofix and collect rentals rates and chargesrdquo

APPENDIX C GLOSSARY

APPROPRIATION METHODOLOGIES Direct Appropriation The actual appropriation either estimated or sum certain listed in that institutionrsquos portion of the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

Indirect Appropriation An appropriation made on behalf of an institution but not listed in that institutionrsquos portion of the GAA Examples include appropriations to the Available University Fund the Higher Education Fund and the Higher Education Coordinating Board all of which are ultimately allocated to institutions

Estimated Appropriation An estimated appropriation is a figure in the GAA that best reflects the information available about the revenue source but the amount available for an institution to spend is contingent on the amount of revenue actually generated If the actual amount of revenue is less than the estimated amount the institution is limited to the lower amount If more revenue is generated than the estimated amount the institution can spend the higher amount

Sum Certain Appropriation A sum certain appropriation in the GAA means that an institution is limited to spend no more than the level of appropriation noted in the institutionrsquos bill pattern in the GAA

Lump Sum Appropriation Texas Education Code Section 61059(k) calls for flexibility in funds appropriated to higher education institutions A lump sum appropriation is a single amount that is unrestricted which means that it can be used for any variety of strategies The GAA provides an ldquoInformational Listing of Appropriated Fundsrdquo below each institutionrsquos lump sum appropriation Higher education institutions are not required to spend their appropriation within specified strategies One exception to this is the Tuition Revenue Bond strategy which represents the appropriation related to debt service on related bonds and must be spent as appropriated or it is reverted to the treasury

METHODS OF FINANCE General Revenue (GR) The non-dedicated portion of the General Revenue Fund is the statersquos primary operating fund Most state tax revenue many state fees and various other sources of revenue are deposited as non-dedicated General Revenue Funds

General RevenuendashDedicated (GRndashD) This is the dedicated portion of General Revenue Funds For higher education institutions the bulk of General RevenuendashDedicated Fund appropriations consist of tuition and fee revenue generated by the institutions These include the tuition and fee revenue included as ldquoOther Educational and General Incomerdquo (defined below) ldquoboard authorized tuitionrdquo (Texas Education Code Section 54008)

Other Funds State funds not included in General Revenue Funds or General RevenuendashDedicated Funds For institutions of higher education these include the Available University Fund and Patient Income generated by health-related institutions

FUND TYPES Educational and General Income Th e Texas Education Code (51009(c)) definition for ldquoEducational and General Fundsrdquo includes (a) net tuition (b) special course fees charged under Education Code Section 54051(e) and (l) (c) lab fees (d) student teaching fees (e) hospital and clinic fees (f ) organized activity fees and (g) proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment

Institutional Funds Texas Education Code Section 51009(b) defines institutional funds as those that are not ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo An example of an institutional fund is ldquodesignated tuitionrdquo (Texas Education Code Section 540513) These funds are not included in the GAA

Local Funds Texas Education Code Section 51009(a) defines local funds as net tuition certain special course fees lab fees student teaching fees hospital and clinic fees organized activity fees proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment and indirect cost recovery fees Th is revenue is accounted for as ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo and is included in the GAA

Other Educational and General Income The GAA includes some tuition and fees collected by institutions of higher education (General RevenuendashDedicated Funds) Th e revenue from tuition and fees such as statutory tuition (see texas Education Code Section 54051 Tuition Rates) board authorized tuition (see Texas Education Code Section 54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board) Laboratory

Fees (Texas Education Code Section 54501) and certain other fees are considered Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG) and are appropriated in the GAA as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds Other Educational and General Income is a subset of Educational and General Income (EampG Income)

Patient Income Health-related institutions that operate hospitals or dental clinics generate patient income from services rendered It is allocated as a method of finance to the related institution across a range of strategies in the institutionrsquos bill pattern (Other Funds) For the 2010ndash11 biennium more than $48 billion in patient income was appropriated making it the largest method of fi nance for health-related institutions

OTHER ITEMS Indirect Cost Recovery Institutions negotiate a percentage of a grant with the federal government for Indirect Costs There are a number of factors included in the calculation including building and equipment use allowance operations and maintenance general departmental and sponsored projects administration and library costs

FORMULA FUNDING Nearly 573 percent of state appropriations for general academic institutions are allocated via two funding formulas and two supplements Instruction and Operations Formula Teaching Experience Supplement Infrastructure Formula

and Small Institution Supplement The formulas and supplements are direct appropriations and are primarily based on enrollment

The formula appropriations consist of General Revenue Funds and some Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG) Other EampG includes specific tuition and fee revenue (see Appendix B for a listing of tuition and fee provisions) The inclusion of certain tuition and fee revenue in the formula funding calculation is referred to as an ldquoAll Funds methodologyrdquo to formula funding Th e most significant tuition revenue included in the formula calculation is tuition charged in accordance with Texas Education Code Section 54051 Interim Tuition Rates (referred to as statutory tuition) The statutory tuition rate for the 2012ndash13 academic year is $50 per semester credit hour for Texas residents Th e corresponding tuition rate for a nonresident student is the average nonresident tuition charged to a Texas resident at a public university in each of the five most populous states

Of the $40 billion allocated by the general academic formulas and supplements nearly 728 percent consists of General Revenue Funds with the remainder consisting of General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (Other EampG)

A portion of Other EampG income is set aside for specifi c purposes or allocated to non-formula based strategies in the

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

institutionrsquos bill pattern For example institutions set aside a portion of their tuition to provide Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) TPEG are grants designed to help students cover their tuition fees and textbook costs when these expenses exceed a certain portion of their familiesrsquo contributions to their educations This set-aside revenue is not part of the tuition and fee revenue used to calculate the funding formulas

INSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS FORMULA

About 815 percent of formula funds flow through the Instruction and Operations Formula ($32716 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) and Teaching Experience Supplement ($957 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) Th e Instruction and Operations formula is calculated as follows

Semester Credit Hours X ProgramLevel Weight X Rate (5371)

Semester credit hours (SCH) are a measurement of how many classes (and the number of students enrolled in those classes) an institution delivers The formula calculation for a biennium uses a ldquobase periodrdquo of SCH The ldquobase periodrdquo used for the 2012ndash13 biennium was the combination of summer 2010 fall 2010 and spring 2011

SCH is weighted by discipline (eg nursing is weighted more than liberal arts) and by level (ie lower and upper division masters doctoral and professional) For instance a lower division liberal arts course receives a weight of 10 A doctoral level liberal arts course receives a weight of 923 A nursing lower division course receives a weight of 203 A doctoral nursing course receives a weight of 925 Beginning with the 2006ndash07 GAA the basis for the weights per discipline was shifted to an aggregation of actual costs based on institutions Annual Financial Reports Currently THECB uses a rolling three year average to adjust the weights each biennium

THECB recommends a rate based on its recommended weights and program enhancements The legislature sets the weights and the rate in the Higher Education Special Provisions of the GAA (page III-238) In practice the legislature has set the rate based on available funding including consideration of enrollment changes and other factors Figure 7 illustrates the Instruction and Operations Formula allocation to institutions

TEACHING EXPERIENCE SUPPLEMENT

For the 2012ndash13 biennium an additional weight of ten percent is added to lower-division and upper-division semester credit hours taught by tenured and tenure-track faculty The 2012ndash13 GAA includes the following language ldquoFurthermore it is the intent of the Legislature that the weight shall increase by 10 percent per biennium up to 50 percentrdquo (Special Provisions Relating Only to State Agencies of Higher Education Sec 28 page III-238 2012ndash13 GAA)

The Teaching Experience Supplement is calculated as follows

Semester Credit Hours X ProgramLevel Weight Supplement (10) X Rate (5371)

The Teaching Experience Supplement was 5 percent during the 1998ndash99 and 2000ndash01 biennia Th e Seventy-seventh Legislature 2001 increased the supplement to the current 10 percent in 2002ndash03 biennium

INFRASTRUCTURE FORMULA

Almost 16 percent of formula funds flow through the Infrastructure Formula and Small Institution Supplement ($6768 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) In addition to

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 7

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

the universities the State Colleges and components of Texas State Technical College also receive infrastructure formula appropriations This formula uses a statewide infrastructure rate which is set in the GAA The statewide infrastructure rate is divided into two rates an Adjusted Utility Rate and an All Other Rate As with the SCH rate the legislature has set the rate based on available funding including consideration of changes in institutional space and other factors

The Infrastructure Formula is calculated as follows

(Adjusted Utility Rate + All Other Rates) X Predicted Square Feet

The Adjusted Utility Rate is 52 percent of the statewide infrastructure rate The 52 percent reflects the percentage of infrastructure formula funds that institutions historically spent on utilities A statewide utility rate is determined and then adjusted for each institution to reflect utility costs relative to other institutions

The All Other Rate is 48 percent of the statewide infrastructure rate and remains constant among institutions It accounts for physical plant grounds maintenance and custodial services

THECBrsquos Space Projection Model for Higher Education Institutions in Texas (space model) estimates square footage for each institution The objective of the space model projection is to calculate the amount of space an institution needs based on the following

bull number program and level of semester credit hours

bull number of faculty non-faculty students programs and library holdings and

bull research and current EampG expenditures

Figure 8 illustrates the Infrastructure Formula allocation to institutions The similarity of the allocation to the Instruction and Operations Formula allocation demonstrates the influence of enrollment on both formula allocations

SMALL INSTITUTION SUPPLEMENT

Prior to the Eighty-fi rst Legislature (2009) general academic institutions with enrollments of less than 5000 received a $750000 annual Small Institution Supplement However the Eighty-first Legislature increased the enrollment threshold to 10000 students and implemented a phase-out

(based on the number of students) of the supplement between 5000 and 10000 students for the 2012ndash13 biennium (see Figure 9) This supplement recognizes that institutions have a minimum cost of operation that may not be covered by funds generated through the formulas

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

Th e Eighty-first Legislature 2009 provided $414 million in General Revenue hold harmless funding for aff ected institutions to minimize the effect of reduced formula funding as a result of overall enrollment declines or declines in upper-division or graduate enrollment Decreases in formula funding could be caused by declining enrollment a shift from upper level or graduate semester credit hours to lower level hours a much smaller increase in enrollment than other institutions or a change in utility costs Th e Eighty-second Legislature 2011 provided $444 million in a hold harmless based on total General Revenue Funds (formula and non-formula) for the 2012ndash13 biennium

SPECIAL ITEMS

Special Item appropriations to the institutions total $4836 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium In 2012ndash13 $69 million was appropriated to system offices for special items These are direct appropriations to institutions for projects that are not funded by formula but are specifi cally identifi ed by the legislature as needing support An institution is not required to spend the amount identified in a Special Item strategy for that particular project but expenditure reports indicate that institutions often use an entire appropriation along with additional funding for the related project

The majority of special item funding is through the Institutional Enhancement strategy Institutional Enhancement is a $2204 million appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium This is a direct appropriation to institutions and was established by the Seventy-sixth Legislature 1999 for the 2000ndash01 biennium Th e fi rst Institutional Enhancement appropriation was based on a consolidation of certain Special Item appropriations in 1999 and an additional $1 million per year was appropriated for each institution Examples of consolidated special items are items that could be funded through the formulas such as general institutional academic and research support

For the 2002ndash03 biennium there was an additional $1 million increase in appropriations for most institutions and a $15 million increase for selected institutions in South Texas and the border region Institutions that benefi ted signifi cantly from the Seventy-seventh Legislaturersquos new University Research and Texas Excellence Funds (House Bill 1839 Seventy-seventh Legislature 2001) or from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) ldquoexcellence fundingrdquo did not receive an increase in Institutional Enhancement funds for the 2002ndash03 biennium

Other Special Items total $2632 million in appropriations for the 2012ndash13 biennium and include the following institutional and instructional support public service items research items other than general research support funding for separate campuses and accreditation program items

TEXAS COMPETITIVE KNOWLEDGE FUND

The Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund (TCKF) is authorized by the General Appropriations Act (GAA) (2012ndash13 Biennium) Article III Higher Education Special Provisions Section 56 The GAA prescribes that this funding will be used to support faculty for the purpose of instructional excellence and research Funding was first allocated in these strategies by the Legislature for the 2008ndash09 biennium

Current institutions receiving TCKF appropriations include The University of Texas at Austin Texas AampM University University of Houston Texas Tech University and Th e University of Texas at Dallas Institutions are allocated funding appropriated to the TCKF based on average research expenditures for the previous three-year period Th e Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 appropriated $935 million in Texas Competitive Knowledge Fund strategies directly to the institutions This funding level provides approximately $07 million to each institution for every $100 million in research expenditures In practice

when institutions have first received distributions from the fund appropriations have been reduced from the institutionrsquos special item strategies In subsequent biennia the institution continues to receive appropriations from the TCKF and the reduction in special items is not specifi cally restored

RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT FUND

The Research Development Fund was created by House Bill 3526 Seventy-eighth Legislature Regular Session 2003 and replaced the Texas Excellence and University Research Funds effective September 1 2005 The intent was to combine the Texas Excellence Fund and University Research Fund into a new fund applying a uniform allocation methodology based on a three-year average of each institutionrsquos restricted research expenditures Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature allocated $653 million (Figure 10) in the 2012ndash13 biennium to individual institutions to fund objectives identical to the Research Development Fund (Section 62091)

TEXAS RESEARCH INCENTIVE PROGRAM

Th e Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009 established the Texas Research Incentive Program (TRIP) at THECB to match state appropriations with certain gifts and endowments received by emerging research universities Th e goal of this $178 million a year program is to create more Tier One universities in Texas

PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE INITIATIVE

The Eightieth Legislature 2007 appropriated $100 million in fiscal year 2009 to THECB to establish a Higher Education Performance Incentive Initiative The funding was for ldquoimprovement in teaching and educational excellence at Texas public general academic institutionsrdquo THECB distributed $80 million for increases in degrees awarded with special weights given to critical fields and at-risk students The remaining $20 million was used to fund scholarships for students graduating in the top 10 percent of their high school class

Th e Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009 maintained the $80 million for the higher education performance incentive initiative (funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) and increased funding for the Top Ten Percent scholarship program by $34 million bringing total appropriations for the program to $54 million

There were no performance funding incentives for the 2012ndash13 biennium For the 2012ndash13 biennium $396

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 provided $444 million in General Revenue Funds hold harmless funding for aff ected institutions to minimize the effect of reduced formula and special item funding Decreases in formula funding could be caused by declining enrollment a shift from upper level or graduate semester credit hours to lower level hours a much smaller increase in enrollment that other institutions or a change in utility costs

CAPITAL FUNDS

In addition to the constitutional funds discussed in the next subsection there are three types of state appropriation for capital funds tuition revenue bonds Skiles Act revenue bonds and lease payments Almost all of the direct appropriations to institutions related to capital funds are for debt service on tuition revenue bonds

A $5931 million General Revenue Funds appropriation was made for tuition revenue bond debt service for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Tuition revenue bonds must be authorized in statute Once an authorization is made institutions issue bonds and make related debt payments with tuition revenue Th e Texas Public Finance Authority issues tuition revenue bonds for Midwestern State University Stephen F Austin University Texas Southern University and the Texas State Technical Colleges Legislative practice has been to use General Revenue Funds to reimburse institutions for the costs related to this debt service

The legislature first authorized tuition revenue bonds in 1971 In some instances the authorization was a lump sum for the benefit of specific institutions During the Seventy-eighth Legislature 2003 $2689 million in tuition revenue bonds was authorized for specific projects at various higher education institutions The Seventy-ninth Legislature Th ird Called Session 2005 adopted House Bill 153 which authorized the issuance of $1858 billion in tuition revenue bonds for forty-four different institutions Only one tuition revenue bond (House Bill 1775) was adopted by the Eightieth Legislature 2007 for a $13 million nursing building at Stephen F Austin University Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature 2009 authorized one tuition revenue bond for Texas AampM University at Galveston The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not authorize any new tuition revenue bonds

The authority for Skiles Act Revenue Bonds was repealed in 1997 It had allowed institutions to pledge up to $5 from each enrolled student for each regular semester to the payment of bonds authorized under the governing boardrsquos general authority to sell revenue bonds Institutions use their Other Educational and General Income (General Revenuendash Dedicated Funds) to pay the debt service on these previously authorized bonds This is a $10 million appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Three general academic institutions receive a $3 million General Revenue Fund appropriation for lease payments to community colleges for facilities

CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

These funds are appropriated separately in the GAA and not directly appropriated to the institutions (see Appendix D)

The Available University Fund (AUF) established in Section 18 Article VII Texas Constitution consists of the surface income and investment proceeds from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) a state endowment with land grants totaling 21 million acres

Distributions to the AUF consist of investment returns from PUF assets surface income from PUF lands and interest earned on AUF balances For the 2012ndash13 biennium investment returns were $12200 million surface income was $398 million and interest income was $59 million Income from the sale of PUF lands and the lease of mineral interest is retained in the PUF and invested

The total 2012ndash13 estimated appropriation for the AUF is $12660 million The Constitution appropriates two-thirds of the AUF to The University of Texas System and one-third to the Texas AampM University System The two systems may use the AUF for capital purposes (debt service on PUF bonds) for most of their institutions and ldquofor the support and maintenancerdquo of other institutions listed Entities authorized to receive funding for ldquosupport and maintenancerdquo which is now commonly referred to as ldquoAUF Excellence Fundingrdquo are the two system offi ces The University of Texas at Austin Texas AampM University and Prairie View AampM University The systemsrsquo boards of regents determine allocations to individual institutions including health-related institutions and the amounts for ldquoExcellencerdquo Figure 11 lists the recipients and the type of support they received

The Higher Education Fund (HEF) as authorized in Section 17 Article VII Texas Constitution benefits institutions of higher education not eligible for the AUF (see Figure 12)

FUNDING GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

The HEF is supported by General Revenue Fund appropriations

The distribution of the $525 million HEF appropriation for 2012ndash13 is provided for in statute (Texas Education Code Section 62021) The Constitution calls for a re-allocation of HEF funds every ten years The Seventy-ninth Legislature Regular Session fulfilled this requirement with the enactment of House Bill 3001

The Constitution also allows the legislature to adjust the decennial allocations every five years Th e Eighty-fi rst Legislature Regular Session 2011 exercised this authority by enacting House Bill 51 which adjusted the formula allocation for the HEF funds for fiscal years 2009 through 2015

To maintain the equitable distribution of the HEF appropriation House Bill 51 also corrected the distribution of fiscal year 2009 and 2010 HEF allocations by using revised formula calculations Using these revised formula calculations House Bill 51 factored in updated data elements to generate the annual HEF allocations for the fi ve-year period starting in fiscal year 2011

HEF funds must be used for capital purposes Institutions may use HEF allocations for debt service on HEF bonds or as cash

In 1995 the Texas Constitution was amended to authorize the creation and funding of a dedicated HEF corpus known as the Permanent Higher Education Fund (PHEF) Th is corpus was separate from the annual HEF allocation of General Revenue Funds The PHEF was intended to become a permanent endowment to support non-PUF eligible institutions but never reached its targeted value of $2 billion

The PHEF corpus of $5159 million was rededicated with the enactment of Proposition 4 which amended Article 7 of the Texas Constitution by establishing the National Research University Fund (NRUF) The balance of the PHEF was transferred to the NRUF on January 1 2010 and the authorization for the PHEF expired Proposition 4 also allowed the legislature to appropriate some or all of the total returns from the NRUF to provide a source of funding to enable emerging research universities to achieve national prominence

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 appropriated $124 million in estimated NRUF proceeds to eligible institutions in the 2012ndash13 biennium

House Bill 1000 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 established the specific eligibility and distribution criteria for the 2012ndash13 NRUF appropriations To be eligible to receive NRUF appropriations an institution must meet two mandatory criteria and four out of six optional criteria The mandatory criteria are that the institution in designated as an emerging research university within the Higher Education Coordinating Boardrsquos Accountability System and that the institution reported at least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the preceding two fi scal years Optional criteria include the following possession of an endowment fund values in excess of $400 million awarding over 200 Doctor of Philosophy degrees per year having an entering freshman class of high academic achievement recognition of the institutions research capability and scholarly attainment possession of a high-quality faculty and possession of high-quality graduate education programs Texas Tech University and the University of Houston are the only two institutions that received funding through this program in 2012

HIGHER EDUCATION GROUP INSURANCE (HEGI)

The $4631 million General Revenue Fund appropriation for higher education group insurance (HEGI) is not a direct appropriation in the institutionsrsquo bill patterns It is appropriated in a separate section of the GAA entitled ldquoHigher Education Employees Group Insurance Contributionsrdquo This appropriation is intended to help institutions cover the cost of health insurance premiums for institution employees whose salaries are paid from the General Revenue Fund Because The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own health insurance programs they each receive separate appropriations The remaining institutions are included in the program operated by the Employees Retirement System (ERS)

The HEGI appropriation is sum-certain That is the Statersquos General Revenue Fund contributions are limited to each institutionrsquos number of employees enrolled in the health insurance program as of December 1 2012 However the GAA allows ERS The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems to transfer HEGI appropriations among institutions within their respective group insurance programs to address shortfalls in General Revenue Funds related to group insurance premiums

SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS

An appropriation for social security is included in the GAA at the end of Article III It is an estimated General Revenue

Fund appropriation to provide the employer matching funds for employees of institutions of higher education (Th is appropriation amount is not included in Figure 3 on page 2)

STAFF GROUP INSURANCE

Staff group insurance is for staff whose salaries are not paid with General Revenue Funds (GR) The appropriation is based on an estimation of the number of non-GR funded employees at an institution as of December 1 2010 Th e total appropriation for all general academic institutions is $1766 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium The method of finance is Other Educational and General Income (which is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds)

RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS

Appropriations for retirement contributions are included under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) bill patterns Some higher education employees primarily faculty and top administrators are eligible for ORP a defi ned contribution plan similar to a 401k Other higher education employees participate in TRS a defi ned benefit plan The state funds retirement contributions for TRS equal to 60 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal year 2012 and 64 percent in 2013 State contributions for ORP are equal to 60 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal years 2012 and 2013 (Th ese appropriation amounts are not included in Figure 3 on page 2)

OTHER NON-FORMULA FUNDING

WORKERSrsquo COMPENSATION

Changes in the structure of the statewide workersrsquo compensation system resulted in most institutions receiving General Revenue Fund appropriations for Workersrsquo Compensation starting in 2006ndash07 However Th e University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own workersrsquo compensation pools while all other institutions are part of the State Office of Risk Managementrsquos workersrsquo compensation pool

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

Most components of The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems have this strategy because they operate their own risk pools Th ese institutions receive General Revenue Fund appropriations for unemployment compensation insurance The appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium is $05 million in General Revenue Funds Th e Texas Workforce Commission receives an appropriation to

cover unemployment benefi ts for former state employees for all other higher education institutions

TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANTS

According to statute (Texas Education Code Chapter 56 Subchapter C and Texas Education Code Section 54051 [Statutory Tuition]) institutions must set aside a portion of tuition revenue for Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) Fifteen percent of each resident studentrsquos tuition and 3 percent of each nonresident studentrsquos tuition are set aside for financial aid to students at the institution Texas Education Code Section 56033 provides guidelines on the allocation of TPEG revenue The GAA includes an estimate of the amount of TPEG revenue each institution will generate Th is $2111 million estimated appropriation is considered Other Educational and General Income which are classifi ed as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY

Indirect costs as defined by The Comptroller of Public Accounts are ldquoincurred for a common or joint purpose benefiting more than one cost objectiverdquo Institutions negotiate a percentage of a federal grant for indirect costs There are a number of factors included in the calculation including building and equipment use allowance operations and maintenance general departmental and sponsored projects administration and library costs

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

OVERVIEW Appropriations for the nine health-related institutions are similar in structure to the appropriations for general academic institutions There are formula and non-formula funding appropriations made directly to the institutions as well as appropriations that benefit the institutions but are not included in the institutionsrsquo bill patterns such as the Available University Fund certain staff benefi ts and funds trusteed at the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) While health-related institutions do not receive appropriations from the Research Development Fund they share many other types of appropriations similar to general academic institution appropriations Th ose appropriations will be briefly restated in this section of the report Figure 13 lists the institutions and their enrollment

Like other higher education institutions the appropriations for health-related institutions are a lump sum and funding strategies are presented for informational purposes in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) The funding strategies in a health-related institutionrsquos bill pattern represent how state funds are allocated but not how they must be spent Also certain methods of finance in the appropriation are estimated This means that if for example patient income for an institution is above the amount included in the GAA

the institution can spend more than the amount listed in the GAA

Also health-related institutions have access to an estimated $109 billion outside the appropriations process in 2012ndash13 Examples of this include certain tuition revenue indirect lost recovery grants and gifts

Figure 14 illustrates the 2012ndash13 method of finance for $85 billion in appropriations for health-related institutions including a number of the indirect appropriations but it does not include appropriations for retirement benefi ts

FORMULA FUNDING The three primary funding formulas for health-related institutions are Instruction and Operations support Infrastructure support and Research Enhancement Th e University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Th e University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler have additional formula allocations to accommodate their unique missions Each health-related institution also receives formula funding for graduate medical education

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 15

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

General Revenue funding and some Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG is classified as General RevenuendashDedicated) fund the formulas Like general academic institutions certain tuition revenue is used in the calculation of the Instruction and Operation support and Infrastructure support formulas Of the $15 billion that is allocated by the health-related institutionsrsquo primary formulas 939 percent is from the General Revenue Fund and the remaining 61 percent is from General RevenuendashDedicated Funds (tuition and fee revenue)

Some tuition and fee income is set aside for specifi c purposes Some specific amounts are unavailable for formula purposes and consequently are not a formula method of fi nance For example health-related institutions set aside a portion of their tuition to provide Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) and Medical Loans

INSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS SUPPORT FORMULA

The Instruction and Operations (IampO) support formula represents nearly 755 percent of the primary formula funds for health-related institutions ($9282 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) It is intended to fund items such as faculty salaries departmental operating expenses instructional administration and libraries It is allocated on a per full-time student equivalent (FTSE) basis with a funding weight predicated on the instructional program of the student This formula applies to all health-related

institutions except The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler which did not offer education instruction during the base period for the 2012ndash13 biennium

Figure 15 illustrates the Instruction and Operations support formula among the eight health-related institutions

The Instruction and Operations support formula is calculated as follows

(FTSE X Program Weight X $8874) + SmallMultiple Campus Supplement

FTSE is weighted by discipline For example medicine (4753) is weighted more than pharmacy (1670) Allied Health is assigned a weight of 1000

The Legislature sets the weights and the rate ($8874 adjusted for the 2012ndash13 biennium) in the Higher Education Special Provisions of the GAA (Sec 29 page III-239 and 240) The rate is calculated based on the available revenue for the formula and the number of FTSEs

Programs with enrollments less than 200 receive a Small Campus Supplement (see Figure 16)

INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT FORMULA

The Infrastructure support formula is 194 percent of the primary formula funding and is intended for utilities and physical plant support ($2383 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) This formula calculation is similar to that for general academic institutions but includes only one rate ($655) for all institutions except The University of Texas

FIGURE 17 DISTRIBUTION OF INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT FORMULA 2012ndash13 BIENNIUM

MD Anderson Cancer Center and Th e University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler which have another rate ($625)

THECBrsquos space model predicts square footage for each institution The space model projection is based on the following

bull number and level of FTE students

bull number of faculty

bull single or multiple programs and campuses

bull actual clinical space and

bull research and current EampG expenditures

Because the space projection model does not account for hospital space separate infrastructure funding for hospital space is included in the total funding for hospital and patient-care activities at The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

RESEARCH FORMULA

Health-related institutions generate state appropriations to support research through General Revenue Funds in the Research Enhancement formula ($629 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium) The Research Enhancement formula accounts for 51 percent of the primary formula funds and is funded entirely from the General Revenue Fund

The allocation is based on the amount of research generated by each institution

$1412500 + (110 X Research

Expenditures)

This provides a base Institutions report for all institutions current research

regardless of research expenditures to volume THECB

Figure 18 illustrates the Research Enhancement formula allocation to the institutions among the nine health-related institutions

GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION

The Seventy-ninth Legislature 2005 established a new formula for funding graduate medical education in the 2006ndash07 GAA For 2012ndash13 the funding totals $46 million

Figure 19 illustrates the Graduate Medical Education formula allocation to institutions among the nine health related institutions and Baylor College of Medicine

CHEST DISEASE CENTER FORMULA

The Chest Disease Center operations formula which was established during the 2010ndash11 biennium applies only to The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler Th e University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler has a statutory mission to conduct research develop diagnostic and treatment techniques provide training and teaching programs and provide diagnosis and treatment of inpatients and outpatients with respiratory diseases The Chest Disease Center formula is based on the number of primary chest disease patients the institution served Approximately $472 million in General Revenue Funds are appropriated for the 2012ndash13 biennium

CANCER CENTER OPERATIONS FORMULA

The Eightieth Legislature 2007 established in the GAA an Operations formula for funding The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has a statutory mission to eliminate cancer through patient care research education

and prevention The Operations formula funding is based on the total number of Texas cancer patients the institution served The Operations formula growth in funding may not exceed the average growth in funding for health-related institutions in the Instruction and Operations support formula for the current biennium For the 2012ndash13 biennium this funding formula provided $2125 million in General Revenue Funds

NON-FORMULA FUNDING

PATIENT CARE ACTIVITIES

Some institutions conduct patient care activities generally medical or dental For the 2012ndash13 biennium the estimated appropriation for Patient Income was $56 billion Th e hospital and clinic revenues earned through patient care activities are considered Other Funds which are part of Educational and General Income (not to be confused with Other Educational and General Income which is another subset of Educational and General Income) General Revenue funding supplements patient-care income to varying degrees at each institution Patient Income is an estimated appropriation and is spread across an institutionrsquos funding strategies however it is not used in the calculation of the formulas

INSTITUTIONAL ENHANCEMENT

Institutional Enhancement is a General Revenue Fund appropriation that started in the 2000ndash01 biennium It is designed to allow each institution to address its unique needs and diseconomies of scale at institutions with smaller campuses The total institutional enhancement appropriation for the 2012ndash13 biennium was $42 million which includes $407 million in General Revenue Funds and $16 million in Patient Income

SPECIAL ITEMS

Special items are activities that are not generally funded through the formulas and typically represent an institutionrsquos special needs or areas of expertise The $3107 million in General Revenue Funds for the 2012ndash13 biennium funds items such as residency programs academic outreach programs public service items and research items other than general research support Institutions propose and justify special items and request an amount for each on an ad hoc basis Special items generally remain constant from biennium to biennium unless the item was a one-time expense (eg tornado damage repairs) or the institution has not used the funding for the intended purpose

FUNDING HEALTH-RELATED INSTITUTIONS

CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

These funds are not directly appropriated to institutions in the GAA In other words these funds are not found in a strategy within an institutionrsquos bill pattern

Health-related institutions are eligible for funding from the Available University Fund ($146 million in Other Funds allocated to these institutions by system offices for the 2012ndash 13 biennium) and the Higher Education Fund ($257 million in General Revenue Funds appropriated for the 2012ndash13 biennium) which are presented in detail in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section of this report

CAPITAL FUNDS

Just like general academic institutions tuition revenue bonds ($1665 million in General Revenue Funds for related debt service in the 2012ndash13 biennium) are also used to fund capital projects at health-related institutions A detailed presentation of tuition revenue bonds is in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center also have separate appropriations for capital projects that are funded primarily with Patient Income

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Like general academic institutions health-related institutions benefit from direct and indirect state appropriations related to employee benefi ts The indirect appropriations include Higher Education Group Insurance ($2339 million in General Revenue Funds for the 2012ndash13 biennium) Retirement Contributions and Social Security Benefi ts (all presented in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section) The direct appropriations include Staff Group Insurance

For the 2012ndash13 biennium the Workersrsquo Compensation and Unemployment Compensation strategies (all presented in the ldquoFunding General Academic Institutionsrdquo section) are funded directly with General Revenue Funds and General RevenuendashDedicated Funds However The University of Texas and Texas AampM University Systems operate their own workersrsquo compensation pools while all other institutions are part of the State Office of Risk Managementrsquos workersrsquo compensation pool The University of Texas and Texas AampM Systems also manage their own unemployment compensation coverage while all other institutions receive coverage from

the Texas Workforce Commission which receives an appropriation to cover unemployment benefi ts

TEXAS PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANTS

Health-related institutions similar to general academic institutions are subject to the Texas Education Code (sect56031 et al) provision requiring a portion of tuition revenue be set aside to fund Texas Public Education Grants (TPEG) For the 2012ndash13 biennium the estimated TPEG appropriation is $188 million This revenue is considered Other Education and General Income which is classifi ed as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY

As mentioned earlier in this section Indirect Cost Recovery was removed from the GAA for the 2010ndash11 biennium however the individual institution still receives the funds

TOBACCO SETTLEMENT

House Bill 1945 Seventy-sixth Legislature 1999 established the Permanent Health Fund for health-related institutions of Higher Education the Permanent Fund for Minority Health Research and Education the Permanent Fund for Higher Education Nursing Allied Health and Other Health Related Programs and 13 permanent endowments for individual institutions of higher education The $769 million in estimated interest earnings from the endowments for 2012ndash13 (based on estimated interest earnings of 45 percent each year) were appropriated to the health-related institutions

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

OVERVIEW Public two-year lower-level institutions include 50 community and junior college districts four Texas State Technical College (TSTC) campuses and three Lamar State Colleges These institutions were appropriated $22 billion in state funding for the 2012ndash13 biennium Preliminary fall FIGURE 20 TWO-YEAR INSTITUTION FUNDING MECHANISMS 2012ndash13 BIENNIUM

2011 enrollment at these institutions totaled 789713 Figure 20 illustrates the funding mechanisms for these institutions Community colleges accounted for 983 percent of this enrollment total while the Texas State Technical and Lamar State Colleges composed the remaining portion

COMMUNITY COLLEGES

Instruction and Administration General Revenue Funds from the state are based on contact hour driven formulas for two-year institutions Tuition and fee revenues and local tax revenues augment state General Revenue Funds for these costs

Academic Courses Approximately 82 percent of the total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are academic courses

Technical Courses Approximately 18 percent of the total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are vocationaltechnical courses

Physical Plant The state provides no funding for physical plant operations and maintenance Local taxing districts are expected to provide support for physical plant needs Community colleges are projected to receive approximately $12 billion in tax income in fiscal year 2011

Facilities Local communities must provide facilities Community colleges are not eligible to receive Higher Education Fund (HEF) allocations Available University Fund allocations or state tuition revenue bonds

Employee Benefits While community college employees are locally-employed community colleges participate in the Employee Retirement System (ERS) Group Benefits Program for health benefi ts and the Teacher Retirement System(TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) for retirement benefits The state makes General Revenue Fund contributions for the health and retirement benefits

Tuition Fee Revenues Tuition and fee revenues are considered institutional funds and are not appropriated by the state Tuition rates vary by institution In 2012 the statewide tuition rates plus fees averaged $73 per semester credit hour but varied from $34 to $208 per semester credit hour

Local Tax Revenue Community Colleges are projected to receive approximately $12 billion in tax income in fiscal year 2011 Local tax revenues are expected to provide support for physical plant needs and augment state General Revenue Funds for instruction and administration costs

TSTCLAMAR COLLEGES

Instruction and Administration General Revenue Funds from the state are based on formulas for two-year institutions Tuition and fee revenues augment General Revenue Funds for these costs

Academic Courses Approximately 39 percent at the Lamar colleges and 28 percent at Texas State Technical College (TSTC) of total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are academic courses

Technical Courses Approximately 61 percent at the Lamar colleges and 72 percent at TSTC of total contact hours funded by General Revenue Funds are vocationaltechnical courses

Physical Plant State funding based on the formula for general academic institutions The Lamar colleges will receive approximately $71 million and TSTC will receive $157 million in General Revenue Funds for physical plant and utilities in the 2012ndash13 biennium

Facilities The Lamar colleges receive approximately $42 million annually from HEF funds and TSTC receives almost $58 million annually The HEF monies are used to acquire land construct and equip buildings provide major building repair or rehabilitation and acquire capital equipment and library materials

Employee Benefits Both the Lamar colleges and TSTC institutions participate in ERSrsquo Group Benefits Program for health benefits and the TRS and ORP programs for retirement benefits The state makes General Revenue Fund contributions for the health and retirement benefits of those employees having their salaries paid with General Revenue Funds

Tuition Fee Revenues Certain tuition revenue is appropriated by the state In 2012 for resident students average tuition plus fees was $139 per semester credit hour at the Lamar colleges and $150 per semester credit hour at TSTC

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 21

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

These institutions are primarily funded based on student contact hours A contact hour is a standard unit of measure that represents an hour of scheduled academic and technical instruction given to students during a semester Community and junior college districts generate almost 958 percent of the state-funded contact hours at two-year institutions TSTC components generate approximately 29 percent of the contact hours and the three Lamar State Colleges account for the 13 percent

COMMUNITY COLLEGES Over 99 percent of the direct appropriations to community colleges are from the General Revenue Fund and are generated through a funding formula The remaining direct appropriations are for isolated ldquospecial itemsrdquo including appropriations for the Southwest Collegiate Institute for the Deaf which is part of the appropriation for Howard College The Texas Education Code Section 130003(a) calls for state appropriations to public community colleges to ldquosupplement local funds for the proper support maintenance operation and improvement of those public junior colleges of Texas that meet the standards prescribed by the chapterrdquo Further Education Code Section 130003(c) indicates that state funds must be used ldquoexclusively for the purpose of paying salaries of instructional and administrative forceshellip and the purchase of supplies and materials for instructional purposesrdquo

Consistent with statute community colleges have their own Instruction and Administration Formula which is funded by General Revenue Funds and based on ldquostudent contact hoursrdquo Unlike general academic institution formulas this formula does not include tuition and fee revenue as part of the method of fi nance

The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 also provided $45 million to certain districts through a new small institution supplemental formula A district is eligible for the supplement if it makes a significantly above-average effort to generate tax income while at the same time experiencing below-average tax revenue and does not have a number of contact hours that exceeds the statewide median Th e Eighty-second Legislature appropriated each eligible district $05 million for the 2012ndash13 biennium

No state funding is provided for physical plant operations and maintenance or for facilities that is supported by local tax eff ort

Three community colleges receive weighted semester credit hour formula funding for a Bachelor of Applied Technology degree program

HOLD HARMLESS FUNDING

Th e Eighty-first Legislature 2009 provided $153 million in General Revenue formula hold harmless funding for aff ected community colleges to minimize the effect of reduced formula funding as a result of overall contact hour declines The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not provide any hold harmless funding in the 2012ndash13 biennium

Property taxes tuition and fees are other major sources of revenue for community colleges Figure 21 illustrates the estimated sources of funding for community colleges Th e state appropriations in Figure 21 include all formula special item Higher Education Group Insurance appropriations and retirement benefi t appropriations

FORMULA FUNDING

The basis of the formula starts with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) Report of Fundable Operating Expenses (RFOE) (formally called the All Funds Expenditure Report) The study includes all expenditures for instruction and administration (facilities costs are not included) in 26 program areas THECB uses the expenditure data to determine the median cost in the 26 program areasmdashthe ldquoratesrdquo for contact hours in those disciplines THECB then makes a recommendation for

LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 22

FUNDING COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES

funding based on the rates Over the years THECB has used various methodologies as the basis for its funding recommendations Because the RFOE takes into account all funds (state appropriations plus tuition and tax revenue which are not appropriated) THECBrsquos recommendation for state funding has generally not equaled 100 percent of the rates

The amount of the appropriation is a legislative decision based on funds available The appropriation is allocated to the colleges according to each districtrsquos pro-rata share of THECB recommendations

HIGHER EDUCATION GROUP INSURANCE (HEGI)

Like state institutions of higher education community colleges receive General Revenue Fund contributions for group insurance However since community college employees are local not state employees state contributions for health benefits are fully discretionary Other agencies and institutions of higher education report employee eligibility for General Revenue-funded group health insurance benefi ts only if the employeersquos salary is directly paid with General Revenue Funds However in the past community colleges tended to base eligibility for General Revenue-funded benefits if the employeersquos job function fell under an approved ldquoelement of costrdquo This practice caused community colleges to report eligibility for state funded health benefits in a manner that did not always match the source of the employeersquos salary

This practice led to the Governorrsquos veto of the Group Health Insurance appropriation for fiscal year 2009 ($154 million) at the end of the Eightieth Legislative session However an agreement to restore the vetoed funds was reached and returned directly to the districts in House Bill 4586 Eighty-first Legislature Regular Session 2009

The Eight-Second Legislature 2011 allowed community colleges to receive General Revenue Fund contributions for employees whose job function fell under an approved ldquoelement of costrdquo However the Legislature only funded 42 percent of the premium costs for these employees

OTHER STAFF BENEFITS

Appropriations for retirement contributions are included under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and Optional Retirement Program (ORP) bill patterns Some higher education employees primarily faculty and certain administrators are eligible for ORP a defi ned contribution plan similar to a 401k Other higher education employees

participate in TRS a defi ned benefit plan In both instances the state funds retirement contributions equal 60 and 64 percent of an employeersquos salary in fiscal year 2012 and fi scal year 2013 respectively (These appropriation amounts are not included in Figure 2 on page 3)

DRAMATIC ENROLLMENT GROWTH

Since the 1996ndash97 biennium public community colleges have received ldquoDramatic Enrollment Growth Fundingrdquo For the 2000ndash01 biennium this was expanded to include Texas State Technical Colleges and Lamar State Colleges (Lamars) The appropriation was made to THECB Rider 13 page IIIshy53 General Appropriations Act (2010ndash11 Biennium) provided guidelines for distributing this funding

For the 2010ndash11 biennium THECB is authorized to allocate up to $175 million per year to schools experiencing a growth rate of five percent or greater in 2010 and eight percent or greater in 2011 The Eighty-second Legislature 2011 did not provide any dramatic enrollment growth funding in the 2012-13 biennium

OTHER TRUSTEED FUNDS

Students at community colleges also benefi t from Texas Educational Opportunity Grants the student fi nancial aid program appropriation that is allocated by THECB

TEXAS STATE TECHNICAL COLLEGE LAMAR STATE COLLEGES The Texas State Technical Colleges (TSTC) and Lamar State Colleges are allocated a majority of their appropriation via two formulas the Instruction and Administration Formula for two-year institutions and the Infrastructure Formula for general academic institutions Similar to general academic institutions the tuition revenue for these colleges is included in the appropriations bill

Contact hours for vocationaltechnical courses represent approximately 61 percent of total contact hours at the Lamar State Colleges and 72 percent at TSTC institutions Th e remaining contact hours are generated from academic and continuing education courses

Facilities funding is available from the Higher Education Fund for both TSTC and the Lamars State Colleges and both have received Tuition Revenue Bond authorizations

FUNDING TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES

There are seven research and service agencies that are administered by the Texas AampM University System Th e system agenciesrsquo missions differ from other institutions of higher education in that each system agency focuses on one or two of the three traditional missions of higher education institutions research extension and service (Figure 22)

STATUTORY AUTHORITY MISSIONFUNCTIONS

For the 2012ndash13 biennium the total direct appropriations for Texas AampM System (System) agencies are $8897 million In addition to state appropriations the System agencies receive some Federal Funds that are not included in the General Appropriations Act and have access to private funds While System agencies have significant portions of their Other Funds and Federal Funds appropriated the appropriations are estimated and actual income from these funding sources is subject to signifi cant variation

FUNDING TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES

FIGURE 23 TEXAS AampM SYSTEM AGENCIES COMPARED TO INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION

SIMILARITIES

FUNDING

Both Texas AampM System (System) agencies and institutions of higher education have considerable flexibility in their budgeting and financial operations (ldquolump sumrdquo appropriations)

Both are eligible to receive proceeds from the Permanent University Fund

Both are considered to be institutions of higher education for purposes of employee group health insurance

Both System agencies and institutions of higher education generate and keep 100 percent of indirect cost recovery from research and other grants

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

OPERATIONS

Like other institutions of higher education System agencies are not required to submit operating budgets or strategic plans

Both are statutorily embedded within the Texas AampM Systemrsquos institutional framework

SOURCE Legislative Budget Board

DIFFERENCES

General academic health-related and two-year institutions receive formula funding while System agencies do not

Texas AampM System agencies do not generate revenue in the same manner or amount of other higher education institutions

Performance measures for the System agencies are agency-specific while performance measures for other higher education institutions are standardized

In several ways state funding for System agencies is similar to funding for higher education institutions System agencies have considerable flexibility in their budgeting and fi nancial operations because they receive lump-sum appropriations in the same manner as other institutions of higher education They are eligible to receive funds from the Permanent University Fund (PUF) (They were allocated $153 million from the PUF for debt service in the 2012ndash13 biennium) System agencies are also funded in the same manner as other institutions of higher education with regard to staff benefi ts including employee group health insurance contributions

However there are several funding diff erences between System agencies and other higher education institutions Most significantly System agencies do not receive formula-based funding Also while some System agencies may charge fees for their services they do not generate tuition and fees in the same manner or quantity as other institutions of higher education

As is the case with all institutions the System agencies keep 100 percent of their respective indirect cost recovery income

because this income is derived from earnings on federal grants and is held outside the treasury

For the 2012ndash13 biennium funding associated with infrastructure expenses and utilities for System agencies inside Brazos County is equal to the infrastructure rate (as determined by the General Academic formulas on page 6) for Texas AampM University

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q What are the limitations on how institutions spend state appropriations

A Generally speaking institutions have great fl exibility in spending appropriated funds however some limitations do exist depending on the source of revenue Appropriated revenue includes General Revenue Funds General Revenuendash Dedicated Funds (mostly tuition and fee income) Other Funds (including Patient Income) and Federal Funds (for certain Texas AampM System Agencies) Th e Texas Constitution (Article VII Section 18(i) and 17(j)) prohibits with limited exceptions the use of General Revenue Funds for acquiring land or for construction projects An exception occurs when the legislature by two-thirds vote in each house expressly determines that there is a demonstrated need for the project

Various provisions in the 2012ndash13 General Appropriations Act (GAA) Higher Education Special Provisions restrict state appropriations These restrictions include the following

bull Section 6 (Rider 8b) which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for auxiliary enterprises

bull Section 6 (Rider 9) which limits the use of these funds to pay debt service for statutorily authorized tuition revenue bonds Any such appropriation not spent must be returned to the General Revenue Fund at the end of the year

bull Section 9 which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for intercollegiate athletics purposes and

bull Section 54 which limits the use of the Research Development Fund to those defined in Education Code Section 62091

Q Would an increase in tuition revenue replace a corresponding amount in General Revenue Funds or would the revenue remain within the institution

A The result depends on how the Legislature responds

For instance assume that the Eight-second Legislature 2011 changed the statute to require institutions to charge nonresident tuition in circumstances where they had previously waived the nonresident tuition rate For the 2012ndash13 biennium institutions would benefit fully from the

increase in tuition revenue (This assumes the formula calculation would not include a projected increase in tuition)

However institutional appropriations in the 2014ndash15 biennium now depend on that legislation passed in the Eighty-third Legislature 2013 Assuming the same number of students (semester credit hours) enroll regardless of changes in tuition policy and that the result of charging nonresident tuition generated $100 million in additional tuition revenue there are three options

1 Reduce General Revenue Funds (GR) in the formulas by $100 million In this scenario the formula rate stays the same and every dollar increase in tuition revenue results in a dollar decrease in GRmdashinstitutional funding does not increase

2 Keep GR the same and run the additional tuition revenue through the formulas Th e formula funding rate would increase and every institution would receive more funds including those institutions that generated no additional tuition revenue

3 Keep GR formula appropriations at the same level and let individual institutions keep the additional tuition revenue they generated outside the formula allocation

Q Are all tuition and fee revenues collected by institutions of higher education included in the appropriations bill

A No None of the tuition and fee revenues collected by community colleges are appropriated

For general academic institutions an estimate of the revenue from certain tuitions and fees such as statutory tuition (Education Code 54051 Tuition Rates) board authorized tuition (Education Code 54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board) Laboratory Fees (Education Code 54501) and certain other fees are appropriated in the GAA as General Revenue FundsndashDedicated Estimated Other Educational and General Income There are a number of other tuitions and fees that are not included in the GAA and therefore not referred to as state funding Such tuitions and fees include but are not limited to designated tuition (Education Code 540513 Redesignation of Building Use Fee) and Incidental Fees (Education Code 54504) Federal

FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD 27

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Funds are also not appropriated to the general academic and health-related institutions

Q Is a decrease in enrollment the only reason an institution would be eligible for formula funding hold harmless

A No Each session the Legislature makes a determination of whether it will make an appropriation for formula hold harmless A decrease in total enrollment is one reason an institution could be eligible for the funding Because the semester credit hours (general academic institutions) full-time student equivalents (health-related institutions) used in the formulas are based on weights (discipline program and course level) a change in the type of student enrollment regardless of total enrollment could also make an institution eligible for hold harmless funding

Q What are Educational and General Funds

A ldquoOther Educational and General Incomerdquo is a subset of ldquoEducational and General Incomerdquo The following are included in the Education Code (51009(c)) defi nition for ldquoEducational and General Fundsrdquo net tuition special course fees charged under Education Code 54051(e) and (l) lab fees student teaching fees hospital and clinic fees organized activity fees and proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment

Q What does it mean to be a Tier One institution

A The Tier One reference is often derived from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teachingrsquos prior system for classifying institutions of higher education As part of the 1994 version of the Carnegie Classification there were four categories for doctorate granting institutions Research Universities I Research Universities II Doctoral Universities I and Doctoral Universities II ldquoTier Onerdquo was synonymous with Research Universities I Such institutions had to off er a full range of baccalaureate programs award 50 or more doctoral degrees each year and receive annually at least $40 million or more in federal research funds Two institutions in Texas (The University of Texas at Austin and Texas AampM University) met these criteria The 2000 version of the Carnegie Classification collapsed the categories for doctorate granting institutions from four to two Doctoral Research UniversitiesmdashExtensive and DoctoralResearch UniversitiesmdashIntensive Six public institutions in Texas (Texas AampM University Texas Tech University University of Houston University of North Texas The University of Texas at Arlington and The University of Texas at Austin) meet the criteria for DoctoralResearch Universitiesmdash

Extensive In 2005 however the classifi cation structure returned to a more restricted top tier of institutions classifi ed as ldquoResearch Universities (very high research activity)rdquo Both The University of Texas at Austin and Texas AampM University are now counted in this category but any reference to Tier One usually refers to the 1994 Carnegie Classifi cation

Q What is the space model What is the base number of square feet needed

A In 1992 the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approved the Space Projection Model for Higher Education Institutions in Texas for public universities to assess the net assignable square feet (NASF) of educational and general space an institution needs There are fi ve categories incorporated into the model teaching library research offi ce and support space Space needs for auxiliary purposes such as dormitories or athletics are not included in the model Square footage amounts are assigned based on a number of elements within each category including the number of students and their program levels and the amount of research expenditures The space model was fi rst incorporated into the funding formulas for general academic institutions in 1997

Q What are ldquoOrganized Activitiesrdquo

A General academic institutions have a funding strategy titled ldquoOrganized Activitiesrdquo These are activities or enterprises that are connected with instructional departments Th ey are intended primarily to give training to students Examples include a university farm nurserypreschool programs an optometry clinic and lifeguard training

Q What are tuition revenue bonds

A Established in 1971 under Education Code 5513 tuition revenue bonds are bonds (not to exceed 50 years) issued by institutions of higher education for the purpose of ldquoproviding funds to acquire purchase construct improve enlarge andor equip any property buildings structures activities services operations or other facilities for and on behalf of its institution or institutions or any branch of branches thereofrdquo Each institutionsystem is authorized and required to pay debt service on its bonds Although the authorization and issuance of the bonds is not contingent on an appropriation by the state for related debt service the Legislature has provided General Revenue Funds to reimburse institutions for costs related to debt service However in the 2004ndash05 GAA the legislature changed this practice and only provided General Revenue Fund reimbursements for interest

LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEXAS ndash ID 690 28

APPENDIX A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

on bonds issued after March 31 2003 The 2006ndash07 GAA renewed the practice of reimbursing institutions for the costs related to debt service The 2008ndash09 GAA and 2010-11 GAA continues this practice

Q What Is Proportionality

A Pursuant to Section 608 of Article IX of the 2012ndash13 GAA the legislative intent of proportionality is to ldquomaximize balances in the General Revenue Fundrdquo by harmonizing salary funding source with benefits funding source Th is effectively means the Legislature limits its General Revenue Fund contributions for benefits only to those employees having salaries paid with General Revenue Funds As such proportionality requires employee health and retirement benefits be paid in ldquoproportionrdquo to the funding source of salaries To this end institutions are obligated to submit the Accounting Policy Statement 011 Benefits Proportional by Fund (APS 011) report to the Comptroller Th is document provides a structure by which state and local contributions are ldquosettled uprdquo in light of the fiscal years fund proportionality

Q What Is the National Research University Fund

A In 1995 the Texas Constitution was amended to authorize the creation and funding of the Permanent Higher Education Fund (PHEF) The PHEF was intended eventually to become a permanent endowment to support non-Permanent University Fund eligible institutions However the PHEF corpus was rededicated with the voter passage of Proposition 4 which amended Article 7 of the Texas Constitution by establishing the National Research University Fund (NRUF) In 2009 Proposition 4 transferred the balance of the PHEF to the credit of the NRUF as of January 1 2010 and repealed the constitutional authorization for the PHEF

The NRUF is intended to provide a source of funding to enable emerging research universities in Texas to achieve national prominence as major research universities Article VII of the Texas Constitution authorizes the Legislature to appropriate some or all of the total return on all investment assets of the NRUF for the purposes of the fund except for two caveats (1) the Legislature may not increase distributions from the fund if the purchasing power of investment assets for any rolling 10-year period is not preserved and (2) the amount appropriated from the proceeds of the NRUF corpus in any fiscal year must be capped at 7 percent of the investment assetsrsquo average net fair market value Until the NRUF has been invested long enough to determine its purchasing power over a 10-year period the Legislature is

authorized to use other means of preserving the purchasing power of the fund

House Bill 1000 Eighty-second Legislature Regular Session 2011 establishes the specific eligibility and distribution criteria for the 2012ndash13 NRUF appropriations To be eligible to receive NRUF appropriations an institution must meet two mandatory criteria and four out of six optional criteria The mandatory criteria are that the institution is designated as an emerging research university within the THECBrsquos Accountability System and that the institution reported at least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the preceding two fiscal years Optional criteria include the following possession of an endowment fund values in excess of $400 million awarding over 200 Doctor of Philosophy degrees per year having an entering freshman class of high academic achievement recognition of institutionrsquos research capability and scholarly attainment possession of a high-quality faculty and possession of high-quality graduate education programs

APPENDIX B TUITION AND FEE PROVISIONS

VTCA Texas Education Code Section 54003 states No institution of higher education may collect from students attending the institution any tuition fee or charge of any kind except as permitted by lawhellip

The laws governing tuition and fees at institutions of higher education are found in Education Code Section 54 including a limited number of rules that relate to tuition and fees charged by junior and community colleges Education Code Section 54 includes statutes regarding statewide tuition and fee authority rules regarding residency for tuition and fee purposes and various exemptions for tuition and fees from nonresidency status Also it includes specific fee authority for individual institutions Figure B1 provides a listing of tuition and fee authorizations in Education Code Section 54 but does not include the items presented below or the various exemption and waiver provisions (Details about each provision can be found at httpwwwcapitolstate txus) Th ere are isolated instances outside Chapter 54 whereby the boards of regents are authorized to charge for specific services provided to students

This appendix highlights some of the more prominent tuition and fee provisions and indicates whether the related revenue is or is not included in the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT Tuition and fee revenue included in the GAA as General Revenue DedicatedndashFunds is referenced as ldquoOther Education and General Incomerdquo The amounts are ldquoEstimatedrdquo so whatever amount of revenue generated is the actual amount available to the institution to spend

54051 Tuition Rates (statutory tuition) In conjunction with Section 540512 Interim Tuition Rates resident tuition for undergraduate students reached $50 per semester credit hour in the 2005ndash06 academic year (the 2006 state fi scal year) Tuition for nonresident students at general academic medical and dental institutions is based on the average of nonresident tuition rates in the five most populous states other than Texas The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board must make this computation each academic year

54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board (also known as board authorized tuition) Applies to graduate programs Subsection (d) specifies that it is not to be used in the GAA as an offset to General Revenue Funds It is distributed across formula strategies after the formula calculation

54501 Laboratory Fees The fee amount must be sufficient to cover the general costs of laboratory materials and supplies used by a student It is not to be less than $2 or more than $30 per semester and it must not exceed the actual cost of materials and supplies

NOT INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT 540513 Designated Tuition Statute defi nes designated tuition as an institutional fund which means the revenue is not considered part of ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo Th e governing board can waive designated tuition for a student (see 54261) Statute specifies that this revenue not be used in the GAA as a way to offset General Revenue

54503 Student Services Fees This is intended for activities which are separate from the regularly scheduled academic functions of the institution and directly involve or benefi t students Except for The University of Texas at Austin (see 54513) and components of the University of Houston System (see 545061) the maximum of all compulsory student services cannot exceed $250 per semester It is kept separate from educational and general funds

54504 Incidental Fees The governing board sets the fee which must reasonably reflect the actual cost of the materials or services for which the fee is collected Examples of unearned fees include late registration library fi nes microfilming fees thesis or doctoral manuscript reproduction or filing fees and bad check charges

5516 Board Responsibility The governing board is authorized to ldquofix and collect rentals rates and chargesrdquo

APPROPRIATION METHODOLOGIES Direct Appropriation The actual appropriation either estimated or sum certain listed in that institutionrsquos portion of the General Appropriations Act (GAA)

Indirect Appropriation An appropriation made on behalf of an institution but not listed in that institutionrsquos portion of the GAA Examples include appropriations to the Available University Fund the Higher Education Fund and the Higher Education Coordinating Board all of which are ultimately allocated to institutions

Estimated Appropriation An estimated appropriation is a figure in the GAA that best reflects the information available about the revenue source but the amount available for an institution to spend is contingent on the amount of revenue actually generated If the actual amount of revenue is less than the estimated amount the institution is limited to the lower amount If more revenue is generated than the estimated amount the institution can spend the higher amount

Sum Certain Appropriation A sum certain appropriation in the GAA means that an institution is limited to spend no more than the level of appropriation noted in the institutionrsquos bill pattern in the GAA

Lump Sum Appropriation Texas Education Code Section 61059(k) calls for flexibility in funds appropriated to higher education institutions A lump sum appropriation is a single amount that is unrestricted which means that it can be used for any variety of strategies The GAA provides an ldquoInformational Listing of Appropriated Fundsrdquo below each institutionrsquos lump sum appropriation Higher education institutions are not required to spend their appropriation within specified strategies One exception to this is the Tuition Revenue Bond strategy which represents the appropriation related to debt service on related bonds and must be spent as appropriated or it is reverted to the treasury

METHODS OF FINANCE General Revenue (GR) The non-dedicated portion of the General Revenue Fund is the statersquos primary operating fund Most state tax revenue many state fees and various other sources of revenue are deposited as non-dedicated General Revenue Funds

General RevenuendashDedicated (GRndashD) This is the dedicated portion of General Revenue Funds For higher education institutions the bulk of General RevenuendashDedicated Fund appropriations consist of tuition and fee revenue generated by the institutions These include the tuition and fee revenue included as ldquoOther Educational and General Incomerdquo (defined below) ldquoboard authorized tuitionrdquo (Texas Education Code Section 54008)

Other Funds State funds not included in General Revenue Funds or General RevenuendashDedicated Funds For institutions of higher education these include the Available University Fund and Patient Income generated by health-related institutions

FUND TYPES Educational and General Income Th e Texas Education Code (51009(c)) definition for ldquoEducational and General Fundsrdquo includes (a) net tuition (b) special course fees charged under Education Code Section 54051(e) and (l) (c) lab fees (d) student teaching fees (e) hospital and clinic fees (f ) organized activity fees and (g) proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment

Institutional Funds Texas Education Code Section 51009(b) defines institutional funds as those that are not ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo An example of an institutional fund is ldquodesignated tuitionrdquo (Texas Education Code Section 540513) These funds are not included in the GAA

Local Funds Texas Education Code Section 51009(a) defines local funds as net tuition certain special course fees lab fees student teaching fees hospital and clinic fees organized activity fees proceeds from the sale of educational and general equipment and indirect cost recovery fees Th is revenue is accounted for as ldquoeducational and general fundsrdquo and is included in the GAA

Other Educational and General Income The GAA includes some tuition and fees collected by institutions of higher education (General RevenuendashDedicated Funds) Th e revenue from tuition and fees such as statutory tuition (see texas Education Code Section 54051 Tuition Rates) board authorized tuition (see Texas Education Code Section 54008 Tuition Rate Set by Governing Board) Laboratory

Fees (Texas Education Code Section 54501) and certain other fees are considered Other Educational and General Income (Other EampG) and are appropriated in the GAA as General RevenuendashDedicated Funds Other Educational and General Income is a subset of Educational and General Income (EampG Income)

Patient Income Health-related institutions that operate hospitals or dental clinics generate patient income from services rendered It is allocated as a method of finance to the related institution across a range of strategies in the institutionrsquos bill pattern (Other Funds) For the 2010ndash11 biennium more than $48 billion in patient income was appropriated making it the largest method of fi nance for health-related institutions

OTHER ITEMS Indirect Cost Recovery Institutions negotiate a percentage of a grant with the federal government for Indirect Costs There are a number of factors included in the calculation including building and equipment use allowance operations and maintenance general departmental and sponsored projects administration and library costs
