FY 2014 Budget Context
(State)
• Pension and Medicaid costs are exceeding the rate of State
revenue growth.
• The State is currently experiencing a debt crisis (Current
liabilities and the backlog of unpaid bills totals $8.5B).
• The State is months behind in its payments to colleges and
Universities.
• Adequate financial aid funding for both MAP and Pell
continues to be of concern.
• Based on GOMB guidance, we anticipate additional funding
reductions in FY 2014. (GOMB Guidance – 4.62%)
• We still do not know the extent of any pension cost transfer.

FY 2014 Budget Context
(Colleges & Universities)
• State funding for higher education operations has declined steadily
over the last 15 years.
• There has been minimal funding for capital projects, to include
renovation, remodeling, maintenance, and repair.
• Unfunded state mandates and regulatory requirements undermine
efficiency and productivity.
• Illinois’ student financial aid system has been eroded at a time
when low-income families have less ability to pay for college.
• Institutions try to protect instruction, but are often forced to
squeeze cost savings out of instruction and student support
services.
• The burden of financing a college education has increasingly fallen
on students and families.

FY 2014 Budget Framework
• We will continue to use the Step Level approach for
the FY 2014 budget recommendations.
• The FY 2014 budget recommendations will include a
performance funding component.
• The budget recommendations will support the goals
of the Public Agenda.
• Priority of funding is directed toward maintaining core
capacity, deferred maintenance, MAP, and funding for
grants.

FY 2014 Capital Improvements
• Capital renewal funding provides critical support to protect the state’s
capital investment.
• Improving campus facilities helps schools attract, recruit, and retain
students. Support for library projects, and science labs, and other campus
facilities address multiple goals of the Illinois Public Agenda.
• Last Year, the Board approved a new capital project list for FY2013 and
indicated support for Illinois Jobs Now! projects.
• However, there was no Capital Bill in FY2013, and the FY2014 project list is
nearly identical to the FY2013 list.
• To date, nearly $900M in Illinois Jobs Now! higher education capital funds
have been released.
• As of Fall 2012, the deferred maintenance backlog was $3.6 B.
