revenue growth.

liabilities and the backlog of unpaid bills totals $8.5B).

Universities.

FY 2013 Budget Context
(Colleges & Universities)
• State funding for higher education 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 often 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 2013 Budget Framework

the FY 2013 budget recommendations.

performance funding component.

of the Public Agenda.

FY 2013 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 FY2012 and
indicated support for Illinois Jobs Now! projects.
• However, there was no Capital Bill in FY2012, and the FY2013 project list is
nearly identical to the FY2012 list.
• To date, nearly $800M in Illinois Jobs Now! higher education capital funds
have been released.
• We expect $75M in private capital grant funds to soon be released.
• As of Fall 2011, the deferred maintenance backlog was $3.6 B.

FY 2013 Capital Improvements

Billion and include:

Projects.

IMSA, and community colleges (31 community
college projects).

approach utilized since FY 2009.
