The budget workshop served as an informal session for trustees to discuss the proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Operating Budget and the Academic Portfolio and Resources Review. Key discussion points included the current FY 2026 budget status, which indicated operations were balanced overall but required drawing from the Tuition Stabilization Fund (TSF) due to increased utility costs and other expenditures exceeding appropriations. Enrollment trends, including slowing growth and projections concerning the anticipated enrollment cliff between 2028 and 2030, were presented. The proposed $5 per credit hour tuition increase, aligning with inflation, was reviewed concerning its impact on affordability and enrollment elasticity. The session also detailed the ongoing fiscal resiliency work, which involved an external review of academic programs, course analysis, and faculty posture, noting improvements in academic program compression. Furthermore, the proposed FY 2027-2032 Capital Budget was reviewed, focusing exclusively on renovations rather than new construction, including plans for the Dragun science building and the relocation of the Hotel, Culinary Arts and Tourism Institute (HCAT). Compensation for FY 2026 was detailed, noting a 6% compensation pool and the College's efforts to remain competitive in the labor market using a market-based salary approach. Finally, a multi-year budget planning tool illustrated that continued reliance on the TSF without additional revenue or expense reduction may pose challenges beyond the third year, underscoring the need for efficient resource deployment.
