To put this year’s budget into perspective (from January 2003)

Bad News SUNY “assessment” ($1,072,600.) Anticipated mid-year cut Expected increase in utility costs 2004-05 may be even worse

Won’t have sufficient IFR reserves Expect to increase student fees

2008-2009 Budget

Good news: Governor’s support for SUNY

Bad news: may take some time to realize increase; tuition increase unlikely

This year helped by $350k in enrollment growth, hope to sustain this
