Trustees approve budgets, upgrades
The board of trustees approved the 2009 fiscal year budgets, including a $275.7 million educational budget for main campus and a $13.5 million educational budget for BGSU Firelands, when it met yesterday (June 25).
The educational budget contains a 1.5 percent increase in the salary pool for faculty, administrative and classified staff as well as a $500,000 pool for promotion, tenure and market-pool adjustments.
For the third year in a row, annual tuition and fees for an entering first-year student remains at $9,060.
Sheri Stoll, vice president for finance and administration and chief financial officer, said the University is “pleased and appreciative” that the governor and state legislature have maintained their pledge of support for higher education in Ohio.
During the coming fiscal year, state support for main campus is projected to increase by $7.3 million, or 9.5 percent. However, a drop in enrollment of about 400 undergraduates as compared to 2008 has contributed to a decrease in University revenue of $3.3 million for fiscal year 2009. When added to last year’s drop of 350 undergraduates from 2007 numbers, BGSU has lost more than $6 million in instructional support over the two-year period, Stoll said.
