Beginning in FY 2005, the Legislature appropriated funds for the institutions of higher education to become members of the Campus Compact. The Utah Campus Compact is a coalition of college and university presidents and their campuses that has the goal of fostering the values and skills of citizenship in students. This is accomplished through students being actively involved in academically-based and co-curricular civic and community service. The Campus Compact also offers professional development for faculty, staff, and students at each of its 13 campuses engaged in service-learning and/or community service/volunteerism. The Compact also provides grant funding and scholarships. Members include the eight institutions in the USHE, the Utah College of Applied Technology, Brigham Young University, LDS Business College and Westminster College.
During the 2015 General Session, the Legislature appropriated for Fiscal Year 2016, $82,400 from all sources for Campus Compact. This is a 2.1 percent increase from Fiscal Year 2015 revised estimated amounts from all sources. The total includes $82,400 from the General/Education Funds, an increase of 2.1 percent from revised Fiscal Year 2015 estimates.
In addition to statewide compensation and internal service fund cost increases, the following appropriation adjustments were made during the 2015 General Session:
