FY 2016 Appropriation

Each institution in the USHE except the Utah College of Applied Technology has a separate line item for appropriated funds entitled Education and General (E&G). This line item is an institution's main line item, where most, if not all, of its instruction is funded.

Funding History
Appropriation Overview

During the 2015 General Session, the Legislature appropriated for Fiscal Year 2016, $60,011,700 from all sources for Education and General. This is an 8.1 percent increase from Fiscal Year 2015 revised estimated amounts from all sources. The total includes $32,032,700 from the General/Education Funds, an increase of 3.5 percent from revised Fiscal Year 2015 estimates.

Appropriation Adjustments

In addition to statewide compensation and internal service fund cost increases, the following appropriation adjustments were made during the 2015 General Session:

$39,700$0General Fund
The State Auditor requests a reduction of $712,500 from General Fund revenue and an increase of the same amount to Dedicated Credit revenue. This change would shift the billing for audit services directly to colleges and universities. The corresponding increase in GF appropriations to higher education could be reduced to $404,000, with the expectation that the difference could made up in tuition (43.4% of Higher Education funding is from Dedicated Credits).
