Motion (Carpenter/Allison): The CUPB appoint a subcommittee for the President’s Area composed of five members, one representative from the President’s Area and one from each of the vice presidential areas. The motion was postponed until the next meeting of the CUPB.

Julia Abell presented an overview of the planning cycle to the Council. She explained that her office is working on years FY02-FY05 at this time. She briefly reviewed the FY 2005 Planning and Budget Cycle with the Council.

Vice President Cooley presented a summarization of the revenues and expenditures in major areas in FY 2003. He identified expenditures, referred to by the BHE as "unavoidable cost increases" that contribute to the deficit. He advised the Council that the numbers presented reflect the budget at a point in time, and the budget is not a static document. He explained how the budget recall worked last year. He noted that there may be a midyear rescission again this year and the University may not know the amount until March.

Bill Weber discussed administrative and faculty cost trends. He explained the different types of definitions used in different reports. He noted that one of the reasons that administrative costs went up one year was mostly because several civil service positions were reclassified to become academic support professionals. He added that the percentage of appropriated staff funding spent on faculty salaries was highest in the state and that the percentage of appropriated staff funding spent on administrative and other professional salaries was below the average for all Illinois public universities.

This item was postponed until the next CUPB meeting due to lack of time.

None.

Motion (Carpenter/Hudson): To adjourn the meeting.

Billie Rawlings

Administrative Secretary
