In 1961, the Legislature designated the municipal system as the City University of New York. There are nineteen campuses, including nine senior campuses, seven community colleges, one technical college, a graduate school, and an affiliated medical school. The City University of New York is included in the Education, Labor and Family Assistance appropriation bill. State Operations In State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2002-03 the Governor recommends a total Senior College operating budget of $1,033,486,000. This includes General Fund support for CUNY Senior Colleges of $617,968,000 for the 2002-03 Academic Year. This represents a zero net change from the prior year level of funding. This level of funding fails to support $18,300,000 in mandatory cost increases estimated to be incurred at CUNY Senior Colleges during the 2002-03 Academic Year. The Executive proposal maintains funding levels provided in the 2001- 02 Academic Year for the Search for Elevation Education and Knowledge (SEEK) Program and for child care programs for students enrolled at CUNY senior campuses. This represents funding of $11,846,000 and $1,230,000 respectively. The Executive requests a deficiency appropriation of $20,000,000 for the 2001-02 Academic Year to reflect recently negotiated collective bargaining agreements. Aid to Localities The Executive provides a total Aid to Localities appropriation of $760,783,000 for SFY 2002-03. This represents a $3,875,000 increase above SFY 2001-02. This reflects the annualization of additional State support provided to CUNY for the 2001-02 Academic Year. In SFY 2002-03 the Governor provides $128,615,000 for CUNY community colleges. This represents a zero net change from SFY 2001-2002 funding levels. This level of support reflects the continuation of community college base aid at the level of $2,250 per FTE provided during the SFY 2001-02. This level of funding fails to support $11,100,000 in mandatory costs increases that are estimated to be incurred at CUNY Community Colleges during the 2002-03 Academic Year. The Executive proposes to maintain funding levels provided in the 2001-02 Academic Year for the College Discovery Program and child care programs for students enrolled at CUNY Community Colleges. This represents funding of $574,000 and $865,000 respectively. Capital Projects The Executive Proposal includes the sale of $160,000,000 in bonds by the Dormitory Authority to be used for project costs obligated during SFY 2001-02. This maintains funding for capital projects at prior year levels. |
