The report provides a summary of capital projects that campuses expect to propose for funding from non-State sources over the next five years, from 2004-05 to 2008-09. In preparing this report at this time last year, we asked the campuses to take into account the current fiscal realities and enrollment uncertainties. Given the difficulties that the University faced in the budget for 2003-04, and in consultation with the campuses, it was decided that the 2003-04 to 2007-08 Five-Year Non-State Capital Program would not be published. The Non-State Capital Program as presented in this report is based on the campuses’ best estimates of non-State fund sources that will be available for defined capital projects over the next five years, including debt financing, campus resources, gifts, capital reserves, and federal funds. This summary of future non-State funded projects is presented to the Board of Regents for information purposes only, to provide an overview of what is currently expected to be the University’s non-State capital program over the next five years.
