    Office of the President The University of Montana Missoula, Montana 59812-3324 Office: (406) 243-2311 FAX: (406) 243-2797 DATE: September 27, 2011 TO: Executive Committee, Council of Vice Presidents, Deans, Directors, and Chairs FROM: Royce C. Engstrom, President SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2012 Operating Budgets I have completed my review of the operating budgets for each of the affiliated campuses of The University of Montana. The campuses have implemented budgets for FY2012 that are balanced, prudent, and consistent with the strategic goals of the Montana University System Board of Regents and with the strategic plans of each campus. While the Montana University System as a whole experienced a reduction in appropriation from the 2010- 2011 level, we were all challenged by some fixed cost and inflationary increases (most notably in technology and library resources) as well as the critical need to provide at least some modest compensation adjustments for faculty and staff. At the same time, a combination of positive factors helped us mitigate these issues. First, each of our campuses continues to experience enrollment growth. Each campus took proactive measures in the biennium just completed, not only to find operating efficiencies, but to continue and even redouble our efforts to improve enrollment and student success. These efforts are bearing fruit, as evidenced by continued resident enrollment growth on all four campuses and improved nonresident enrollment at the campuses in Missoula, Butte, and Dillon, along with—more importantly—marked improvement in student success at all four campuses. Second, the Board of Regents approved modest tuition rate increases for FY12 and FY13.

    Year 3 Montana NSF EPSCoR The Montana NSF EPSCoR Program is a partnership between Montana’s research universities (Montana State University and The University of Montana) as well as Montana Tech and Montana’s seven tribal colleges. Montana EPSCoR is focusing on increasing research competitiveness in two targeted research areas: Hydrogen and the Environment and Large River Ecosystems and one support area, Cyberinfrastructure. Hydrogen and the Environment builds on the expertise of researchers in the Montana University System who study hydrogen-metabolizing mechanisms in nature with the mission of applying their understanding to the development of hydrogen as an alternative fuel.

Engstrom, President SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2013 Operating Budgets I have completed my review of the operating budgets for each of the affiliated campuses of The University of Montana. All campuses have developed and implemented fiscally sound and principled budgets to ensure that we achieve our instructional mission. The University of Montana continues its commitment to provide students with a quality education and has increased its expenditures per FTE by 3.6% over the last five years. I am pleased that we have been able to manage costs while minimizing tuition increases during the same timeframe. As we enter the Legislative session for the 2015 Biennium, we will continue our collaborative partnerships to ensure that offering Montanans access to a quality college education is a priority for policymakers in state government. The University’s commitment to strategic initiatives remains a cornerstone of the planning, budgeting, implementation, and assessment cycle. Investment in these initiatives has had strong results. For example, the Partnering for Student Success program at Missoula has resulted in a first-year retention rate of 75 percent.
