UNIVERSITY TUITION AND FEE PROPOSALS June 19, 2019 Act on State University Fee and Tuition Proposals for FY 2020 Summary The FY 2020 fee and tuition proposals of each state university were submitted to the Board for first reading in May. The Board heard presentations from each of the universities at the May meeting and universities were given the opportunity to revise their original proposal for the Board to consider at the June meeting. Changes to the original proposal are noted below from KU, ESU, WSU, and KSU. The revised FY 2020 tuition and fee proposals for the state universities can be found on the Board’s website at: http://kansasregents.org/about/regent_meetings_agendas_and_minutes. Background The current tuition model is that the state budget is finalized first, so that tuition proposals are considered by the Board of Regents with the knowledge of the state funding available to the universities for the upcoming fiscal year. As the universities’ tuition proposals were prepared this year, the 2019 Legislature passed an appropriations bill for FY 2020 that restored $6.5 million to the state universities from the cut imposed in FY 2017, added $15.7 million for the Board to distribute among the universities as an operating grant, provided $11.8 million to the universities toward a state employee pay adjustment and also appropriated targeted funds to Emporia and Kansas State. Despite the funding increase, the state’s investment in the state universities still remains $31.5 million less than what was appropriated in FY 2009, in real dollars (not adjusted for inflation). State appropriations from the State General Fund and student tuition revenues are displayed below for reference.

FY 2017 and 2018 were the peak years for student tuition supporting the university operations at 56 percent. This comparison varies for each university, but this phenomenon is driven largely by the University of Kansas and Kansas State University which together consistently contribute approximately 73 percent of total system tuition revenues. State Universities State General Fund and Student Tuition 58% Financing of General Use Budgets 56% 54% 46% 44% 42% FY 2009 FY 2010 FY 2011 FY 2012 FY 2013 FY 2014 FY 2015 FY 2016 FY 2017 FY 2018 FY 2019 FY 2020 Student Tuition State General Fund The Board’s recent approach has been to set tuition and fee rates for each state university that reflects each university’s mission, program offerings, geographic locations, competitive environments, level of state support and other considerations. In recent years, the universities sustained reductions to their State General Fund appropriations. Tuition increases, although not intended to make up for those reductions, have clearly served to mitigate the financial dilemma created by the budget cuts. Per Board policy, the Board delegates to the chief executive officer of each institution the authority to establish user and administrative fees where the increase does not generate revenues in excess of $250,000 annually. Summary tables are provided for more context: Table 1 displays the tuition rates for a full-time student in all four categories (resident/non-resident, undergraduate/graduate). Table 2 displays the same information, but with campus-wide mandatory fees added to the tuition rates. Table 3 shows the fiscal effect of the percentage increase applied to the full-time students’ tuition. Table 4 lays out the revenue collections realized by the universities from the tuition rate decisions made by the Board. All tuition and fees are later incorporated along with housing rates and all other fees into the Comprehensive Tuition and Fees Report which is published annually on the KBOR web site at http://www.kansasregents.org/data/system_data/tuition_fees_reports Changes to Proposals from Original Submission (Reference Tables 1 and 2) Pittsburg State University, KU Medical Center and Fort Hays State University did not revise their proposals. The University of Kansas revised the undergraduate resident tuition rate for KU Lawrence campus to remain flat next year instead of a 1.0 percent increase. Emporia State University revised the undergraduate resident and non-resident tuition rates to remain flat next year instead of a 2.5 percent increase. Wichita State University revised the tuition proposal for undergraduate and graduate, resident and non- resident rates to all remain flat next year instead of a 1.0 percent increase. Kansas State University revised the tuition proposal to increase undergraduate and graduate, resident and non-resident rates to increase 1.5 percent instead of by 3.1 percent.
