RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR THE PROGRAM
The sources of funding for this program are the general fund, interagency transfers, fees and self-generated revenues, and federal funds. Interagency transfers at Southern University - New Orleans include funds from the Governor's Office of Urban Affairs and Development for the Small Business Development Center. Fees and self-generated revenues are from: (1) student fees, such as (a) general registration fees, (b) non-resident fees, and (c) other fees, (2) organized activities related to instruction; and (3) other revenues, such as (a) administrative costs, (b) indirect cost recoveries, (c) building use fees, (d) academic enhancement fees, and (e) miscellaneous fees. Federal funds are from Veterans' Administration funding for education, training and rehabilitation.
The total means of financing for this program is recommended at 100.4% of the existing operating budget. It represents 70.4% of the total request ($15,360,320) for this program. In addition to the statewide adjustments cited above, the major reason for the increase from the existing operating budget is due to Act 856 of 1997, the Southern University Board of Supervisors is authorized to impose certain tuition and attendance fee amounts for nonresident students at all institutions in the Southern System. A $38,055 adjustment to fees and self-generated revenues is recommended for this program to reflect the following campuswide adjustments: an $8 increase in out-of-state undergraduate tuition from $4,364 to $4,372 (vs. the regional average of $5,600) for 42 students; and a $1 increase in out-of-state graduate tuition from $4,609 to $4,610 (vs. the regional average of $5,164) for 5 students.
