Academic Affairs was unable to meet their entire reduction amount in base. The Academic Affairs division achieved their reduction amount with $2,805,069 in base funding and $2,731,316 in one-time funding.

    Lupei then reviewed the details of the base reduction funding sources. Among all Divisions, the base reductions were taken in the categories of unallocated vacant personnel dollars; vacant staff, management, and tenure track positions; various position restructures savings; operating expense budgets; and student assistant budgets. The one-time funding reductions were taken in the following categories; unallocated vacant personnel dollars, instructional budget, and operating expense budgets. The 2022-2023 projected deficit is $17.1M. The current strategies to resolve the deficit consist of the budget call base reductions of $5M; the budget call one-time reductions of $2.7M; and University Wide strategies of $6.6M.
