The number of staff positions, size of maintenance and operations budgets and the budget total for each unit are based upon need and current projected income.
For all self-supporting units (to include all auxiliary funds and some designated funds) the administrative charge will be 8% of actual revenue. The projected administrative charge expense must be considered as the expenditure budgets are prepared. The activities classified as auxiliary or designated are basically self-supporting activities and as such, set cost of goods and services at a level to cover the normal operating expenses expected for operations. Auxiliary and designated cost centers have a basic need for administrative services; therefore, should be charged for a share of the administrative support expenses. These self-supporting units will be charged a percentage for administrative costs incurred in support of operation and maintenance. The administrative charge applies to all auxiliary fund cost centers (all revenue accounts) and all designated cost centers (only sales & service revenue accounts). This charge will be assessed at the end of each month during the year. These funds, combined with the revenue generated from the Designated Tuition and the Bookstore, are used to support university priorities.
Staff benefits, which are approximately 30% of gross salary, must be budgeted in the individual local cost centers. |
