RE: FY19 Strategic Investment Allocations
This memorandum outlines my FY19 ²ÝÁñÉçÇø strategic investment decisions. The final funding decisions were based on input from the ²ÝÁñÉçÇø planning and budget committee (PBC), core cabinet, and the UA system office.
Major investment themes align with the Board of Regents’ (BOR) priorities: Economic Development, Skilled Workforce Development, Research, and Enrollment/Degree Attainment. An important criterion in the selection of initiatives for funding is the potential for high return on investment in increased enrollment or external research funding. The allocations are from three different funding sources: one-time funds from ²ÝÁñÉçÇø’s FY18 central unreserved fund balance (UFB); three-year funds allocated to ²ÝÁñÉçÇø by President Johnsen from a UA system internal initiative pool; and ²ÝÁñÉçÇø’s allocation of new base general funds (GF) allocated to UA in the FY19 state operating budget.
²ÝÁñÉçÇø Financial Services will distribute/set-up the funding for the investments listed below. If you have questions, please contact me.
