• Pension and Medicaid costs are exceeding the rate of State revenue growth.

• The State is currently experiencing a debt crisis (Current liabilities and the backlog of unpaid bills totals $8.5B).

• The State is months behind in its payments to colleges and Universities.

FY 2013 Budget Context(Colleges & Universities)

• State funding for higher education has declined steadily over the last 15 years.

• There has been minimal funding for capital projects, to include renovation, remodeling, maintenance, and repair.

• Unfunded state mandates and regulatory requirements undermine efficiency and productivity.

• Illinois’ student financial aid system has been eroded at a time when low-income families have less ability to pay for college.

• Institutions often squeeze cost savings out of instruction and student support services.

• The burden of financing a college education has increasingly fallen on students and families.

FY 2013 Capital Improvements• Capital renewal funding provides critical support to protect the state’s

capital investment.

• Improving campus facilities helps schools attract, recruit, and retain students. Support for library projects, and science labs, and other campus facilities address multiple goals of the Illinois Public Agenda.

• Last Year, the Board approved a new capital project list for FY2012 and indicated support for Illinois Jobs Now! projects.

• However, there was no Capital Bill in FY2012, and the FY2013 project list is nearly identical to the FY2012 list.

• To date, nearly $800M in Illinois Jobs Now! higher education capital funds have been released.

• We expect $75M in private capital grant funds to soon be released.

• As of Fall 2011, the deferred maintenance backlog was $3.6 B.
