Division Support Model

The Division Support Model summary is broken down into three sections: Department Administration, Division Administration, & Non-salary Expense.

Using general positions needed to run an average department and division, the support model breaks down each position, the salary for that position, the variables that determine the FTE for that position, and the actual inputs to calculate the dollars needed to support that department/division's needs.

On top of the general positions, an additional Instructional Lab Support amount is added for each Division.  These cover positions or aspects that unique and outside of a standard department. (I.E. Music's Stage Director.)

Benefits are included at 45% of the Total Salary.

The third section of the DSM is the Non-salary Expense. This includes S & E - general support (Faculty and Staff non-student), NGN, and General Liability. (Also an Instructional Lab Support for S & E which vary depending on the department.)

Once the Total Predicted Budget is calculated, there is another summary which shows the Permanent Budget Adjustment. The calculation is as follows: (Division Support Model Predicted Budget) - (The Permanent Budget) - (Revenues) + (Master's Growth Incentive Baseline)

Permanent Budget is calculated from the Resource Profile. Calculation as follows: (Total Permanent Budget) - (Sub 0 - Academic Salaries) - (Sub 0 Benefits)

Revenue is made up of Student Fee Income, Summer Session Support Funding, & Concurrent Enrollment Income.
