How will you being incorporating IRPs for STAFF

Would you repeat the amount or how many months need to be in reserves?

Great presentation - highly informative! This should be mandatory "training" for all managers. Thank you, Leon, Matias and Randy!

I didn't record the numbers. What is the difference between the general operating budget and expenses?

The FTES that we achieve are much higher than the funded FTES. 1. How does CSUSM fund that gap (e.g., reserves)? 2. Do you expect the CSU to allocate more funds to CSUSM to close that gap?

Will there be future opportunities for learning how the Compact will work for us?

Because we are over target for registrations, is the Chancellors office penalizing us in our allocations? I recall that used to be the practice if we went over target numbers.

Hi Matias, Leon and Randy, little more clarification regarding over target by the CO as I don’t want folks to think we don’t need to continue outreach because there his a difference between the CO target and our need to meet our campus goals in order to remain viable. Its nuanced the over target thing

For our funded enrollment, how does actual FTEs admitted impact the resident funded FTEs? Referring back to the chart in 2021-2022, we enrolled more FTEs than the Resident Funded FTE number. How has that impacted our university and what would you suggest to improve this area?

What role does CSU play in developing how the metrics are determined?

We historically achieve more FTES than our target, but the overage in FTES has declined over the past few years. Is that deliberate or a consequence of the looming enrollment crisis? How are we addressing declining enrollment, which affects the budget.

Does that $14K figure include housing?

The cost of educating one student?

metrics for Compact

Is it fair to say we will see the financial benefit of enrollment growth, but we will need to maintain fiscal focus over the next 18-24 months?

In other words, if we were to pay a "full board" scholarship to one student for one year, what would that cost?

How is the campus prioritizing the cost of enrolling students with greater academic needs (due to COVID, lower academic prep, etc.)? Higher enrollment is great, but some of these students cost MORE to support (academic probation, mental health, etc.)?

Our bigger challenge in addition to declining prospective students is retention.. we will not be able to recruit our way out of this we need to shore up retention in a big way

And we have a very competitive environment in the recruitment landscape

Agreed! This is something that needs priority attention.

Speaking of retention, our STAFF retention and staff position vacancies need to be addressed. Overworking our Staff without compensation is not a solution.

Agree, that we need more outreach and recruitment, that the looming enrollment crisis (lower birth rates, changing demographics, higher costs of higher education, …) is here and we cannot recruit our way out of this problem and that retention is KEY to solving this problem.

Retention is a financial and moral imperative.

Retaining students is harder than ever right now with cost of living and trying to meet basic needs.

Agree Leon .. perhaps to add to Justin’s query we need to prioritize resourcing student support infrastructure.. that stuff is expensive

In my view, Social Mobility is a by-product of what we do.

And streamlining the student support infrasctrure

Agreeing with the outreach, we need to get out to schools earlier. Research shows we need to connect with students at a critical point in their life when they decide which path they want to follow in their life. By the time they are in high school, it is highly likely that they have already made their decision based on the access of information they have had before that time. From our experience, we only have enough staff to go to high schools and speak to seniors. Students want more then just a degree, they want a support system from beginning to end that is clear to them.

Our local service area communities are in dire need of Early Outreach. This type of outreach is critical when considering the student life cycle.

Strategic product growth, in addition to retention, is another imperative for addressing enrollment.

Thank you Leon and Mary. Just a quick plug for EAIP (Early Academic Intervention Plan) three HEERF funded positions aimed to address academic probation EARLY. Currently not funded past June 2023.

Agreed, Vanessa.
