STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                                                     RS27885 / H0603
This is the FY 2021 original appropriation bill for the State Board of Education's Division of College and
Universities. It appropriates a total of $629,819,200 and does not cap the number of authorized full-time
equivalent positions. This division includes the budgets for Boise State University, Idaho State University,
Lewis-Clark State College, the University of Idaho, and Systemwide Programs.
For benefit costs, the bill maintains the current appropriated amount for health insurance at $11,650 per
eligible FTP and temporarily removes funding for the employer's sick leave contribution rate. The enrollment
workload adjustment and endowment adjustments are included. The enrollment workload adjustment includes
$1,842,600 ongoing from the General Fund and $988,700 onetime from dedicated funds. The bill also
provides funding for the equivalent of a 2% change in employee compensation for permanent state employees,
with an additional 2% increase for those in the 20 job classifications most in need of equity adjustments.
Funding for a 3% upward shift in the compensation schedule is also included for Boise State University.
The bill funds three line items. Line item 1 provides 1.73 FTP and $1,414,600 for occupancy costs, of which
$707,300 is ongoing from the General Fund and $707,300 is onetime from dedicated funds. Line item 4 provides
a decrease of $20,800 for adjusted rent for the Idaho Law and Justice Learning Center, and line item 5 provides
$1,000,000 for cybersecurity programs. Lastly, the ongoing General Fund appropriation is reduced by 2%.
This budget is a 0.3% increase on the General Fund, and a total increase of 4.2% for all funds.
