STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                                                     RS28027 / H0644
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 $628,654,200 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 $531,000 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 $707,300 ongoing from the General Fund for occupancy costs. Line item 4 provides
for 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 4.0% for all funds.
