Useful information.
Government transparency is important. In that interest, I give you something useful: incidental fee budget allocations per group both for 2009-10 and 2010-11. I went ahead and divided each number by 21,000 for 09-10 and 21,400 for 10-11, just so you can see how much YOU pay for each of these groups. Click on the image to see the whole file (too big to put on the blog as an image). Enjoy!
Notes:
1. If a group received money for 2009-10 and not for 2010-11, it is likely because they didn’t turn in a budget packet.
2. There are two groups that are listed as n/a for 2010-11 in the PFC budget — Forensics and Service Learning Program. Forensics was moved onto the DFC budget, and Service Learning Program was absorbed into the Holden Leadership Center.
3. All dollar amounts per student are rounded to the nearest cent, so each column does not come out to exactly $585 (or $576 for 2010-11). I didn’t include totals because the numbers were so skewed from rounding.
4. 2009-10 amounts don’t include surplus requests or other monies not obtained through the fee allocation process.
5. EMU Board Programs only receive a portion of funding from the incidental fee. Numbers listed for these programs are incidental fee allocations, not whole budget numbers.
6. If there are any questions about any particular funding decision, leave a comment and I’ll try to answer.
