Fiscal Analysis
The bill would require the Higher Education Coordinating Board to conduct an annual study to identify achievable cost-saving measures in the operations of higher education institutions. The study would include examination of potential cost-savings relating to the following aspects of institutional operations: (1) facility utilization, including scheduling weekend and evening classes;(2) staffing; (3) the delivery of instruction and other educational services, including distance learning; (4) management practices; (5) efforts to promote timely graduation of students; (6) energy use; (7) purchasing; and (8) facility construction, acquisition, and maintenance.
Methodology
The Higher Education Coordinating Board has indicated that the study would be outsourced at a total cost of $1,000,000 in fiscal year 2010. The fiscal impact was calculated based on the estimated hours to complete the study (4,000) multiplied by $250 per hour.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
