New funding holdbacks to be addressed in public forum

Gov. Otter announced funding holdbacks last week that will affect Boise State’s budget and potentially all students currently attending. The 6 percent return implemented totals $4.7 million.

A public forum with a question and answer session is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 5 in the Student Union Building. All students are invited to attend this meeting at 3:30 p.m. in the Jordan Ballroom.

“We will likely continue to evaluate expenditure reductions and student tuition and fee increases to support our future operations and to fund any new initiatives,” President Bob Kustra said.

Top five reasons to become involved:

5. The temporary status will change in three months.

“As with any holdback, the action is temporary and must be acted upon by the Legislature when it reconvenes for its 2010 session in January,” said Otter in a recent press release.

Kustra stated this holdback was anticipated and appropriate financial plans have been made to cover this on a one-time basis. However, “we are on the last notch of our budget belt-tightening,” Kustra said in a statement to the campus community.

4. Democrats offer an available solution.

“It really is a question of priorities,” said Senate minority leader Kate Kelly.

She stated a solution favored by the Democrats would be to use the $274 million in reserves or the $50 million in unspent federal stimulus funds. This money has been saved to use in the state budget for next year.

3. Campus salaries have increased for 13  employees.

“All raises over which the governor has jurisdiction have been approved,” said Wayne Hammon, budget chief for Otter.

More than 800 state employees have received a pay increase since May, including 13 at Boise State. Kustra donated his $37,000 to charity.

2. Funding is available to manufacture assault-style shotguns.

“If this is not cause for optimism, I don’t know what is,” said Otter in a speech outlining Project 60 and Idaho’s state of recovery.

He mentioned three companies in the Treasure Valley that are working together to manufacture 5,000 shotguns per month in Meridian. The shotgun production and new rifle line are based on an arms manufacturing company in Turkey and will be marketed globally.

1. Campus meals exceed student expectations.

Sen. Laura Rogers announced the results of student feedback at the ASBSU meeting on Tuesday.

“Some stated that cutbacks should start in the athletic department where approximately 150 prepared meals are delivered to the football team before each home game,” she said.

Each meal is individually ordered and prepared by request.

Cost savings and revenue generating suggestions are encouraged prior to the meeting by emailing aacrosen@boisestate.edu.
