CAFLS Summer School Revenue Return Policy

Section:  College of Agriculture, Forestry, and Life Sciences

Subject:  Return of Summer School Revenue to the Departments

Effective:  July 1, 2009

Statement:

Currently, the University returns 61% of generated summer school revenue to the colleges.

Purpose:

A policy is needed to allow department chairs to make the decisions on summer school courses.  It will be the responsibility of each chair to ensure that his/her summer school activities are self supporting.  Also, the intent of this policy is to encourage an increase of summer school courses offered by the College. 

Discussion:

In the past, the College has been forced to utilize summer school revenue to help fund its deficits.  This practice discouraged the offerings of summer school courses by the College.

Policy:

The return of summer school revenue to the departments will be the full 61% returned to the College.  The department will have the responsibility to cover all salary, fringe, and course expenditures from these returned funds.  The summer school revenue balances at the end of the fiscal year will be allowed to carry over from one fiscal year into the next in order for departments to maximize the benefit of this policy.
