ABC Details

Model Initialization
The Activity Based Costing Model uses the campus annualized FTES target (actual FTES as of Sept 20, 2019) to compute base allocations which has been distributed across the colleges based on percent of contribution to prior-year FTES actuals (incudes trades), discussions with deans, and trend data. Projected FTES in the respective categories (GE, LD, UD, and Grad) are based on prior-year ratios applied to the current FTES target.

Instructional Allocations
Funding per FTES in each of the categories was computed using average prior-year actual faculty costs. An additional allocation for Writing Intensive courses recognizes the effects of an enrollment cap of 30 (rather than 50) in these courses; an enrollment of 50 would generate 10 FTES; enrollment of 30 produces 6 FTES.

Salary Index Multiplier
Funding per FTES in each of the categories is indexed based on actual faculty salary data by college. Uses tempered salary index (average between last year's and this year's). Eventual goal is to get to the Cognos-generated salary index, but do so incrementally.

Administrative Support Allocations
Dean's office allocation: $433,636 + $50 per FTES; Department allocation: $435 per FTES 

Academic Technology (ATEC) Allocations
FTES * $85 * ATEC Index

Academic Technology (ATEC) Index
An index is used to reflect differential dependence on technology in the delivery of programs.

Allocation for Service to the Major
The major allocation recognizes the additional costs associated with serving the major, i.e. advising and departmental costs. 

Special Needs Allocation
The Special Needs Allocation recognizes the high cost and/or special instructional requirements (not covered in other columns) of selected disciplines/majors.  Allocations are based on a dean review and analysis of technology or lab support staff, special operating expenditures, and administrative agreements. Additionally, professional development allocations (using T/TT headcounts) are contained in these amounts.

FTES Targets
FTES Targets were determined using actual FTES taken on Sept 20 (census) with estimated trades applied.

T/TT Faculty Headcounts
Each college reported their T/TT headcounts. Chairs are included as faculty for this purpose.

Major Headcounts
Major headcounts are calculated using annualized primary and secondary major counts from the prior year.
