The State University of New York
The Budget passed by the Legislature on May 1, 2003 made the following changes to the Executive Budget:
· Denies the Executive request to authorize the Board of Trustees to restructure the SUNY Health Science Centers.
· Reduces the in-state tuition increase by $250 to $950 per year.
· Increases out-of-state tuition by $4,700 to $13,000. According to DOB, if lower out-of-state tuition increases are adopted, it could result in operating cuts of $52 million in SUNY. The Governor could direct the SUNY Board of Trustees to take this action.
· Restores the $8.2 million cut to the Educational Opportunity Program for economically disadvantaged students.
The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of February 6, 2003):
· A decrease of 300 FTEs in SFY 2002-03.
· Legislation is being introduced that will give the SUNY Board of Trustees the authority to restructure the hospitals as not-for-profit corporations. If the Trustees approve such a conversion (and there is little doubt that they will if given the authority), this means that all SUNY hospital employees would no longer be state employees. The Executive Budget claims there will be 5,300 less state employees. This means that current hospital employees would no longer participate in the retirement system, would no longer be represented by PEF and would no longer have Civil Service system rights and protections.
· An appropriation of $92.6 million state subsidy. This represents an increase of $0.5 million from SFY 2002-03.
· An appropriation of $10.5 million for the multi-year effort to address the hospital’s accumulated deficit.
· An appropriation of $350 million in the Multi-Year Capital Investment Program to address the immediate capital and priority needs of the SUNY hospitals.
· Significant decreases in funding for all three Doctoral and Health Science Campuses. Stony Brook is cut by $105.4 million (47.5 percent), Brooklyn is cut by $28.9 million (40.5 percent) and Syracuse is cut by $21.2 million (42 percent). It is no clear how this cuts impact hospital operations or our members, especially given the personal services increases shown below. This is an item that should be clarified with management at the next Labor/Management meeting.
· The Executive Budget includes language that will decrease revenues that hospitals traditionally receive through Medicaid and increasing assessments. These changes will likely make the cost to the state of the SUNY hospitals even greater and could increase pressure to privatize them.
· An overall increase at Stony Brook Health Science Center of $50.5 million (10.2 percent). This is made up of an increase in personal services of $25.5 million (10.9 percent), an increase in nonpersonal services of $26.3 million (15.1 percent, a decrease in fringe benefits of $950,000 (1.2 percent) and a decrease of $14,000 (0.1 percent) in debt service.
· An overall increase at Brooklyn Health Science Center of $1.8 million (0.6 percent). This is made up of an increase of $3.2 million (2.2 percent) in personal services, an increase of $4 million (4.7 percent) in nonpersonal services, a decrease of $4.6 million (9.1 percent) in fringe benefits and a decrease of $871,000 (15.8 percent) in debt service.
· An overall increase at Syracuse Health Science Center of $33.6 million (9.9 percent). This is made up of an increase of $12.6 million (8.8 percent) in personal services, an increase of $22 million (15.9 percent) in nonpersonal services, a decrease of $1.4 million (2.8 percent) in fringe benefits and an increase of $395,000 (4.6 percent) in debt service.
