The State University of New York
The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 21, 2004):
· An estimated 36,752 FTE positions consisting of 22,152 positions supported through a combination of state tax dollars and tuition revenues and 14,600 positions supported by other funds. According to the Division of Budget’s Workforce Impact Summary Report there will be no positions abolished or lost to attrition in SFY 2004-05.
· The budget proposes a 21.2%, or $920 million, increase in SUNY’s State Operation budget, rising from $4.3 billion to $5.3 billion. More than half of this increase is reflected in a $554 million addition for other employee fringe benefits, which was apparently shifted from general state charges appropriations. This issue should be clarified with SUNY management.
· Legislation will again be introduced to allow the SUNY Board of Trustees transfer operations of the SUNY hospitals to one or more private, not-for profit corporations. If the Trustees approve the conversion (and there is little doubt that they will if given the authority), 9,300 SUNY hospital employees would not be state employees. This means it is possible that current hospital employees could no longer participate in the retirement system, could no longer be represented by PEF and could no longer have Civil Service system rights and protections. The bill directs the Trustees to turn over a transfer plan to the Governor and the Legislature on or before October 1, 2004.
· An overall increase at Stony Brook Health Science Center of $45.8 million (8.4 percent) This is made up of an increase in personal services of $15.5 million (6 percent), an increase in nonpersonal services of $5 million (2.5 percent), an increase in fringe benefits of $18.9 million (24.4 percent), and an increase of $6.4 million (62.1 percent) in debt service.
· An overall increase at Brooklyn Health Science Center of $29.5 million (10.1 percent). This is made up of an increase in personal services of $6 million (4 percent), an increase in nonpersonal services of $12.8 million (14.1 percent), an increase in fringe benefits of $8.5 million (18.6 percent) and an increase of $2.3 million (48.4 percent) in debt service.
· An overall increase at Syracuse Health Science Center of $54.2 million (14.6 percent). This is made up of an increase in personal services of $8.4 million (5.4 percent), an increase in nonpersonal services of $33.6 million (21 percent), an increase in fringe benefits of $10.5 million (22.3 percent) and an increase in debt service of $1.7 million (19.1 percent).
· The recommended State subsidy for the SUNY hospitals, which recognizes costs attributable to their state agency status, is maintained at $92.6 million for 2004-05
· A payment of $13 million will be made from reserves held by the Dormitory Authority or the State’s share of a multi-year effort by the SUNY hospitals and the State to address the accumulated deficit of the hospitals.
· The maintenance undistributed appropriation for services and expenses related to the operation of the Long Island Veterans’ Home is reduced by $500,000 (1.6 percent). It is unclear what impact if any this reduction will have on employees. This issue should be clarified with the Long Island Veterans’ Home management.
