Requests for Operating and Capital Appropriations, Fiscal Year (FY) 1980

(2) As president of the University, I submit the attached requests for incremental operating funds, for new capital appropriations, and for new appropriations for the Food Production Research Program (Food for Century Three) for fiscal year (FY) 1980. (Copies of the complete budget documents are filed with the secretary of the board for record.) The request for $37,473,300 in incremental operating funds shown in Tables 1 and 2 differ somewhat from the preliminary request presented to the Board of Trustees on July 19, 1978, as follows. 1) T h e request for Space Realignment, Renewal, and Replacement funds ($2,000,000) has been removed from the operating request. 2) The request for the Assistance to Students Program at Chicago Circle has been increased by $120,000. 3) Two requests have been added to the Special Services/Funding category: $50,500 for a teaching device, described as an "electronic blackboard," for the Public Service/Statewide Programming section of the Office of Associate Vice President for Public Service; and $34,400 for Nonacademic Employees Reclassifications and Salary Adjustments for the Cooperative Extension Service. 4) Slight changes have been made in the calculation of the amounts necessary for the Salary Increase/Compensation Improvement and the Operation and Maintenance for New Areas increments. The final request for operating funds also includes an increment of $24,579,000 to bring the FY 1980 funding for retirement to the statutory level.
