9. Asset Preservation 9

10. Asset Preservation Projected Need versus State Investment Vanderweil Facilities Advisors: Initial VFA Study was completed in 2007, updated in 2013 Projected Asset Preservation Need versus State Investment Fiscal Years 2007 through 2022 VFA Study Projections: State Investment: Identified investment needed to bring campus E&G facilities up to industry standards Projected Asset Appropriations for Preservation Need1 Time Period Biennium Asset Preservation 2007-2011 2012-2016 2017-2021 $5.1 billion 6.3 billion $7.3 billion 2008-10 2010-12 2012-14 2014-16 2016-18 2018-20 2020-22 $22.0 million 0.0 0.0 240.0 million 0.0 0.0 $19.0 million $281.0 million Over the past seven biennia, the state spent $281.0 million on facilities renovation and renewal 1 Cumulative Need This represents about 3.8% of the projected $7.3 billion system total asset preservation need 10

11. Asset Preservation Spending on New Construction versus Renovation Over the past 24 years, Kentucky has invested: $1.7 billion in new and expanded E&G facilities $514.0 million in state funded asset preservation projects The ratio of spending on new construction to asset preservation was 3-to-1 11

12. Asset Preservation 2020-22 Capital Request Funding Source 2020-21 2021-22 Biennium $200 100 $300 $200 100 $300 $400 200 $600 State Bond Funds Campus Match Total (Dollars in Millions) Request Features: $400 M of bond funds matched with $200 M of campus funds ($.50 on the $1.00) State plus campus funds would address about 8% of projected $7.3 B total need CPE recommended a funding pool, allocated based on each institution s share of system total asset preservation need; supported by a list of priority projects No requests for new construction or information technology projects 12

13. Asset Preservation 2020-22 Capital Request (Cont d) Rationale for Request: Total asset preservation need projected to reach $7.3 B by 2021 There has been minimal state investment in asset preservation since 2008 (i.e., $281 M or 3.8% of projected need) Investment is needed to maintain the value, functionality, safety and security of state-owned facilities Modern facilities and systems reduce operating costs and better serve students Construction costs continue to increase with each passing year 13

14. Performance Funding 14

15. Postsecondary Education Working Group Role and Responsibilities KRS 164.092, Section 11(b)(c) Beginning in fiscal year 2020-21 and every three fiscal years thereafter, the postsecondary education working group shall convene to: determine if the funding model is functioning as expected identify any unintended consequences of the model recommend any adjustments to the model The results of the review and recommendations of the working group shall be reported to the Governor, the Interim Joint Committee on Appropriations and Revenue, and Interim Joint Committee on Education 15

16. Postsecondary Education Working Group Models Functioning as Expected State funding is no longer distributed based on historical share, but on student success outcomes produced Models are providing financial incentives for student progression and timely completion, and premiums for STEM+H, URM, and LI degrees Institutions have reacted to the models strategically: Increased alignment between campus and state goals Adopted internal budget allocation models to reward performance Expanded emphasis on need-based aid and completion grants Universities and KCTCS institutions have progressed toward funding parity (equilibrium achieved at 5 of 8 universities, 10 of 16 KCTCS colleges) 16

17. Postsecondary Education Working Group Models Functioning as Expected (Cont d) High-Wage High-Demand, URM, and Targeted Industry credentials grew at rates well above total credentials Despite a premium in the model, credentials awarded to low-income students grew less than other credentials Percent Change in Bachelor's Degrees Produced by Type Between Academic Years 2013-14 and 2019-20 Total Bachelor's Degrees 12.0% Percent Change in KCTCS Credentials Produced by Type Between Academic Years 2015-16 and 2019-20 STEM+H Bachelor's Degrees 30.4% Total Credentials 27.7% STEM+H Credentials 29.0% URM Bachelor's Degrees 40.0% URM Credentials 40.1% Low-Income Credentials 16.9% Low Income Bachelor's 1.0% Underprepared Credentials 45.1% -10% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% Source: Council on Postsecondary Education, Data and Advanced Analytics Unit, Performance Funding Database. High-Wage High-Demand 79.8% STEM+H and URM degrees grew by more than double and triple the rate of total bachelor s degrees, respectively Despite a premium in the model, bachelor s degrees awarded to low income students rose by about 1% Targeted Industry Sectors 40.3% 0% 15% 30% 45% 60% 75% 90% Source: Council on Postsecondary Education, Data and Advanced Analytics Unit, Performance Funding Database. 17

18. Postsecondary Education Working Group Models Functioning as Expected (Cont d) Kentucky on track to achieve 60x30 attainment goal: Undergraduate degrees and credentials need to grow by 1.7% per year to reach goal Kentucky Public and Private Postsecondary Institution Undergraduate Degrees and Credentials1Surpassing Growth Rate Needed Academic Years 2015-16 Through 2019-20 3.3% 3.5% 2.8% Over the past four years, the annual number of degrees and credentials awarded grew by about 3.5% per year 4.3% 0.3% Average Annual Growth Rate of 1.7% Needed to Meet 60x30 Goal Performance funding and other CPE initiatives have encouraged degree production despite recent enrollment declines 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 Trendline to Reach 60x30 Goal Percent Change from Prior Year Source: Kentucky Postsecondary Education Data System (KPEDS). 1Unduplicated Completers. 18

19. Postsecondary Education Working Group Unintended Consequences For four years, models were applied with no new funding Funding Models for the Universities and KCTCS Institutions Implementation Schedule and Funding Sources (Dollars in Millions) Lack of state support resulted in redistribution of the General Fund base among institutions Institution Contribution New Total Funding1 Timeline Fiscal Year Funding Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21 $42.9 31.0 38.7 $14.9 $0.0 0.0 0.0 $0.0 $42.9 31.0 38.7 $14.9 Hold harmless and stop loss provisions were scheduled to end in 2021-22 (KRS 164.092) Year 4 2021-22 $0.0 $17.3 $17.3 KSU, MoSU, MuSU, and six KCTCS colleges were facing fiscal cliffs in 2021-22 1Represents state appropriations, stop-loss contributions, and other campus carve outs added to the Performance Fund, which were then distributed among institutions based on outcomes produced. 19

20. Postsecondary Education Working Group Recommended Adjustments Establish a General Fund Floor equal to each institution s 2020-21 regular appropriation, plus any performance distribution, minus debt service and mandated programs Policymakers should prioritize maintaining the General Fund Floor over providing new funds to the Performance Fund Going forward, there should be no redistribution of base funding among postsecondary institutions All funding in the Performance Fund will come from appropriations provided by the General Assembly, rather than campus stop loss contributions (i.e., 0% stop loss) 20

21. Postsecondary Education Working Group Recommended Adjustments (Cont d) CPE and KCTCS will use existing funding models with no changes to distribute any new funds appropriated to the Performance Fund Performance distributions will be nonrecurring to institutions that earn those funds, so that appropriated funds will be recurring to the Performance Fund in subsequent years CPE will reconvene the working group and submit recommended revisions to the models by no later than December 1, 2023 21

22. Postsecondary Education Working Group Current Status In response to working group recommendations, SB 135 was introduced to effect changes in the performance funding statute SB 135 passed the House and Senate with no changes and was signed into law by the Governor on March 18 The bill amended the Performance Funding Statute (KRS 164.092) based on Work Group recommendations CPE staff ran the 2021-22 iteration of the university funding model and shared the resulting preliminary distribution with campus CBOs Campus CBOs and IR Directors validated performance data and model calculations and the distribution was finalized on April 9 22

23. Performance Distribution (Fiscal 2021-22) University and KCTCS Models The enacted budget (HB 192) appropriated $17.3 M to the Performance Fund Fiscal 2021-22 Performance Distribution Institution That amount was allocated between the universities and KCTCS based on sector share of total adjusted net General Fund (per KRS 164.092) UK UofL EKU KSU MoSU MuSU NKU WKU $6,086,400 2,972,500 120,200 0 0 0 $13.5 M was distributed among universities based on share of student success outcomes produced and operational activity 2,902,700 1,398,800 The remaining $3.8 M was distributed among KCTCS institutions using their model (detail available upon request) University Sector $13,480,600 KCTCS 3,826,500 Total Performance Fund $17,307,100 23
