NIU requests $91 million for FY18

NIU requests $91 million for FY18

By Courtesy NIU Office of the President | September 19, 2016

The Board of Trustees carried a motion approving the Fiscal Year 2018 budget request of $91,092,700 which will be prepared and submitted to the Illinois Board of Higher Education for approval in the fall of FY17.

“The real challenge is that this is the level of funding we received in [FY15],” said Alan Phillips, vice president of administration and finance. “Because of the budget impasse in Springfield, we don’t know how much money we’ll receive for [FY18].”

Eric Weldy, vice president of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, said the enrollment decrease is because of the 12-month budget impasse, which resulted from state lawmakers disagreeing on a budget for Fiscal Year 2016. State budget appropriations could not be dispersed, including funding for higher education, until the budget was passed June 30.
