Kalbert Young<\/a>, UH<\/abbr> vice president for budget and finance and chief financial officer, shares his analysis of the 2020 UH<\/abbr> budget request to the Legislature.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The end of the year is usually a time of holidays and preparing for the new year. For the University of Â鶹´«Ã½,<\/span> it is also usually a time that includes budget preparations and preparing for the upcoming legislative session. On November 21, 2019, the UH<\/abbr> Board of Regents (BOR<\/abbr>) approved a supplemental operating budget request<\/a>, which was submitted to the governor and, separately, the Legislature. The budget request is to provide additional state general funds during the upcoming fiscal year that starts July 1, 2020. The governor has considered the university\u2019s request and has included portions as part of the executive branch\u2019s budget proposal to the Legislature. The executive budget proposal was transmitted to the Legislature on December 16, 2019.<\/p>\n

The UH<\/abbr> BOR<\/abbr> supplemental budget request totals $28,156,280 in FY<\/abbr>21 for various programs across the UH<\/abbr> System. The governor\u2019s executive branch proposal includes $24,993,560 for FY<\/abbr>21 for UH<\/abbr>. For reference, UH<\/abbr> currently receives about $526.5 million in state general funds as part of its $1.1 billion operating budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I would like to take this opportunity to highlight a few of the items that impact our students directly in the operating budget: the expansion of the Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Promise Program, increased mental health services for UH<\/abbr> students and the establishment of a medical school cohort and residency program on the island of Maui.<\/p>\n
