* Community and Technical Colleges.

Assumptions:

a. Spending at the southern average for all institutions (i.e., fully funded system), except as otherwise noted.

b. BOR weighted average funding targets employed for four-year and two-year institutions (except LSU national target).

c. No change in SREB institutional classifications.

d. No change in relative enrollments among four-year institutions, except for LSU.

e. No change in relative enrollments among two-year institutions, including technical college.

f. Latest SREB FTE values employed (lower than actual present values, but comparable to other values in report).

g. For option 3, LSU weighted average tuition increased by $1,000/year (in-state tuition increase would be less).

h. Total current funding excludes LSU Ag Center, line-item research activities (e.g., LUMCON), medical schools, the vet school and TOPS.
