The report proposes a $51.2 million increase in funding toward "base adequacy," which aims to "support base operating needs, enrollment growth, additional faculty and staff, library and other instructional and research materials, and efforts to facilities."

"The proposals made by SCHEV would be advantageous to higher education in general and therefore to the University as well," Colette Sheehy, vice president for management and budget, said in an email.
