CMS funding can have negative impact on the academic mission of campuses.
Since academic affairs makes up the bulk of every campus budget, the funding for CMS is affecting those budgets. In essence on many campuses the cost of CMS has reduced the benefit campuses might have seen from increased student enrollment funds. In addition, the third year of the infrastructure build-out is not funded at this time. Without funding for this third phase, eight campuses are at risk of not being fully integrated into the infrastructure. While we generally see the benefit of CMS, much of CMS cannot happen until the infrastructure build-out is completed.
