Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
During the community college fiscal years commencing on and
					 after July 1, 1975, State financial assistance for community college operating
					 costs shall be determined by the State University trustees pursuant to section 6304  of the Education Law as
					 follows:
(a)
Definitions for
				  this section.
(1)
Net
				  operating costs,
such as gross operating expenditures minus actual
				  offsetting operating revenues (such as Federal aid) and actual operating
				  expenditures not allowable for State aid.
(2)
Net operating budget.
Gross operating budget minus budgeted offsetting operating revenues (such as
				  Federal aid) and budgeted appropriations not allowable for State aid.
(3)
Rental cost for physical
				  space.
The costs of rented physical space as defined by the Chancellor
				  or designee.
(4)
Disadvantaged students.
Students eligible for supplemental
				  financial assistance in education opportunity programs under criteria
				  established by State University of New York, pursuant to section 6452  of the Education Law and Subpart 27-2
				  of this Title (Rules of the Board of Regents).
(5)
Full-time equivalent
				  student.
A hypothetical student who has enrolled in a course load
				  consisting of 30 semester credit hours or 45 quarter credit hours, or the
				  equivalent of such credit hours in the case of noncredit course offerings,
				  during the course of one college fiscal year.
(6)
Full-time equivalent
				  faculty.
One full-time faculty position. To ascertain full-time
				  equivalent faculty, divide the total class hours taught at the college,
				  including classroom hours and laboratory hours, by the average classroom and
				  laboratory hours taught by the college's full-time faculty, excluding overload
				  hours taught for extra compensation.
Full-time faculty
for
				  this purpose is defined as all personnel holding faculty rank and being paid on
				  a full-time basis, with the exclusion of:
(i)
				  persons assigned to perform nonteaching functions including, for example,
				  personnel holding the title of president, vice-president, dean, librarian,
				  registrar or student counselor;
(ii) personnel holding the title of, or
				  formally designated to function as academic department heads, not to exceed one
				  per department; and
(iii) faculty
				  members granted release time of at least six credit hours per semester to
				  undertake duties required under the terms of a grant or contract funded by an
				  outside agency; provided, however, that such release time is accompanied by an
				  equivalent reduction in salary or an offsetting recovery of revenues by the
				  college.
For example, where 100 full-time faculty as defined above
					 generate 3,200 class hours during the academic year, the average class hours
					 taught is 32; and where the total class hours taught during the same academic
					 year is 3,856, the number of full-time equivalent faculty is 120.5 (3,856
					 divided by 32).
(7)
Costs of instruction and
				  departmental research.
The costs of personal services, equipment and
				  contractual expenses for instruction and departmental research for the day and
				  evening sessions, winter intersessions, and summer sessions of the
				  college.
(8)
Full-time
				  credit student.
A student who is enrolled in a minimum of 12 credit
				  hours or credit hour equivalents of academic work per semester or
				  quarter.
(9)
Diploma and
				  certificate programs.
Those programs approved by the State University
				  of New York and the State Education Department as leading to a recognized
				  credential, either diploma or certificate.
