Program Authorization: Act 45 of 1959
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Role, Scope, and Mission Statement: Louisiana State University at Alexandria (LSUA), an open-admissions institution, will serve the educational needs of the citizens of Rapides and its contiguous parishes by providing credit and non-credit courses, associate degree programs for both transfer and job-oriented students, appropriate support services and resources, cultural and recreational opportunities for completion locally of baccalaureate degrees in a variety of disciplines.
The goals of LSU Alexandria are:
1. To provide quality educational programs to meet the needs of central Louisiana residents.
2. To have students who graduate from LSUA, or who complete 60 or more hours and then transfer to another institution, possess the skills necessary to further their educational or career objectives.
3. To provide effective administrative and support services to assist students to derive the maximum benefit from their educational experience.
OBJECTIVES AND PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Unless otherwise indicated, all objectives are to be accomplished during or by the end of FY 1999-2000. Performance indicators are made up of two parts: name and value. The indicator name describes what is being measured. The indicator value is the numeric value or level achieved within a given measurement period. For budgeting purposes, performance indicator values are shown for the prior fiscal year, the current fiscal year, and alternative funding scenarios (continuation budget level and Executive Budget recommendation level) for the ensuing fiscal year (the fiscal year of the budget document).
RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR THE PROGRAM
The sources of funding for this program are the General Fund, Fees and Self-generated Revenues, and Statutory Dedications. Fees and Self-generated Revenues are from: (1) student fees, such as (a) general registration fees, (b) non-resident fees, (c) application fees, and (d) other fees; (2) sales and services of educational activities; and (3) other revenues. Statutory Dedications are from the Higher Education Initiative Fund: Higher Education Library and Scientific Acquisitions Account, as per R.S. 17.31269.6 (FY 1997-1998 only). (Per R.S. 39:32B.(8), see table below for a listing of expenditures out of each Statutory Dedicated fund.)
The total means of financing for this program is recommended at 100.2% of the existing operating budget. It represents 97.7% of the total request ($7,993,893) for this program. The major changes in the existing operating budget are due to the Enhancement Pool Distribution from the Board of Regents ($59,312) and the statewide adjustments cited above.
