Since the independent institutions do not currently report any of the requested data to the Higher Education Coordinating Board, the board estimates that two new staff members (2 FTEs) would be required to prepare the reports, edit and work with the independent institutions as they submit the data, and complete any calculations required to produce the data measures from the reported elements. Additional personnel cost is estimated at $151,753 in fiscal year 2008 and $128,198 in fiscal year 2009. Personnel cost incurred for fiscal years 2010-12 would be $128,198 per year, for a five year total of $664,545.
The Higher Education Coordinating Board also estimates that additional costs would be incurred for technology expenses. As a new project, one or more new databases would be required to be established using the new Database Consolidation Project procedures. The cost of establishing and administering that database is reported as a technology cost, conservatively estimated at $25,000 per year, or $125,000 for the five year 2008-2012 period.
Total cost to the state is estimated at $176,753 in fiscal year 2008 and $153,198 in fiscal year 2009. Costs for fiscal year 2010-12 would be $153,198 per year, for a five year cost of $789,545.
