127 City Colleges of Chicago – FY2014 Budget

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Harry S Truman College (Truman College) provides students with high-quality, affordable, educational opportunities that prepare students for a diverse global economy. As one of the largest of City Colleges, with a yearly enrollment of more than 22,000 students, Truman College has the largest English as a Second Language and GED program in Illinois with more than 11,000 students annually.

Reforms implemented through Reinvention have delivered major progress towards these goals. Truman College projects to award more than 600 associate degrees in FY 2013, which is a more than 30% increase over those awarded (452) in FY 2012. Nursing graduates achieved an 89% passage rate on the NCLEX-RN examination in 2012. Additionally, Truman College opened its Career Planning and Placement Center to assist students with resume writing skills, interviewing skills and job search tools.

Truman College’s newly opened Transfer Center to date has served over 600 students and has offered over 40 events to apprise students of transfer opportunities.

Truman uses a Grades First Early Alert System, an at-risk student intervention system that signals advisors to proactively communicate with the at-risk students. Our new Writing Center has served over 1,000 students and has increased student success in double digits. Our new Math Center boasted 1,688 visits during its first term, raising success rates as well. As we continue to increase number of Adult Education students who advance to and succeed in college-level courses, Truman College has increased the Gateway to College program, which provides waivers, by 100% this year. The College also piloted its Healthcare Bridge Program with general cohorts and two medical office cohorts.

Sincerely,

Dr. Reagan Romali

President, Harry S Truman College

The largest expenditure category, by far, is personnel. Salaries and benefits account for just over $32 million or approximately 85.7% of Truman College’s operating funds. Contractual services and supplies will

represent approximately $2.9 million, while utilities are budgeted at $1.1 million of the operating expenses. The remaining appropriation of approximately $1.3 million will be used for travel, fixed charges, student

HARRY S TRUMAN COLLEGE

130 City Colleges of Chicago – FY2014 Budget

Truman College is projecting steady enrollment for FY2014 which should not marginally affect tuition and fee revenue for FY2014. For FY2014, approximately 42.1% of Truman College’s operation is supported by its tuition and fees.

The FY2014 budget for Direct instruction represents 53.9% of operating spending. Direct instruction consists of those activities dealing primarily with the teaching of students such as full-time faculty and adjunct/part-time lecutures. In addition to Instruction, the campus provides Academic Support services for instruction, public services and research. Included in both Instruction and Academic Support are supplies and materials to support class room teaching. Truman College’s budget estimates that $6.8 million of the budget will be for Academic Support and Student Services, which represents a slight increase over the FY2013 amounts.Student Services provides assistance in such areas as registration, records, financial aid, placement testing and student advisement.

Building Operations and Maintenance will require $5.8 million of the budget. The figure also represents a decrease from the FY2013 budgeted amount of $6.4 million. In FY2013, Truman College opened the Larry McKeon Administrative building, which relocated the student service functions in one central location as well as the College’s seven-level parking garage. In addition, to this new building, the Truman campus includes the Main Building, Technical Center and Lakeview Learning Center. The maintenance costs of the total campus footprint have remained flat.

Student waivers, athletic waivers and service waivers consume approximately $0.7 million of the FY2014 projected budget.

During FY2014, the College will continue to be committed to upholding high institutional and academic standards and to excel in understanding and improving student learning. We will accomplish our mission on behalf of our students, with

the partnership of our faculty, our staff and our community partners.

Truman College serves a large, diverse population and continues to provide a large number of credit hours for City Colleges. With increased focus on City Colleges’ Reinvention initiatives, Truman College anticipates to continue to deliver outstanding educational and economic value FY2014. $0 $5 $10 $15 $20 $25 $30 $35 $40
